Rescoping

Our team at a meeting over the weekend.

This week, we met up on Sunday to get some of the details of the project ironed out. We worked on our both our Software and Hardware Architecture Diagram, to make sure we had everything sorted out. We decided on using a Raspberry Pi for our initial proof-of-concept prototype hardware to ease the development process. We also decided on specific Ultra WideBand (UWB) hardware that we would use to pinpoint the location of the customer’s car.

In our meeting with our sponsor on Tuesday, however, the scope of our project changed. After talking with our sponsor and liaison, we decided on not having any custom hardware in the customer’s vehicle. Instead, all of the communication/processing would happen through the customer’s phone. In addition, our sponsor wanted us to develop a system where the customer could place their order directly through their phone, using AMEX’s closed-loop payment system. With this change in scope, we have a lot of work to do.
