===== Design Choices ===== | ===== Design Choices ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Processor ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Using the KISS design principle, we decided early on to use a Computer on a Module for our main processor. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Input / Output Methods ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | It was known right from the start that an LCD module would be used to display any sensor data. But, what was not known was what input methods would be used for a user to interact with the User Interface of the Tricorder. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Casing ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In choosing the material for our case, we wanted something durable, light weight, not expensive, be easy to obtain and be malleable enough so that it could be designed by a variety of methods. | ||
