Plans for Week 7

Personal plans for this week… create a system with which the plant will periodically tweet updates on
its condition, update our sensors platform documentation and work on some ideas for automating even
more the platform so that its setup and deployment is as painless as possible.
More posts to come! until then, here’s a cool “twitter bot” I found:

Little Tweaks, Tiny Fixes

Imagen
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...

Time Flies

Hey there, again. So, 4 weeks have gone by already… time does fly. Also, now partials are here, but let’s not talk about that now. Or just as Michael Altshuler says, “ The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot. ” image obtained from https://akatandamouse.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/time-flies.jpg?w=354&h=266 And with that being said… looking back at week 4, it was a pretty calm week. It turns out I did some research into what has to be done so that the signals sent from the Raspberry reach out Broker with the HTTPS protocol, and I’m pretty sure I’ve found a way. But, this HTTPS protocol must also be enabled on our server, on a separate port. So, I’m going to have to hold on to that idea until actual support for it is added on our server. Other than that, I did some more research into incorporating more sensors to the platform, and it seems that we can use a “humiture” sensor, which measures both humidity and temperature. 2 sensors in on...

Full Stack

As hard as it may be to believe, it’s not Semana Santa yet… even though this past long weekend almost made it feel that way. Though in my particular case, not so much. We led the organization for the CodeGDL hackathon, which happened from Saturday to Sunday. So as you may imagine, my time was mostly consumed by it. And don’t get me wrong, it was an awesome experience, it all turned out great. Aaand before that, we had a full week for working on this project. What did we accomplish? Well, our whole pipeline was fully tested to handle the 3 values from our sensors platform: temperature, humidity and light. This, as well as the components for registering a new plant from our web platform. Also, some little changes were also made so that the automatic tweets from our sensors platform are a bit more human-sounding. And that was mostly it. Our 3rd sprint review was postponed until next class because the room(s) we usually have class in were not available. Stay put for m...
