CPE 322

[2021-02-08]: Completed Exercise 0 by creating a Google site and GitHub repository link for Design VI

Joined Group 19 with Sutton Dole and Jack Mavoah, went over Lab 1,

-Lesson 4 completed and was able to get final WordPress configuration running

-discussed Project ideas with the team

- Stephan Tan joined our group which we quickly brought up to speed and ensured all team members were on the same page

-Lesson 5A has been completed. Was able to get the Crossbar.io running for all 3 terminals running 1 router with 2 clients

-have not yet finished 5B and hope to finish within the next week and stack on track

-Completed Lab 6A and 6B

-have started Lab 6C but have not completed it, plan on finishing later this week

-This was a good introduction to Node.js and I hope that I find opportunities to use it in the future

-Completed Lab 8

-A lab focusing on data analyses really helped put into perspective the capabilities of our final design for our project as the few ideas we currently have revolve around having systems work with multiple sensors to gather, process and react to data gathered from said sensors

-Collaborated to create a set weekly meeting time that aligned with everyone's schedules using WhenToMeet(link to the website). It's a very simple and useful tool that i would recommend to any group starting out to establish meeting times.

-Completed Lab 9

-Quantum computing demo was very exciting and i hope to work further on this in the future, I have always been interested in quantum computing as well as physics and I am currently debating on working on my masters in that direction.

-Met with group and decided on an an idea for the final project, IOT pool monitor. Which would record and maintain aspects of a pool through the use of sensors and have control of pool systems such as the pump, filter, etc.

-created a google drive folder with drafts for each section, timelines, as well as miscellaneous files relating to the project

-Needs Assessment completed

-Project Drive link

-Completed lab 10

-Block Chain has caught my attention since the market peak in 2017 and the past year I have discovered a YouTube channel that has posted quite a few videos on topics relating to it called 3blue1brown. They are incredibly well made and really help visualize abstract concepts such as the security of SHA256 or the ledger system of bitcoin. Ill have a few of the videos linked below

-But how does bitcoin actually work?

-How secure is 256 bit security?

-First major steps taken in terms of completing the project

modules completed:

(Structuring the search for problem)

(Structuring the search for solution)

-Continued working on the final project

-have gotten progress on various modules such as

(abstraction and modeling)

(synthesis)

(ethics and liability)

-Completed and published remaining design points of hazards and design analysis

-Worked on and completed any other modules that had any missing parts

-updated project website to final version
