This week was mostly spent working on the Design Report. This assignment ended up being a much larger task than our team anticipated for; As such most of our time this week was spent working on said Design Report. I also planned on starting the NodeMCU development, however since the parts arrived very late into the week I was unable to start development before the start of Spring Break.
I would say my progress is currently still behind schedule. The NodeMCU arriving so late into the week definitely contributed to this, as did the Design Report taking a significant amount of our time.
Next week it is critical that development for the NodeMCU begins, getting a simple prototype working shouldn’t take too long, after that is completed I will immediately get to work on developing the code to be used in our system.
After establishing our set of sub-systems for our design report, we realized using a Raspberry Pi to host our web server may not be ideal for our project. To account for this we shifted our project to use an EC2 Instance instead of a Raspberry Pi.
