Week 4 brought great progress for Brick By Bit, notable in establishing a clear direction for our work this semester. Our focus this week centered around refining our project scope and setting up the collaborative tools needed for project development.

We also began to understand the previous work that has been done on GitHub, exploring the existing codebase and development history. We also created a shared GitHub organization that will be used by all developers working on the project.

In coming days, we plan to conduct thorough literature research which will help inform our design decisions moving forward, such as looking into existing gateways and methods of wireless connection between devices. We will also perform a more in-depth look into the prior GitHub code to better identify areas for optimization.

Next week, our focus will be on preparing our initial Preliminary Design Review (PDR) presentation.
