Team Status Report for 3/26

This week each one of us was focused on starting the integration process, as per our gantt chart. The ethics discussion on Monday was also helpful because we received constructive feedback from other teams in the A section who did not know much about our project from the beginning of the semester. One of the teams mentioned how our sensors could be misused, not only by a temporary object (like a pigeon) but by humans that would like to claim their spots/show them as blocked on our app (similar to the “Pittsburgh chair”). Our integrations involve 1) persisting wifi connections on site to upload from the sensors to dynamoDB 2). Running continuous db query jobs in containers to serve our web app request. We have checked that our ESP8266 power/wi-fi connections and AWS lightsail respectively can allow us to run continuous programs performing these tasks. If everything goes according to plan, we should be able to do the final integration of all three subsystems before the interim demo.
