Brick by Bit – Week 10 Blog Post

During week 10, our team has been focused on finalizing the prototype design for the PID event, as well as preparing our questions for the professionals we will be speaking with. We started splitting off into hardware and software teams, and have separate meetings for these aspects of the project. This marks a pivotal moment in our project lifecycle because it signifies that we are working more independently on different aspects of the project depending on our background and interests. Much of the previous weeks have been about planning and documentation, but the coming weeks will be more about implementation and hands-on development.

Something we accomplished this week was the instantiation of the cloud as well as deploying the Chirpstack LoraWAN network sever on the cloud. We also parsed the data from Chirpstack so that we can gather relevant details from the JSON file that has various fields about the node and chirpstack profile details. Therefore, we have a perfectly working demo for presentation purposes and have been working on gathering relevant questions about it.

As shown, we are soldering in order to work on different pcb and sensor designs for our product. We have been making additions to the supabase database and are planning on adding different headers to data depending on the type of sensor being added to the system. As of now, we just have simple temperature and humidity readings showing.

After all these findings and additions to our prototype, we feel more than ready to present our design and gather valuable feedback from various professionals. All we have to do before this prototype is review the relevant information that we should be communicating in order to make the most use of our time at this event.
