Lab Deliverables

Lab 10

I was able to run the flask server, as well as connect to and view it on the pi.
I was unable to do part B due to a lack of hardware, as I don't have a breadboard.

Lab 9

I was able to open and run GIMP and pinta, as well as view the files via VNC viewer.

Lab 8

I was unable to install TensorFlow on the Pi, despite trying as many options as possible, I kept getting a memory error.

Lab 7

I was able to setup and run the thingspeak server, as well as collect data from my Pi.
The collected data is displayed in the graphs to the left.

Lab 6

I downloaded and installed the Particle App on my iPhone and was successfully able to connect my Raspberry Pi.
I was also able to host the node server and connect to it from my desktop, as well as run both files.

Lab 5

Installed Docker on Raspberry Pi.
I was unable to build and run new image from Dockerfile, kept getting error 'curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server.'
Crossbar worked perfectly, and I was able to establish communication.

Lab 4

When I tried to create the server, I kept getting a runtime error.
Lab 4C went very smoothly and I was able to load and play the memory game.
For Lab 4D, I am unsure of the formatting for wp-config.php, and could not connect.

Lab 3

I was able to install and run the Python code without many problems.
For part 3E, it was interesting to see that python had the quickest runtime, with python3 being next and pypy was the slowest.
For part 3F, I was also able to successfully run the program after following the given instructions.

Lab 2

Lab 2 was basic setup of the Pi as well as using peripherals which I do not own, I did my best to follow during class.

Lab 1

Setting up my Pi went pretty smoothly, since I had already used it in CPE 390 last spring.
Connected Pi to Wi-Fi in my new apartment, which allowed me to ssh using Git Bash.
Had a bit of a problem with the VNC viewer not showing the full Pi desktop (edges were cutoff), but that was solved after a quick reboot.
