This week, I focused a lot on the software backend logic and getting the skeleton set up for that. I was able to set up fastAPI and incorporate the logic we needed to communicate with the esp32 microcontroller so that integration can begin next week. I also developed a test script to ensure it was working properly so that we were able to fill our firebase database with dummy data.
Once the database had enough data with the proper fields we wanted in it, I started working more on the frontend and connecting our React Native app with firebase to display the items in the database.
The progress is currently on schedule.
In the next week, I hope to start integration with the hardware so that data from the esp32 microcontroller works with fastAPI in order to populate the database, and fastAPI can notify the esp32 when to change the LED colors.
