Mason’s Status Report for 2/18

This week I did two main programming tasks. I set up the Raspberry Pi with the RaspbianOS image, and managed to ssh into the device. Unfortunately I was not able to get the device registered onto the CMU network, so I currently can only use it at home. Second, I wrote the protocol to communicate between the server and the device. The actually content of the protocol is fairly simple, more effort went into researching ways to serialize the messages and send them over the internet. Fortunately, Rust has a very good crate called serde that allows me to write enums. My work can be seen in this PR. I also did some administrative work ordering parts and working on the Design Presentation slides.

This week I was supposed to define the protocol, which I did. Next week I will begin working on the mock server and device which will be used to build the test suites.
