This week we met to finalize our solutions for our design prototype. The last thing we need to decide is to pick between using WiFi and Bluetooth. We originally thought WiFi would be better, but now we are leaning towards Bluetooth. Their Pugh chart scores are almost identical, so we are going to do some more research about how they interact with the Arduino before we choose. We also need to research batteries that have a higher output voltage. An Arduino requires around 7-12 V, so the 3.6 V batteries that we found originally are not good enough. We are all going to write our sections by our meeting on Monday. Then we will work on finalizing the budget and the final few design specs that we have left.

Answer from Dr. Klaesner:
Bluetooth is easier with Arduinos than Wifi.
