    Creating a Gantt chart for the hardware design process of the Pundit pendant using Mermaid syntax involves outlining each phase of the project from the initial conception to the final prototype validation. Below is a Gantt chart that captures the crucial stages in the hardware design process of your project.
    This Gantt chart outlines a straightforward path for the hardware design of the Pundit pendant, starting from January 1, 2024, with the following key sections:
    • Conception: This phase includes initial research, ideation, and requirements specification. It's crucial for defining the project's scope and ensuring that all necessary functionalities and standards (like IP68 for weatherproofing) are addressed.
    • Design: It encompasses the preliminary design stage, component selection, schematic design, and PCB layout. This step turns the concept into a tangible design, focusing on integration of components like the microphone array, battery, and connectivity modules (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth).
    • Prototype: During this phase, the first tangible version of the product is created through fabrication and assembled for initial testing. This step is vital for identifying any major flaws before extensive testing.
    • Validation: Here, the prototype undergoes functional, environmental, compliance (RoHS, REACH), and user acceptance testing to ensure it meets all specified requirements, including the operating temperature range and the reliability target (MTBF of 10,000 hours).
    • Finalization: The last stage involves making any necessary revisions to the design based on testing feedback and then validating the final prototype to ensure it's ready for mass production.
    The timeline provides a structured approach to bringing the Pundit pendant from an idea to a validated prototype, ensuring each aspect of the hardware is meticulously designed and tested for the target market. Remember, actual project timelines can vary based on resource availability, technological challenges, and external factors such as supplier delays or unexpected findings during the testing phases.
