Weekly Reports
5/10/21 - Completed as much of Lab 10 B as was possible, up to the point where hardware was required to continue. A screenshot of the running mam_publish and mam_client scripts was pushed to GitHub.
5/9/21 - Completed the DigiPunch digital punchcard system. My main contribution to the project was the Paho MQTT scripts used to accept user input and launch the spreadsheet editor. More detail about the project itself is located on the project site above.
5/8/21 - Individual lab reports:
Lab 1 was completed, with no deliverables, as it mostly involved installing programs or configuring settings. VNC Viewer was initially not installed in favor of using SSH and the command line for all tasks, but was later installed as it was necessary to complete some of the later labs. The Startup Mailer functioned as expected, but the edit to /etc/rc.local did not execute the python program on startup. No solution was found following extensive troubleshooting.
Lab 2 could not be completed due to a lack of the necessary hardware.
Lab 3 A and E were completed, with all programs outputting without issue. Lab 3 B, C, and D could not be completed due to lack of hardware. Lab 3 F was completed with resulting files pushed to GitHub.
Lab 4 was completed with all deliverables pushed to GitHub. Any files containing sensitive information (passwords, secret keys, API keys, etc) were edited to remove the sensitive information prior to being committed.
Lab 5 was completed, with the edited Paho .py files pushed to GitHub.
Lab 6 was completed, and a screenshot of the refresh counter is included in the GitHub repository.
Lab 7 was completed, with screenshots of the results of each IoT service included in the repository.
Lab 8 was completed, with screenshots of the graphs included in the repository.
Lab 9 was completed, with a screenshot of the resulting image from 9A included in the repository. The IBM-Q applications spawned numerous deprecation warnings and the aqua example ended in error, but the others output data.
Lab 10A was completed, with two screenshots of mining results included in the repository. Lab 10B could not be completed due to a lack of hardware.
