Week of January 27, 2017
- Brainstormed project ideas
- Our main focus was on a website that provides realtime updates about the availability of South 40 study rooms
- Held first meeting with our TA
- Began work on our proposal
Week of February 3, 2017
- Met with TA to finalize our project idea as well as work on some of its highlights
- Highlights that we decided we would like to include:
- User input ability, where students can publicize which subjects are being studied in specific study rooms
- The detection of room occupation via light sensor
- A history log of past room availabilities, so that students can make predictions for future study plans
- Finished writing the proposal as a team
Week of February 10, 2017
- Refined proposal
- Edited Gantt chart and budget
- Team decisions:
- Add both motion and sound detectors to the light sensor, all of which will be hooked up to our raspberry pi
- This will allow more accurate prediction on whether or not the room is occupied
- Add both motion and sound detectors to the light sensor, all of which will be hooked up to our raspberry pi
- Began learning how to code in python
- Began brainstorming design ideas for Raspberry Pi casing
- Official design must wait until materials arrive
Week of February 17, 2017
- Edited Gantt chart and budget
- Worked on recommendations from our TA about our proposal:
- Streamlined our objectives
- Continued python education
- Edited design for Raspberry Pi casing
- Still waiting on materials to be ordered and shipped
Week of February 24, 2017
- Heavy exam week for systems engineers
- Downloaded Google SketchUp for 3D printing design and began learning how it works
- Continued brainstorming ideas for raspberry pi casing
- Continued learning python
- Obtained our raspberry pi
Week of March 3, 2017
- Added a highlight to the BetaDelta website: users can now see a ranking of study rooms based on their probability of being available
- Discussed how the website will display information for each study room
- Light sensor: "on" or "off"
- Motion and sound sensor - will report most recent indication of activity
- Edited our budget:
- Included the specific website host for BetaDelta
- Got rid of the ethernet cord (using a wifi dongle instead)
