		+	Testing was done incrementally, testing each stage and step. We first interfaced the IR sensors first, testing it was done by blocking the signal to check for delivered mail. Secondly, wireless transfer was verified by testing if the received bytes were equal to the sent bytes. We were able to test up to an impressive range of 20 feet with wireless transfer still fully functioning. Thirdly, testing Bluetooth took by far the most time. After many days and weeks of testing, we were confirmed what we didn't want to hear - that it was not possible to interface the HC-06 bluetooth module with iOS. At that point, we chose to still work on our project for Android. We opted to use a Bluetooth Terminal to verify the validity of our Bluetooth transfer. After putting all the peripherals and assembling everything together, we were able to test NotifyBox as a whole system by inserting "mail" (in our case, a piece of cardboard) into the mailbox. The SJOne board recognizes there's mail via the IR sensor. At once, the SJOne board will send data to a different SJOne board wirelessly. Once that board receives the data, that same data will be sent via Bluetooth to our phone using a Bluetooth Terminal App. Our project was completed and verified to work; a live demo can be seen below in the project video section.

 For our project, we used the IR Beam sensor to detect if the link is active or if there is a break/interference in the infrared connect between the emitter and receiver. When mail has been delivered, the infrared link will be broken, thus changing the state of the GPIO pin to true.
