This week, Sophie and I made significant progress towards connecting the RPi to our web application. We connected the RPi to the CMU-Device wifi, which took more time than expected, but in the end allowed us to SSH to the RPi. In doing so, we were able to set up code to send requests to our web application, after some work from Sophie in deploying our web application through AWS.
I am on track for this week. For next week, Sophie and I will work on sending wait-time-like data from our RPi to our web application, integrating with the store-bought RFID reader. This will get us one step closer towards finalizing software-hardware connections and data collection code, which will allow us to soon integrate with our self-made RFID reader.
