This week I spent my time working on the phone application. I have made some progress, however not as much as I would have liked, due to Swift development being much different to other forms of app development I have done prior. The early stages of the week I spent researching Swift as I have no iOS app development experience. I spent a lot of time watching videos and looking at StackOverflow to learn the basic functionalities. Prior to working, I planned to finish the home and upload page of the app by the end of this week and I was able to do the home page, however I did not complete the upload page. I implemented a sliding home page with three pages of images, titles, and labels. The page includes the functionality of the app and some tips in regards to uploading a circuit. In addition, I have implemented a skip button that leads to a new page. The functionality of the page has not been implemented, however it will lead to the upload page, where the user will upload their hand-drawn circuit. I plan to work on the phone application during fall break and make progress to being able to run the simulator after uploading the image. Currently I am a little bit behind on work. As the report is due this week as well as other class commitments, I will not be able to work on the project until after Friday. However, I plan to spend time during the break to catch back up on work and make the phone application more functional as the computer vision portion of the project has made great advancements. This means I must research how to allow the phone application to interact with the circuit simulator and the computer vision model. Thus, my goals before returning back from fall break include finishing the upload page and start implementing the backend functionality of the app.
