As we begin the second and final semester of the IPPD course, Team MATR is getting ready to build a final prototype of the turtle tracking device. Since returning from holiday vacations, the team has been hard at work on the final planning for the next couple of months. The mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering majors are splitting up into sub-teams for some of the more specific technical tasks. First and foremost, electrical and computer teams will be working on micro-controller programming and making successful satellite transmissions. While the mechanical team will be focusing on manufacturing the mold for enclosing the electrical system in epoxy.
