- Battery Issue’s - Ryan, Alex G, Alexander L.
-
- After running the device for some extended periods and monitoring the results we’ve found the power consumption to be at a rate that works with our clients expected time frame. Connecting to the network and sending our data is our highest power draw at 260mA however that is only being done in between lightsleep rounds from the device where we are idling around 2.6mA’s.
- Sensors - Amine, Alex
-
- Our sensors are now easily connected and fully outputting the results into the object that we are sending to the server.
Plans for the next weeks:
- Front-end - Lexi, Ryan
-
- Add user functionality as desired
- Notifications - Armando Vila
-
- Use Live Data in updates during testing.
