This week I was working on setting up the raspberry pi for more streamlined work. This mainly consisted of determining the OS, headless or GUI, and general design goals. I also put in the order for the raspberry pi from ECE inventory and the camera module from adafruit, specifying that it should be the 75 degree No IR filter variant. While not ordered yet, research went into ways that a raspberry pi can acquire GPS data. After ordering there was pickup, and sourcing an HDMI to mini HDMI cable.
Next week will be actually hacking the code together, and while I don’t think the raspberry pi portion of the code will reach MVP, there should be significant progress in data input, and transmission. The data server still hasn’t been designed as of yet, it is scheduled for tomorrow’s group meeting where we work on finishing the design presentation slides.
I am progressing on schedule, and my deliverable for next week is a github repo with a partially coded raspberry pi. The camera should arrive next week as well.
