Further Planning Completed

     This week was spent completely on developing a proper project schedule. It included all of the tasks that need to be completed before we can assemble our drone for prototyping. Initially, we began by looking at our action plan for the semester. From there we elaborated on possible extensions and requirements for further research on several different components. We placed our research as the first course of action in our project, followed by hardware and software integration. Using the arrow and Gantt charts, we learned that some activities are going to require more time than we predicted. This was incorporated in our project schedule by spreading out the work and creating parallels.

     We encountered some difficulties with the Gantt chart program itself, as well as with creating dependencies in our arrow chart. The Gantt chart program kept freezing and crashing, which slightly hindered our progress on the schedule. The arrow chart was difficult for a couple of reasons. It was very hard to determine some dependencies without some further research on previous nodes. As of now we require nothing new. We just need to begin our research and see how it lifts off to determine further problems/questions.

      As far as showing the work load for individual group members, it will displayed in the pictures attached. As of now, we do not have any experiments to conduct. We just need to begin learning more information of the drone.
