Milestone 4 Report

Milestone 4 Report (Prepared by: Joshua Burkhart)

Intended Progress: Describe the features/components you wanted to complete by this milestone.

By this point in time I had hoped to have fully constructed the vehicle and fully tested / debugged the vehicle's hardware and software.

Progress To Date: Describe what the team have been doing towards completing the tasks involved in realizing the current milestone objectives.

The team has been working toward completing the device by testing and researching the integration of the gps receiver with the rest of the vehicle components.

Projected Progress: What will you do in the next project phase in terms of code development, testing, integration and debugging. How will the team adjust its workload in order to compensate for current rates of progress in the chosen development areas, and how will work towards the next milestone be organised.

 As this is the final milestone, future reports will cease to be generated. We will continue to research arduino device integration techniques. This remains the final step in the project.

Problems Encountered: Comment on any significant problems with technical progress or group management. This is a chance to get input from the team's instructor on fruitful avenues for addressing technical problems or group management issues.

 Physical integration of the gps device posed a larger problem than initially expected.

Conclusion: Brief overview of the status of the group and project overall. 

 The project was successfully demonstrated at the GVSU project day. Project development is blocked going forward as the problem of gps receiver integration is confronted.
