Week 5 - A Job Begun is Half Done

Not much happened this week. Got the report finished off, which turned out to be a lot more helpful than I originally though it would be. Learnt that users preferred a receiver that stayed in one place but could be put anywhere in the house. At the moment we're thinking about making it hang on a door. Need to figure out how much power the tech needs so that we can decide upon a size of solar panel.

Asked Lochan and Anton whether they had any preferences about the aesthetics. That was a pointless exercise. To be honest they're getting very bogged down in the technology, looking to create a completely finished product. Proof of concept, guys! Shouldn't complain really, since the coding at least is going to be down to Lochan. Checked out the workshop. Seems nice.

That's about it at the moment really. Had three pieces of assessment due this week, so that was enough work. Next week we're hoping to get all the tech together and get the damned thing built. Jordan's going to build the actual mailbox (we decided it was best to make our own, as the inevitable chunkiness of the prototype technology might not fit inside an off-the-shelf box). Might do some drawings for him to work off.

Cheerio.
