Team Status Report for 2/7

This week, we worked on fully defining the scope of our project and what requirements are needed for our MVP. So far, we haven’t made any significant decisions that could jeopardize the success of our project. At this moment, our biggest risk would be falling behind schedule and having parts come later than expected. To minimize these risks, we have a Gantt chart we are following and have built-in buffer time for delays and debugging. Most of the changes we have made to the design this week was flushing out the details of what requirements we want our project to fulfill and how we plan to do so. We have decided on a DMX controlled light with an accompanying controller. This change allows our light to be compatible with industry standard lighting consoles and the costs of this change would be purchasing DMX to serial converters for our light and controller.
