Last week, we had a great time presenting our Preliminary Design Review to Florida Power and Light sponsors and subject matter experts, and we were able to get our preliminary design report finalized and signed off. We are working now on ordering the parts and building our initial prototype that we plan to present at prototype inspection day.

Among our members, we already have an Arduino Uno and a low-cost RFID reader we plan to use to for prototype purposes. We have also purchased a GPS module and Wi-Fi module to connect with the Arduino microcontroller. We plan to reuse these components for the final deliverable and switch out the RC522 RFID reader with a reader with a much greater range.

This upcoming week, we will be working on setting up our database endpoint to accept data via Wi-Fi. Once we receive the additional parts we ordered, we will work on wiring together the entire solution.
