While most of our work was still individual, starting last week, we started to combine our components little by little.
Last week, Hiroko and Kanon worked together to connect ESP32 to AWS components. We are now able to send data from ESP32 by AWS Lambda functions, store the data within AWS DynamoDB, fetch the data and print them on website, and send back data to ESP32 using curl command via our backend.
Hiroko also worked on setting up the hardware devices by soldering them. She also got a relay controlled outlet box to improve our design aesthetic and also user safety. She is now working on connecting sensors properly and calibrate those values.
Sarah had a difficult time because her Raspberry Pi broke last week. However, by borrowing her friend’s RPi, she was able to continue working. She can now show the 24/7 live stream directly on the website frontend. She also tested some openCV functions on real plants and completed the growth stage classifier.
Because there was some unexpected problem such as RPi breaking, we are glad that we made a week of slack within our schedule. There will be no change on the update for our schedule, and we will be still working individually next week to refine each of our components.
