Week of February 12, 2018

  • Billy and Ezra worked on putting together the power point for our project proposal presentation for about an hour.
  • For the coming week, we plan to get started with making the Raspberry pi do some things as suggested by the instructor.
  • Young downloaded raspbian onto the sd card and booted the pi. Had challenges along the way as the raspbian stretch lite download was not working. Tried to use that download method twice. Switch to use the NOOBS download and worked. Tried to set up the ip emailing from a remote desktop to connect to the pi. Code kept failing when creating the /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf document as the pi would not let me save. Also pi would not let me turnoff Sendmail. Worked for about 2 hrs 30 min
  • We had meeting on Tuesday 2/13 for about one and a half hours
  • We divided responsibilities among ourselves, finalized the Gantt chart and the budget.
  • Young continued to work on setting up the Raspberry pi without success. He tried the method from the tutorial again which did not work again. Tried a method using python code and did not work either.
  • Billy and Ezra worked on finishing the powerpoint for the project proposal presentation.
