Progress

This week we put together the wearable version of the watch, including support for SD card point logging, map loading, and time display, and tested it on a walk through Schenley. The test went very well, though the GPS sample rate was much too high and there were a few occasions where the GPS returned a very incorrect sample point.

However, several things notably went very right:

• The map was seamlessly loaded from the SD card as we walked, keeping our location at the center of the screen and showing nearby paths
• The logging of the path worked, and we were able to plot the points later.
• The watch felt fairly comfortable and stayed on the wrist even while trying to step carefully over mud, jump across rocks on a stream, etc.
• The battery was charged from the solar panel and appeared to remain constant while in the sun.

Unfortunately, that was the only task I could manage this week due to traveling for another event.

Pacing

Most of the main functionality is worked out; though we have a lot of things to do related to the documentation (video, poster, etc).

Planning

Next week we will finish the poster and the video.
