Concerns/Issues• Difficulty integrating processor and GSM module
– Solution: attempt to connect to the GSM module and send test commands
• May not get complete solar panel components from client– Solution: work with client to expedite receipt of
parts• Budget out of control
– Solution: get funding from Portland Bureau of Transportation or borrow parts
