Reflection:
This project has taught me how to work with other peers from different majors and specializations. Having been the one that takes the numerical data from the sensor, and then processing the data into understandable values for the software team to feed into the UI, I needed to be clear about the timelines and the workings of the device - both from the hardware and software point of view. I learnt that communication is crucial for an effective integration of a product, and everyone plays an extremely important part in the process.
