Goals:

• Research Potential Solutions
• Get more information about the project from Professor Brandes
• Plan high-level hardware and software design

Worked on:

• Both – Talked to Professor Brandes to get more details. Visited the data logging site at the creek and took note of the current design.
• Researched and found hardware components to purchase for our solution
• Made a work schedule for each week of the project

Datalogger setup at the creek

Challenges:

• Deciding on how to power up the micro controller when it is not connected to a computer
• Planning software design for embedded system
•  Narrowing down what items to purchase

Next Week:

• Extensive research about utilizing our hardware equipment before they arrive
  • Radio transmitter from micro controller
  • Interfacing with datalogger
• Receive sample data from 9-pin output
• Put in parts order
