Week Report - Week 4 - Progress!

On Tuesday we finally made some progress with the Raspberry Pi and the sensors, as we got some readings from the sensors! Next, we need to decide how to store the data, and more importantly how to get it transferred over the internet. We still have some problems with the cellular connection, as we can’t get the connection working. We think there might be a problem with the data subscription, but we need to investigate that further.

Thursday we had a PO meeting, which was also attended by some representatives from the city of Turku. We will have another blog post going slightly more in depth on the details of the meeting, but in short, the city of Turku has a similar project to that of ours, and we will be comparing results and other differences between our sensors and theirs.

On Friday’s meeting we discussed the PO meeting, and how we should move on from here. Unfortunately, Matti was sick and since he had the Pi and the sensors, we couldn’t do much practical work. We did review some of the code we used to get the sensors working and created a GitHub repository for working on the code.

This week we also got a brand-new team member, Anastasiia! It’s hard to bring in new people when the project has already been going on for a while, but we did our best to get her up to date with all the stuff we’ve been doing and added her to all of our workspaces.
