This week I worked on refining the web-app and hosting it on a domain, debugging the web-app to solenoid pipeline, and starting the arduino code for the stepper motors.
Joshna and I visited the LAMP Library on Tuesday to get some user feedback for the webapp. Overall, the participants were happy with the design/layout of the web-app and were able to navigate it with ease. They suggested some small tweaks which I am currently implementing. I also worked with Joshna to debug some issues in the web-app to solenoid pipeline when communicating with the arduino using the RPi. We had some issues with how the signals were being sent to the arduino and we worked to debug that. We now have a fully working webapp to solenoid pipeline. Our next step is include the stepper motors into this pipeline. I have begun writing the arduino code for the stepper motors. My goal is to have this complete before Thanksgiving to give to Becky to work with for the electromechanical system.
