Week 1: September 3rd- September 7th
1. Brainstorming project ideas
- Inspired by the convenience of BIRD and LimeBike, we hoped to recreate this idea in a longboard rather than bikes and scooters
2. Decided on BOARDLOCK, envisioning a single-motor mappable electric longboard with manual locking ability (from iPhone)
Week 2: September 10th- September 14th
1. Max: Research/Acquiring materials (1.5 hours)
- Found optimal longboard size (33 inches), brushless motor, ESC, E-Longboard Assembly Kit, 2x Lipo Batteries
2. Sept 13: All 3 of us met with Jim and our TA to finalize BOARDLOCK idea, make a plan (1 hour)
- Got idea approved :), decided to focus on GPS and locking mechanism using Raspberry Pi
- Discarded building an app (not enough knowledge/would take too long)
- Debating whether to purchase a remote control to increase/decrease motor speed
- Debating best way to lock/unlock wheels, one option would be to set up a "button" (through website possibly) that detects user's proximity through Bluetooth
Week 3: September 17th - September 21st
