  2. Ethical Concerns • Harsh temperature conditions • Atom board rated for 0-60 C • Purchase more rugged version of board • Harsh physical conditions (bumpy terrain etc) • External cable connections and internal PCB connections could become loose • Make system a more “integrated” part of the golf cart to reduce number of cable connection points • SD card system reliability • System “guesses” that there is no SD card in slot when initialization fails. (No way to differentiate no SD card and bad SD card) • Utilize card detect pin to tell if there is a card inserted

  3. Ethical Concerns (cont’d) • System fails to warn user of dangerous conditions • User would not know to take reactionary measures • Use mechanical fail-safes (e.g. pressure valve)

  4. Environmental Issues • Project is unnecessarily wasteful from a materials standpoint • PCB is larger than it needs to be • Could maybe even do without a PCB at all and just use Atom board • Extra 36V lead acid battery needed due to change in research project plans • Decisions made implementation simpler and made project suitable for ECE477 • For mass-manufacture, just use Atom board with SD card reader with a tiny PCB • Tiny PCB will just contain 12-5V regulator and some ATD chips
