Today, I built my EC meter out of an electrical cord, as described in the guide that I have linked to previously. Because the shape and spacing of el...
Today, I re-enabled the sensor system, though I did not have time to find the IP address. It didn't give its name ("raspberry pi" or somesuch) to my ...
Today, we went over our goals for Quarter 2. I seem to have ended up with five separate projects:
Security and penetration testing (next st...
Today, I finished wiring the temperature sensor in - I soldered a set of jumper wires to the leads so that it could fit in to the breadboard, and add...
Today, we had a guest who was an amateur hydroponicist, to help us get the initial ideas down for the beginning of the HPA hydroponics project. The ...
Today, I planned out my proposal in more detail, and made additions to the document (now posted above). I also planned with my fellow ISR students a ...
This year, I originally proposed to work on "Vision Systems and Campus Automation", with a specific focus on "Classroom Attendance and Intra-campus T...
Today, I presented my project to Ms. Petteys. I think that the presentation went well - I explained my progress throughout this year, with the failed...
This week, I only was able to come to class once, because of AP exams. I will miss next Monday as well for the same reason. Next week - for the days ...
This week, I got the hydroponics system to work. It posts data to the database, in a form that can be graphed. All of the sensors return what appears...
Today, I set up the sensor system with the Raspberry Pi to run it, live and configured in what should be the first working prototype. The sensors all...
Today, I attached the final pH sensor to the Arduino hydroponic sensor assembly and tested it. The sensor worked exactly as designed right out of the...
This week, I reassembled the old PCR box and did research for several projects, while waiting for my last hydroponic sensor to arrive. It has now arr...
Today, Ilan and I took apart the 3D printer to replace the heating bed with the new one we had been sent. When we reassembled it with the new heating...
This week, I have been mostly focusing on the new hydroponics project, especially the analytical and automation aspect. I created a spreadsheet for t...
Today, we practiced presenting our final products, and talked about what that would entail, as well as presenting to three visitors. I will need to s...
This week, I worked almost entirely on the hydroponics project. Two out of the three sensors (EC and temperature) are connected to the Arduino, and t...
Today, I set up the Raspberry Pi I will use for the hydroponics sensors with a static IP address. It now resides at 10.14.4.35, assuming I did it cor...
Today, I set up the hardware for the sensor array in a box, and researched for the pH meter I will need. I found two things that would work - a robus...
Today, I tested my temperature sensor against the official sensor that we bought, and it returned exactly the same result. I also connected the tempe...
