Andy’s Status Report for 3/15

his week, I focused on planning power testing, discussing the web application, and beginning the Blues module bring-up by testing it on the RPi4.

To ensure a stable power supply for the RPi5, I developed a power testing plan. I researched various Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) HATs compatible with the RPi5 and placed an order. While waiting for delivery, I started planning the circuit testing process to ensure the module functions correctly and continues supplying power even when its main power source is turned off.

On the software side, I discussed with my team and Tamal the idea of not implementing a web portal but instead opting for a flexible and easier-to-implement API for user interaction.

Additionally, I began bringing up the Blues module, starting with initial tests on the RPi4 to verify communication and connectivity. I booted up the RPi4 and started integrating the Blues cellular chip with it.

Progress:

Overall, progress is on track. I have shifted my focus from the web app to assisting Vicky and Christine with dashcam and server implementation.

Schedule:

•Test the UPS module (if it arrives)

•Bring up the Blues module and test GPS

•Test uploading and receiving data from the server using the Blues chip on the RPi
