Week of January 27, 2017

  • Brainstormed project ideas
  1. 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
  1. Highlights that we decided we would like to include:
    1. User input ability, where students can publicize which subjects are being studied in specific study rooms
    2. The detection of room occupation via light sensor
    3. 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
  • 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 (includes all three team members)
  • 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)
