Key contributions included
I fixed the wiring documentation so the hardware setup is clearer, safer, and easier to follow during bring-up. That should make it much easier for the team to avoid bad connections when we start flashing and testing devices.
I also fixed the connections between the database and MQTT so the backend services communicate more reliably. That work was important for making sure the system behaves correctly before more live hardware is introduced.
Another part of my work was setting up the config and env files on my local repo clone in preparation for firmware setup and flashing. That helped get the development environment into a ready state for the next phase of testing.
I also ran extensive checks to make sure the system is working properly and to reduce the risk of damaging any components during testing. The goal was to catch issues early and make the transition into hardware validation as safe as possible.
Is your progress on schedule or behind?
On schedule for this phase. The wiring documentation has been improved, the database and MQTT integration issues have been addressed, and the local environment is now prepared for firmware setup and flashing. The validation work also puts us in a much safer position before moving further into hardware testing.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
I hope to complete the firmware flashing setup and begin testing on actual hardware. I also want to verify end-to-end communication between the firmware, MQTT, and the backend after the recent integration fixes.
In addition, I want to use the updated wiring documentation during bring-up to confirm that the documented connections match the real hardware setup. After that, I plan to finish another round of validation checks so the team can move into hardware testing with more confidence and less risk.
