This week, as my other teammates have, I worked on making a proposal presentation slides and did some research about receiving/ sending data between arduino and a website using wifi. There are already many similar projects to ours so I went through their projects and saw what kind of difficulties they had and how they overcame them so that if we face a similar issue, it would be much easier to deal with it. From looking at these sources, it seems like using arduino and ESP with AWS DynamoDB is a good idea to receive/send data between hardware and software.
I’ve also thought about some basic web designs that can be used for our application but I would like to dive deeper into this because our web application should be really intuitive to use, and I want to keep it as concise as possible.
Next week, I will start working on coding the basic structure of the web application (HTML + CSS) and research about how I should set up DynamoDB and link that to our backend (JS / Django).
