Addendum 1:

Due to some other projects, I had already installed Node.js for server usage and personal software development. Running the https.js examples was no issue.

Pip package management system could not install Pystache properly, error ''module 'pystache' has no attribute 'render''. Research indicates that it could be that this new version is not supported well on M1 mac, and I might need to downgrade the software version or try on another PC.

Also, I have successfully finished some more Raspberry Pi labs and will update project site with screenshots soon.

Addendum 2:

Set up account on https://thingspeak.com/ for ThingSpeak for IoT Projects and Analytics, I also set up an API key and ran some tests with the results, will update scripts on senior design gitHub. Started Morphological Chart for options and directions for our project, but project teammate is sick so that is currently on pause. (Will update within the week)

Addendum 3:

This week after finishing midterms, I have redone all the labs in an effort to better prioritize my Design 6 course, as there is a lot more I can learn from doing things well than cruising through.

First thing I did was configure my raspberry pi with TightVNC viewer, a free and open-source remote desktop software server and client application. This allowed for ease of use when switching between devices as all I had to do was open a new window.

I secondly installed Barrier on both devices and configured both platforms to start on boot for the raspberry pi as to allow me to connect to it from anywhere at any time.

I set up Token based access on my Mac in order to comply with the new GitHub requests.
