Giovanni Maddalozzo Status Report for 2/7/2026

Hi, this is my status report for the week of 2/7/2026. This week I took time to research microcontrollers, how we would connect to the internet, and potential database services. I think we have narrowed down our microcontroller to be the NVIDIA Jetson Nano Orin. We have already put in a request for that piece, which is good. I also looked into the notecarrier which we can use for internet and was previously suggested by Tamal. I put these in our shared folder for the parts. I also think that for our database service we can use Firebase because it is easy to use and Kevin has previous experience with it. I think our progress is on schedule and potentially even ahead since we have somewhat finalized some parts. Next week I want to fully talk about what I have discovered with the team and nail down all the parts so that we can request it that week.
