Battery consumption tested;
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Printed the believed to be final iteration of enclosure design on a high resolution printer;
Did measurements of Bluetooth signal strength from varying distances using actual rabbit skin;
Implanted the device on a cadaver to check for size of skin "bump";
Tested the actual battery consumption of the device;
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Find out ways to diminish the battery consumption using a more efficient code. Most likely by putting the boards to sleep while not in use; Juan
Iterate on enclosure design to make it stronger; Chikeng
Find a replacement motor and adapt the previous' team motor enclosure to it. Since the sponsor wanted a more reliable motor; Ganesha
Conduct heat test; Pedro
