This week I worked on the backend portion of the web app. I started by creating a server.js file and writing in code that starts and runs the server. I also wrote code to request data from the json payload, fetches and parses the data into the structure that I want it to be in. A lot of the time that I spent working this week was spent on researching and learning more about backend code, and how to connect it to the jetson. While I didn’t have the jetson available for me to use this weekend, I have written some baseline code that should work for recieving http requests and sending json messages.
I think that I am slightly behind still on my schedule. Ideally, I would have had the jetson and web app connection set up by the end of this week, but since that wasn’t possible I spent my time working on the front end of the app instead.
In the upcoming week, I hope to have successfully sent http requests to the jetson and recieved the json responses successfully. I also want to have one fully working front end by the time of the interim demo.
