Team Status Report for 3/21

The most significant risk that could jeopardize the success of the project would be if the parts that we ordered don’t come in time. We originally had issues with getting our LED chip, but it has been resolved. The other important piece of hardware we need is the connection to the power supply from the cable. However, if we don’t receive it, we will have to solder straight from the cable to our power supply, as one of the options. One change to the design of the system was the power and brightness of our LED. This change was required because we were not able to get the previous LED chip we wanted to order. It was lost in transit, and would take too long to get another one. This increases our cost of the LED chip from $10.99 to $15.99. This is still within our budget. Our schedule has not changed still, since we would start fabrication next week and then assembly.
