Sprint review/planning

We had our sprint review and planning on Friday 14.2. Below are the main pointers. Overall, we feel like the project advanced nicely this sprint, and we got some important work done.

Tasks we got done in the last sprint:

• Poster done
• NB-IoT connection working
• Raspberry code almost done
• Machine learning code close to done
• Started working on the server

Tasks we need to work on the next sprint:

• Pi to server connection needs to be done
• MongoDB needs to be established on the server
• Some test results from the sensors to test machine learning
• Attend ICT-Showroom

Jan will continue as our scrum master for this sprint.

Week Report – Week 7 – Server connection

Tuesday 11.2:

On Tuesday we didn’t have much to do as a group, since we were waiting to get a response from Tommi regarding some questions we had about the server. Because of this we thought it would be best for us to have the sprint review/planning on Friday, when we know more about the server and what we need to do next.

Friday 14.2:

On Friday we finally had the answers we needed regarding the server, and we could get on with working on the connection and database. We also had the sprint planning/review, which we will be covering in another blog post. Ife and Anastasiaa showed the group the poster they made for ICT Showroom, which is pretty much ready to go. Finally, we updated our Trello board to match the sprint planning/review.

Happy holidays!

Week Report – Week 6 – Posters!

Tuesday 4.2.

On Tuesday we started with a lecture on posters, since we need to make a poster for ICT ShowRoom. Anastasiia and Ife also went to the poster workshop after the lecture to get our poster started. While most of were attending the lecture, Matti and Jan were meeting with Tommi about the server details. When we met after the lecture, they briefed us on the meeting, and shared some tasks which we need to do next to get the server connection up and running. These tasks included for example registering a free domain, getting an SSL certificate and proxy, and deciding on the database we are going to use on the server.

Friday 7.2.

On Friday we mostly researched the tasks we were given on Tuesday. Ife got us a domain and we decided that we will use NGINX for our SSL proxy and MongoDB for our database. The implementation of these will require some more research and we need to get answers to a few more questions from Tommi, but the process seems to be moving along nicely!

Introduction — Anastasiia Pepoeva

   Hello, my name is Anastasiia and I am 19 years old. I am from Russia, and yes, I am an exchange student.

   At my home university, I am studying in the direction of information security at SUAI in St. Petersburg. However, here I chose the direction of game development. Do not ask me why I chose this.

   I have little experience in coding in C and C++. Now I'm teaching Java so that I can pass the exams at home.

   I love to play the piano and sing. I very often listen to music and sing along to it. I think many people consider me crazy. I also like to read, draw and watch the series.

   I believe that participation in such events (Capstone project) helps to upgrade your English skills, teaches us to work in a team. Well, of course, this is an experience. And any experience is very important for us, both bad and good.

   P.S. Sorry, this photo was taken in 2016, but I think I have not really changed.

Week Report - Week 5

Tuesday 28.1.

On Tuesday, we focused on doing some of the group tasks we had missed the previous week. We also worked on the Raspberry, and wrote some code to get the temperature, humidity and CO2 readings to a JSON-file, which we can later use to send the data over to the server.

Friday 31.1.

On Friday we didn’t have any group tasks to do, so we were able to fully focus on the Raspberry. Matti had gotten a response regarding the connection of our Raspberry, and we finally got it working! So now, basically everything on the Raspberry’s side is done, except for the code we need to communicate with our server. Matti set up a meeting with our “assistant PO” Tommi, who also worked on the last year’s project, to discuss how exactly should we go on from here, and to get the details of the server we are working with. Lastly, we used some time to look at the last year’s groups code and tried figure out if there is anything that we can use, but it looks like we might need to do everything from scratch.
