This week was spent getting the NodeMCU to communicate with the web server by sending a JSON via a POST Request. We successfully got this working earlier today; The work on my end accomplished was: registering the NodeMCU’s MAC Address on CMU-DEVICE so it can communicate with our webserver (this required writing simple arduino code to get the NodeMCU’s MAC Address), in addition to finalizing the code that sends the POST request to the webserver.
I would say our progress in on schedule for the interim demo; Our team will meet tomorrow to finalize our progress for the interim demo, we will also look into implementing communication via sockets for the interim demo. Overall I am confident in our team’s ability to be ready to present on Monday.
Next week will be spent improving our current framework from the interim demo. If the IR Sensor has not yet been integrated into the project by the time of the demo we will start work on that next week.
