These last two weeks our project saw significant progress in preparation for the final round of deliverables and demonstrations. On the hardware and circuits side of things, we were able to pick up on our segmented progress and create mobile and compact sensor modules. The mounting mechanism and position is proving to be challenge so this will have to be dealt with so that it does not become a limitation for our system.
Having said this, we were able to fine tune and program our NodeMcu so that it could bridge the communication between sensor and web-app successfully. At the moment, we have 4 fully functioning modules and a web-app that has incorporated features like an admin page to ease the setup process and customizability of the system. So, on the integration front, we seem to have everything working. Thus, the remaining work to be done is mostly aesthetic and consists of polishing and refining our overall product.
For next week, we must conduct more testing with the sensor modules, determine if refinements to the NodeMcu code are necessary and implement them, polish the front-end of the web-app, ensure the back-end works as intended, and develop a demo plan for the week after our presentations.
