Group: After our meeting on Monday, we met as a group to discuss the feedback we have received and what we will do to fix some of the issues present in our design report. We have agreed on the graphs that will appear on the user interface, creating an overall plant health calculations (calculated by using different indices weights), the various indices over time, temperature, and humidity scores. On the hardware side we have started developing the indices scripts, finished the hardware, and our waiting on the components to start assembly. We are also planning on visiting a farm next Friday (2/20) to see what kind of vines we will be working on.
Ines: This week, I finalized the 3D design for the device case and discussed with Sanjana about how to deal with various environmental concerns we have. We’ve decided to use a transparent plexiglass for on side of the box that will be able to slide right in our 3D printed box. The case will also have an opening at the bottom for the charging port. We will also seal the plexiglass to the case using some kind of glue (might end up using a hot glue bun) o make sure no water can come inside. Additionally, our components are starting to arrive. Sanjana and I will then be able to start assembly next week and begin collecting data of our sensors. This week and next week is also being used to start writing scripts for index calculations.

This week, I implemented the full frontend design of the system interface. Based on the feedback we received last week, I met with the group to discuss improvements and updated the display layout for the different plant health indices. I also worked on adjusting how the indices will be shown on the interface so that users can easily view overall plant health, individual index values over time, and environmental data such as temperature and humidity.
