This week, I worked a lot on finishing up the design of our project and learning the details of the hardware, software, and integration between them. I gave the presentation for our design proposal so I needed to prepare heavily by practicing the presentation and learning the in’s and out’s of the project design in order to answer questions that people might have.
I also started setting up the frameworks and software needed for the backend and web app of our project. I set up the database tables and what information we need to store using Supa Base (open source version of Firebase) and researched different ways to integrate it into our frontend and to our ESP32 microcontroller.
Our progress is currently on schedule, we plan to finish up rapid prototyping by testing basic functionality using parts found around campus.
I also hope to finish up setup for all the software components and look to figure out the integration with the MCU. In addition, we have our project design proposal paper due so I hope to do a lot of work and research on that.
