What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).
This week I spent time clearly defining our implementation, firstly I had to choose parts to fit both our size and power restraints. Secondly, with the team we worked together to very clearly define the processes that occur to make our product functional, hopefully this will create some clarity to the audience. I am curious to if there will be clearer feedback from the audience as we haven’t gotten feedback from the audience submitted forms. Along with that the pcb design is almost complete though without a complete power analysis. Essentially our pcb is acting as a plate to hold everything together with minimal wires.

Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
We are behind schedule due to not ordering our pcb on time, however it will be nice to get design feedback behind ordering something that is pivotal to the device. Though it was our intention to have a pcb that could be a bit more modular to our needs, eg being able to use Bluetooth tracking if our pdr algorithm is not accurate. This week with feedback we will be able to fix our design and order by midweek.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
It is the same deliverables since last week, however they are all due on Monday. So to restate the design review slides, pcb design and ordering should be completed this week.
