 =====LPC1758 SJSU One Development Board=====
 The SJSU One Development Board serves as the management system behind the functionality of the Tracker device. The utilization of the hardware (primarily UART interfaces) along with the strengths of FreeRTOS for task scheduling capabilities provide for a solid foundation for the Tracker's proposed features. The SJSU One Board is intergrated with Bluetooth, LCD, and GPS peripheral devices. Power is supplied to the peripheral devices by the SJSU One Board. The Bluetooth module TX and RX are interfaced with the SJSU One Board's UART3 for command issuance/execution and data parsing capabilities. The LCD and GPS modules are interfaced with UART2 of the SJSU One Board in order for appropriate display output and Google Map functionality integration, respectively.

-!Power Supplies
+=====Power Supplies=====
 The Tracker device is powered by a 9V battery circuit with a micro rocker switch, which in-turn indirectly power the Tracker's peripheral devices through the SJSU One Board. The Tile module is powered by a 3.6V 24.5mm coin cell battery inline with a slider switch (to maximize battery life during development and testing) which is connected to a Bluetooth module.
-!Bluetooth Mate/BlueSMiRF Gold
+=====Bluetooth Mate/BlueSMiRF Gold=====
 The Bluetooth module is interfaced to UART 3 for the Tracker system and provides for communications between the user and the Bluetooth module. In detail, it allows for the user commands to be input through the push-buttons and the corresponding software serially communicates the appropriate commands and actions to the Bluetooth module. The Bluetooth module within the Tile device is simply powered by a battery and only communicates to other devices (i.e. Tracker) through the Bluetooth protocol. The Bluetooth module in the Tracker utilizes Bluetooth to communicate with all potential Tiles and Bluetooth devices wirelessly through the Bluetooth protocol, but provides serial I/O to the SJSU One Board via UART.
-!Serial Enabled 16x2 LCD
+=====Serial Enabled 16x2 LCD=====
 The LCD module is interfaced to UART2 TX on the SJSU One Board in order to provide the user a menu-based interface to select certain actions for the Tracker to deploy and for feedback/stored information. The LCD in conjunction with the on-board push-buttons allow for the user to fully realize Tracker features (i.e. Add, Remove, Track, and List Tiles, among other functionality.
-!Venus GPS Logger with SMA Connector
+=====Venus GPS Logger with SMA Connector=====
 The GPS module is interfaced with UART2 RX on the SJSU One Board in order to provide location based data information the the SJSU One Board whenever a signal is available (used in conjunction with the Antenna GPS Embedded SMA). The GPS contains data-logging capabilities and can store to the Micro SD Flash Memory Card whenever the (via application code) whenever signal is established. The data can then be used from the memory card to view locations in Google Maps.

 [http://inburst.io/bluetooth-rssi-to-actual-distance/ Bluetooth to RSSI Actual Distance] - One part of this project was to convert RSSI values into a histogram which accurately represented distance. There are many formulas to do so, but even with the additional computation the precision of the distance was low. This blog post demonstrated that RSSI values can be measured and can be converted to a rough estimate. After reading this blog post we conducted our own RSSI-to-Distance measurements using our own hardware; with that data we were able to generate a histogram with reduced computation and acceptable precision.

-Ultimately, we were able to successfully develop a functioning prototype that is comparable to competitive products available on the market today. There were many lessons learned over the course of the project. Some lessons were regarding infrastructure, others regarding operating system topics, and some in manufacturing techniques. Give an opportunity to do the project again, there are many things we would do differently regarding design and implementation. However, overall we are very happy with the results of our project as it is currently passing all test cases.
