I spent majority of this week ironing out the design review slides and its content trying to weigh all pros and cons of every decision we made and making sure we didn’t leave any major loopholes.
The first thing I focused on was the board we are using. Our current communication protocol called for bluetooth but since Gesture Glove found that bluetooth resulted in them not meeting timing requirements, we thought the IoT Nano board might be a good option – but it has less compute. Since we are more concerned with functionality first, we will make an iteration with the BLE Sense board then switch to IoT when we get to wireless communication.
I also tried to spend ample time on breaking down each subtask into smaller subtasks as much as possible. This was a joint effort with my team mates which involved creating more action items for our schedule and refining the block diagram as well as creating a data flow chart.
