Work Accomplished:
This week, I finished attaching the portable power bank to the device, allowing for a constant power supply during a shopping experience. I also bought the shopping cart clip on, which I will pick up next week and attach to the device. I have been working on making the rasberry pi start up the barcode scanning script automatically and read in barcodes. However, I have ran into many obstacles with this task.
Progress Status:
Due to the obstacle with making the rasberry pi start reading barcode scans automatically, I am a bit behind on this particular aspect of the project. However, making the device portable is my last major task and I have contacted my TA to try new ways to achieve it.
Next Week’s Goal:
- attach clip-on device
- fix rasberry pi barcode scanning issues
- test in-person
