Progress
Dianne and I worked on integration.py (work can be found on the team repository) that essentially integrated the LAOE algorithm and the User Position Extraction. It’s mostly just taking the work I did last week and calling Dianne’s LAOE functions. Actually, in the process of integration, I realized that some of my math from last week was incorrect, and had to edit my calculations. There were also some other minor changes, like turning the testsuncalc.py file into a module with get_suncalc(). Some other issues this week included merge conflicts. I set up the Raspberry Pi by inserting the microSD, putting on the heatsinks, attaching the fan, and putting it in its case, however I didn’t realize that to interact with the Pi, I would have to have some kind of monitor. Jeff has a monitor, so next time we are both available, I will try working with the Pi in his room.
Schedule
So far my progress is roughly on schedule.
Next Steps
Next week, I hope to upload the software end of things into the Raspberry Pi, and see if it works. I will also work on connecting the Raspberry Pi and the Arduino (likely with Jeff).
