PCB Finalization

Welcome back to the investigator weekly blog post. This week we worked with the software for the website to add some style changes to its layout. In these changes we decided to add an option to only display a specific amount of entries. This will make the users interface with the website easier.

We also continued to work on the hardware of the project as well. We altered our method of sending information to the database. Our old system would send the information as soon as it was scanned. This method had a defect that we did not anticipate. The defect could lead to us missing a tag while sending the information. We switched our process to send all the information at the end of the flight. Once we finalized our solution and made sure it worked on a breadboard. We designed a PCB in order to neatly house all of the hardware components together. A PCB will allow our prototype become closer to a final product. The overview of the PCB design is picture below.
