This week, I focused on the bring-up of the Blues module with the Raspberry Pi 5, as well as the setup and testing of the Blues Notehub system.
After successfully initializing the Blues Notecard chip on the Raspberry Pi 4, I migrated the setup to the Raspberry Pi 5. The migration was successful, and the chip was fully set up and operational on the new platform.
In parallel, I configured Blues Notehub, which serves as the cloud interface to receive and process requests sent from the Blues Notecard chip. I verified successful communication between the chip and Notehub by sending and receiving test requests.
Additionally, I collaborated with my team to integrate the request-sending flow. We successfully sent requests using a demo URL, confirming the proper functionality of the system pipeline. We also worked together to connect and send requests to our central server via the AWS API. While the request was sent, we encountered some errors during the process, which we plan to debug and resolve in the upcoming week.
Progress:
Overall, progress is on track after I have shifted my focus from the web app to assisting Vicky and Christine with dashcam and server implementation. We are having a little issue with integrating the Blues LTE service with communicating with the AWS server, but we believe we could fix this on time.
Schedule:
- Test GPS with Blues
- Test UPS HAT with uninterupting power supply
- Get Blues to be able to communicate with AWS
