Technology research
- GPS modules, chip sets and antennae.
- High quality audio playback, MP3, ADPCM, class D amps.
- Electronic compasses, AMR sensors, IGRF compensation.
- Standard and full custom LCD panels to 1/4 VGA, 16 level greyscale.
- Battery and charger technology.
- Injection moulding, production and tooling.
Hardware / software partitioning
- Determine the most effective split between hardware and software functionality, minimise
cost but maximise battery life.
Schematics & PCB layout
- Create initial schematics and PCB placement - determine size & weight.
Power consumption
- Model battery life under all expected usage scenarios.
Cost models
- Identify all costs involved in development and production.
Design specification
- Justify the design recommendations and write a design specification for future
development.
User interface simulation
- "Demonstrate" the product, how will it look and feel ?
