This week I practiced and gave our initial presentation, and then the rest of the work I did was on selecting hardware components to use. I looked into IMUs and microprocessors that we could use. I also did a bit of research into how we could make the whole part waterproof, we could use a pogo push pin connector for charging and then put the rest of the electronics in an epoxy.
I am making it a priority to select and order parts on Monday so that we can start prototyping as soon as possible. I am still on schedule for now. I plan to order parts on Monday and hopefully be able to get a working rough prototype by the end of this week or early next week (somewhat depending on part lead times and ordering process).
I think the STMicroelectronics LSM6DSV is the IMU we will use, but I am working to confirm that we can get both a good dev board for prototyping and an individual component later on for connection to our PCB we design.
