A significant risk that could jeopardize the mission are not having edits to the new PCB done in time, which could, once we get the hardware in hand, have some surprises in store for us. Our contingency plan for this includes having the old PCB as a backup for demo, along with components on a breadboard to fix the bugs in the old PCB.
One change Felipe and Delaynie decided on this week was to specifically use BLE Serial to communicate the user-generated schedule from the companion app to the Remigotchi device. Earlier discussions involved manually editing GATT tables until we did a bit more research into what BLE-related technology was already available that might be tailored to our needs.
No schedule changes have occurred. Below is a photo of testing some basic BLE serial firmware on the custom PCB we received last week!
