This week I worked on the proposal presentation, setting up the WordPress site, and creating our GANTT chart. For the proposal presentation, I focused on fleshing out implementation details and determining what our technical challenges will be. We plan on using a Raspberry Pi Zero to manage a set of BLE scanners to determine what items are in a backpack. This list of items is then used by our phone app to notify the user if they are missing any items.
For the WordPress website, I set up the menu bar, and I helped write the introduction and summary for our project. For our Gantt chart, I helped list out the tasks which we need to accomplish to make our system functional, from building the scanner array to registering new items in the phone app.
For next week, I will begin designing the system, and looking at which specific tags and readers we will purchase. I will also finalize the block diagram for our scanning system.
