not a lot of concrete things to say here. Just doing some final preparations and last things to do for the final public demo. I’m excited to be done with this class forever 🙂

This week, the entire team was in full build mode for the in class demo. I worked primarily with the control of the main hub using the raspberry pi as well as with David to help complete the work of the RF communication between devices. In addition, we have worked Read more…

The majority of my progress for this week was working with the team for the in lab demo. I reconfigured the data upload software to work with multiple serial streams at once from the raspberry pi. The team should be in decent shape to demo a MVP on Monday.

Sorry for the delay on this post, but this past week has been a busy one for me outside the scope of this class. Ass for project updates, we’re currently in the phase of the project where testing and verification is our main focus as we our confident in the Read more…

This week I worked on the RF redesign of the wireless communication for the sensor system interaction. Since the parts came later than we would have hoped for I’m not 100% happy with the progress I’ve made at the time of writing this report but am confident the system will Read more…

For this week, as per the schedule I was working on interfacing with the RFID reader and the Farsens tags. After some extremely tedious time trying (and finally successfully) getting the ThingMagic API working on the Rasperry Pi, I was not able to interface with the RFID reader to read Read more…

In the week following  Spring break I was responsible for hooking up the RFID reader and getting some preliminary results using the battery free sensing technologies. Using the Mercury API to read the state of the battery free sensor, I created software to monitor and log the state to a Read more…

James Gualtieri Team B1 Individual status report For the week of 2/25, much of my individual work revolved around preparing the software necessary to communicate with the RFID reader. Although not yet arrived to us in shipping, I have worked in creating a set of functions necessary for the functionality Read more…
