We think that one of the most significant risks would be if parts have long lead times or if the ordering process takes a super long time. We are mitigating this by choosing parts that are in stock on DigiKey, and also finding alternatives on Amazon where applicable. If we run into serious issues here, we can always choose different hardware components to prototype with and then switch over to the actual components we want to use for our final product later on. It is important to get data flowing asap so we can begin some initial testing, data characterization, and data analysis. We plan to order parts early this coming week, hopefully get them in by the end of the week or early next week, and have a working hardware setup by the end of next week.
Some metrics could not be as easy to read as we might think, and could lead to metric calculations being poor. These risks are being managed by having the base idea for the metrics be more general or by having range values instead of giving specific values. As a contingency, we have a few other metrics that we could try to calculate instead.
No significant changes have been made, we are still working on choosing the specific hardware components, but no major changes, just part selection.
No schedule updates at the moment. Still following the original schedule.
Basic UI setup has started:
