This week, I worked to build and test the people counter using the Raspberry Pi. First, I built a basic setup with the team to understand the voltage values given as outputs by the IR sensors for various distances. Next, I soldered the parts and assembled the circuits. Lastly, I wrote the code for the RPi, and tested the functionality of the counter. It appears to have worked, but its values need to be tuned for the gym. Beyond this, I also worked on implementing the new Weather API, as well as on the ethics assignment.
For the next week, I intend to test the people counter at the gym, and then set up to start data collection. Furthermore, I will get back to running the ML model using the new weather API that I found.
With these updates, I am on track with our schedule.
