This week we made the major step of finally ordering the first revision of our PCB, and we also made incremental progress on the firmware and energy harvesting components of our project. Firmware changes include a refactoring to improve communication with the GPS. On the energy harvesting front, we received our solar cells so began working to characterize them and compare them to to the piezoelectric and generator-based options.
We have no new risks which have arisen. There have been no changes made to the design of the system or to the schedule.
