Production Unit Development Overview

This is a document recording notes for the path to creating a working production unit.

Hardware

  • Get SIM5320A GPRS/GPS working
    • Need to automatically start and connect on boot
    • Need to confirm GPRS antennae and GPS antennae work inside or at other positions in housing
    • GPRS needs to have some pin tied for automatic power on (potentially rpi controlled)
  • Connect/stack SIM5320A in line with screen
    • make sure screen and serial have no physical pin conflicts
  • Make breakout board for power connector
  • Find solution for speaker amplifier
  • Need to figure out case. Stop-gap of retrofitting to current case
    • New case need only to attach to the four screw configuration already in place for DIU bottom plate
  • Look into brighter screen

Software

  • Add 'quick dim' feature to screen
    • Screensaver will light back up on press
  • Better screen diagnostics
  • Debug/testing of driver interface
