Daily Project Logs for week 5 Aug 8 2016

DAY	Project Logs Week 5
MON	More GPS fun. Decided on new name over the weekend. SOS Kids, or SOS for Kids.
TUE	Still on GPS. Decided to go with 433mhz RF instead of bluetooth. Longer range is better for this application. One of the things I have a difficult time with is explaining how something is supposed to work to other people. For that reason I created a, "Description of Behavior" section for my documentation. I will revise it regularly. Writing things down seems to help me organize my thoughts.
WED	Worked out a more defined function list. Yesterday I 3D printed a new case for everything. It was easy, and a good waste of time. I say good because I find it helpful when I am stuck on something to take a break and do something I know how to do. This seems to help renew my confidence, and motivation.
THU	Sill learning GPS stuff.
FRI	Took a stop back today from GPS. Simplified things in my arduino sketch. Now I am making some progress switching between GPS and other Serial communication. Simple is always better, it's always hard to keep organzied so things stay simple.
