Ahmad’s Status Report 2/14

This week I have been extensively working on finalizing our UWB setup and finalizing the design with our team. This was a crucial step as each one of our components needed to work seamlessly together. As stated in our previous report, we need to minimize potential risks of order delays and or delays in our software integration. An improper step here could lead us to a rabbit hole of issues and delays which we are actively working to prevent. To reduce that risk, I completed a full architecture review and confirmed a stable deployment plan for our first implementation. The current design uses five fixed anchors, four mobile tags, lightweight onboard compute, Pi Zero 2 W, per tag for local data handling, and one central Raspberry Pi 5 gateway for aggregation and backend delivery. This structure gives us clear ownership boundaries between hardware, firmware, and networking, while also making it easier to isolate failures during testing.
