Video Update

The Legacy Helmet demo has been uploaded on YouTube. The demo is short and concise, it is a replication on how football athletes receive hits.

Re scoping the project

The Legacy Team came to the conclusion that it is best to re scope the project. Because of difficulties with the TI Exosite and the CC3100, the helmet prototype will be presented in its Ethernet state.

TI Exosite Trouble

The team discovered that the Exosite does not support the CC3100. This is an obstacle because it limits the capability to make the project Wi-Fi compatible. Further research will be done to find out a way around this problem. Failure in doing so might result in re scoping the project on a small scale.

Acceleration data complete

The launchpad can now read acceleration data and the next step is to graph the data.
