This week, Iris and I got together to install the WiFi module in the Jetson Nano. We also noticed that we’re missing the microSD card, which is required to install Linux on the Nano, so we placed a new order. Once the card arrives, we can continue to install necessary modules in the Nano for IoT and face/mask detection.
I did more research on Azure IoT Edge and IoT Hub products. Installing Edge on Nano will be pretty simple, and I’ll be able to configure it to be used as an Edge device. For IoT Hub, I will register the Nano as a connected Edge device. All of this can be easily done once the SD card arrives.
We spent most of this week working on the Design Review. We had to make more detailed design choices for the software stack, and it was helpful to have a detailed implementation before moving forward in the project. We also figured out the logic flow of the Nano once it receives inputs from the RFID scanner, the IR sensor, and the RGB camera. Next week, Iris and I will work to configure the Nano to receive inputs from all three sources and also register as an edge device on IoT Hub to open the Cloud Gateway.
