    Week 1 August 26 2017

    This week in class we started off with talking about our projects to the rest of class. I got to hear about the rest of the classes project and some of the NASA projects that will be happening off campus at KEK and on Mauna Kea. My project is going to be a amazon alexa voice controlled home automation hub that will be powered by raspberry PI. I will add components and and container around the PI and plug speakers and a microphone and other components directly into the PI. I used the next class to start a parts list. From the outside to the inside my parts I need are 1 a case that I can 3d print. Next a lcd display for PI that I could use but don't have to. Some sort of speaker mechanism that will allow the speakers to be on the outside of the casing. A microphone in a place where it can clearly pick up audio. A small power bank that can power multiple usb devices. Lastly a raspberry PI 3 that I have. The last class of the week I attempted to start working on my PI. Since this is my first time using a PI i had some problems. I couldn't get my PI to connect to a monitor. I got a red light that showed the PI was on but for some reason nothing was showing up on the monitor. Next class I will look up online and see about some trouble shooting for PI’s not working. I can also try using other PI’s to see if its the monitor that's the problem.
