Week 5 Narrative
During week five, I researched which materials would be best for the next prototype, and possibly even the final product. While researching different housing options I found that while there were many options available to purchase, a housing that would be best suited for my groups particular needs would need to be designed specifically for this project- at that point in time I decided I would create the housing to be manufactured via 3D printing.

In regards to the lighting I utilized the website sparkfun, and located the LED's that would be used. For the sake of luminosity I went with the Yellow 'Super Bright' LED's, which offer a 10,000mcd output compared to a diffused yellow LED- which only offers between a 100-150mcd output. To help bolster the visibility of the 'arrows' of the turn signal, I decided to go with the 10mm LED's compared to the 5mm LED's that were readily available to my group. The larger LED's lend to the goal of having the turn signal be distinguishable from at least 10ft away.
