Team Status Report for 4/19/25

What are the most significant risks that could jeopardize the success of the project? How are these risks being managed? What contingency plans are ready? 

The most significant risk at this point would probably be in getting a new RPi environment up and running. Since we fried our old RPi, we ultimately are unable to proceed with any other changes until we can reboot. We’re all currently putting all our efforts in getting this new environment set up again in hopes of having something to show by our final demo next week.

Were any changes made to the existing design of the system (requirements, block diagram, system spec, etc)? Why was this change necessary, what costs does the change incur, and how will these costs be mitigated going forward? 

We attempted to migrate our circuit to protoboards, but in the process of doing so, burnt out our RPi 4. As a result, we’ll be using an RPi 3 lent from Professor Benson to get our system back up and running.

Provide an updated schedule if changes have occurred. This is also the place to put some photos of your progress or to brag about a component you got working.
