HOW TO ACCOMPLISH THIS
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
GANTT CHART
RISKSInput Power to Arduino Due
Risk: The Arduino Due can only have an input of 3.3 V unlike the Arduino Uno having 5 V.
Mitigation: Zener diode limiter (clamping circuit.)Collaboration with Team Receiver
Risk: Improper co-location with Receiver Team. Mitigation: Keep in close contact with Receiver team upon design of final board.
Scheduling Risk: Not having the code and/or board complete by deadlines. Mitigation: Sticking to Gantt chart schedule to ensure project components are completed on time. Risk: Manufacturing company lead times being inaccurate. Mitigation: Board design submitted two weeks early in event of delay.
Test PointsRisk: Having a completed faulty board and no way to connect to certain areas to test. Mitigation: Insert appropriate test points in design.
