Initial Requirements
Use off-the shelf components to construct a device for measuring
how powerful an athlete is. Transmit data to a smartphone for
storing and displaying results

Measurements include, but are not limited to:

1. How fast a person can move weight a given distance
2. How much acceleration a person can impart to a given weight
3. Compare users and track progress
4. How much jerk a person can impart to a given weight

Projected customers
Other devices on market
Strength - How much weight a person can lift
vs.
Power - How fast a person can lift a given weight
Explosive strength training
Common sports and exercises
Usefulness of jerk to athletics

Surveys
Seven trainers in the Tallahassee area, average of 10 years experience
3 from Premier Health and Fitness
2 from Atlas Fit
2 from Florida A&M University
Common feedback:
A power measurement device would be useful to track their clients progress &
overall health
Jerk is not a significant measurement for athletics
Common power measuring exercises: bench press, deadlift, and squat

Re-Evaluation of Part Selection

Midterm I Decision Cons
Risk analysis had not been performed
Next Step = Part Ordering
Limited knowledge on selected parts

Outsource Circuit Board Learning curve for EagleCAD is not in our favor

Get assistance generating Unsure of compatibility of previously selected components

code for device Limited team experience buying and syncing electrical parts
