This week, I specifically worked on Solution Approaches and Testing, Verification, and Validation part in the design presentation. My team and I ordered different plants and additional components for the plant care, including soil and liquid nutrients. Our team also assembled the greenhouse together.
I designed a rough user interface, and currently have a partially working web app. Here’s the rough UI design (it’s high likely to change in the future):
I did more research about what specific AWS services to be used for data transmission between the web app and the microcontroller. For database, we were planning to use AWS dynamoDB, but after research I realized we could also use AWS IoT to connect dynamoDB with RaspberryPi.
I am currently on schedule.
Next Week’s Plan:
- Finish frontend and backend – have a working web app by the end of spring break
- Explore more about how data will be transmitted from/to the web app (AWS services, HTTP/MQTT)
