Mars Check-In System
Daily Goals
Today I hope to fix the communication issues with the MAT. After that, I aim to fully adjust the server and begin a new development iteration of it to accommodate fully the newest additions to the Mars Check-In System.
Daily Report
The MAT is fully operational. I have also modified the server accordingly to accommodate the new methods of communication. After some streamlining, I am able to present the full Mars Check-In Suite v2.0.0. With this version of the system come a variety of improvements and additions. Some of those include:
- Two way shared-key encryption for all communication between programs
- Two-layer one way password encryption for password communication and response
- The addition of an Attendance watcher which adds:
- Real-time module watching
- Timer-based watching that automatically ends after a specified duration (can also be canceled early)
- Upon completion of a watch, generates a alphabetized report of all users detected during the watch period
- Advanced watch communication abilities, allowing the report to be submitted via email
- Saved communication settings
- Streamlining of both the Mars Server and the Remote Control
- Additions to the visual appeal of the program
- Bug fixes
These major additions have improved the system considerably. I have deployed this version for testing in the Energy lab. The first overnight test demonstrates the same fidelity of previous systems even with the added security. Response time has not been affected.
Improving the query quality of the Remote control and the server's handling of multiple modules is the next step in the Mars System development.
Now all that is missing is the M...
