Olivia’s Status Report for 4/20

This week was an exciting but very important week for everyone! With one week left for demos, this week was devoted to finishing the PCB, putting as many finalizing touches into the code, both MCU (PCB programming) and front end of the mobile app. This week I finalized the geofence in the MCU code for the cellular’s GPS module. With trial and error I figured out a way for the GPS and CELL to switch properly allowing for use of both ( before there was an issue with switching). I also worked on refining the flash storage of the stored information from SOS contacts to the home geofence area and radius. I also worked on the presentation as well as testing. I conducted the tests for the PCB communication alongside Anika to test the mobile apps communication to PCB. These tests ranged from stress testing durability, range and more, as well as speed of communication testing, and ensuring they fit within our standards for the use case requirements and design requirements.
