Clock is Ticking

Continuing on from my previous post … we must now prepare everything for Expo Ingenierías. There’s even a possibility that some of us will have to be present more than 1 project, so there’s that. For our class, the final delivery for each of our projects will be a presentation of our project, in video format. A short, dynamic video where the means and end of our project are all clearly exposed. So, by this Friday we must have this ready. I’ll share it with all of you here as soon as this happens. Looking forward to it. Here’s a cookie for you, for reading this whole tiny post! yes... I bit it. Sorry. image obtained from http://foodanddrinkindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Cookie-with-bite1.jpg

Little Tweaks, Tiny Fixes

Hey, you. So, as you may have noticed from my previous posts, these past few weeks have been way calmer than usual for this project. We’re all still busy with all our other projects (that are not quite as done as this one), so out priorities have gotten in the way. That, and the fact that assistance to these past few classes has been optional. And, what did we do? Well, I know one of my teammates has been researching for ways to shelter our Raspberry so that it can properly work in a living plant settlement. Why? We’ve decided we want to present this project at Expo Ingenieras, an event where student projects of various areas of engineering are showcased for the general public. So we must now prepare everything for this event. Consider it Berry House’s first look at the world outside our classroom. image obtained from https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKc0TlRDQDKMnbXtRcrC0vXWwHDlJNkhazPrHNcmTTa3-TDHLQXA2v-wHn-kU6-yuUAlONdkvwg7rJPPFd1gOgXN

The Sequel to the Trilogy

Hey, you. Hola. Hallo. Bonjour. Do you want to know what our plans for this week are? Awesome, that’s what I was just going to talk about! Otherwise, no reason for you to keep reading (please do). As I mentioned in my previous post, there’s not much left to do. But that certainly doesn’t make the things we still have left to do less important. What’s on MY plate, you say? Well, I’ll look at ways for dealing with SSL certificates like the one we have right now, so that our Raspberry can continue to send data to our infrastructure without any issues. I’ll also continue to look out for issues with the current graphs we’re now showing to the user in the web client, as well as updating our tests and documentation. That is, until something else comes up during the week that might also need to be done. We’ll see. That’s all I got for you right now. You may go outside and enjoy some sun now. Or just go to bed if it’s dark. You’ll thank me later. And of course, here’s a

1, 2, 3... Another 100m Sprint

So… last week. What happened? Our 3rd sprint review. And, everything turned out well. As we get close to wrapping up our project, we continue having less and less things left to do, other than better implementations, bugs and general improvements. But the main structure and purpose of it all is mostly done at this point. In this sprint retrospective, we talked about our latest updates on the web client, with graphs shown to the user for each of the parameters measured through time. Also, the data sent from the Raspberry Pi to our sensors platform can now be done through HTTPS, so security is looking a little better now. We still have to make some adjustments, given that for now we are signing this SSL certificate ourselves. And that’s mostly it. The waters are mostly calm now, and we’ll have to continue dialoguing about what we still need to do from here on and and what’s really just a “nice to have”. So yeah. Watch out for more posts. There aren’t that many left, I
