This week, I continued to work on the GPS transponder and debugging the hardware connections. We initially got it to work when connected to the RPi, but we needed to have it connect to the Notehub that is on top of the RPi. I did further web app for the entire pipeline by doing field tests with our dashcam and seeing if it shows up in our DB and our web app. I am also working with the team to complete the final presentation slides/information. The progress is on schedule and we are currently in the final phase of our project. In the next week, we hope to finalize the box of our dashcam and then start working on final demo materials.
Some new tools that I got familiar with was Google Firebase, Google Cloud Run Functions, Notecard, RPi, and GPS transponders. Some new knowledge that I have learned implementing this product is to check official documentation of hardware since that was the main point of challenge for me. The learning strategy that I gained doing this project is to learn while implementing. This allowed me to learn what I did wrong and what I needed to fix to do it right.
