I worked with Jana to successfully integrate the Raspberry Pi Camera into the web app using MJPEG streamer, as shown:
I also worked with Zara to implement MQTT for connections between the Raspberry Pi and the web app. We confirmed that the sensor data are sent to the web app periodically, which will be collected to later show a trend in the real-time dashboard.
I added a page in the web app for users to turn on/off the actuators. I wrote code for sending user’s command data to the Raspberry Pi using MQTT as well, but for some reason the RPi is not receiving the message – I will resolve this bug next week.
I’m currently slightly behind the schedule since I wasn’t able to fix a bug for MQTT, but will catch up next week.
Next week’s deliverables:
- fix the bug for sending data from the web app to RPi
- make sensor data reflect on the web app (by storing sensor data in MySQL and putting the stored data to the web app)
- work with Zara to integrate web scraped data (plant info) to the web app
- start working on auto-scheduling feature
