This week, i completed building the people counter, and worked to set it up at the gym. We first worked to set up the circuit for the counter, after which I spent some time finalizing the code for the counter to make it more accurate and less susceptible to not detecting people. This also included testing and modifying certain parameters for the sensors. After this, I worked with the team to have the counter set up at the gym, along with have a tmux session to SSH into to constantly run and monitor the code.
For the next week, I intend to get back to working on the ML model using the new weather API that I was able to find. I also want to work on building a system to collect occupancy data from the EC2 instance. Finally, I will work on the interim demo.
With these updates, I am on track with our schedule.
