Final Project Update

I have so far not encountered anything I would potentially have difficult with in setting up the raspberry pi. The only obstacle is obtaining all the equipment needed to properly deploy the system. For now I have been using an HDMI cable to connect to a display here at MAGNET. I will be later transitioning to using VNC viewer to connect to Raspberry PI through ethernet port, because locating a display everytime I want to work on theproject is just far too time consuming. I still need to obtain an Ethernet to USB adapter so that I can properly connect my laptop to it, and download and install the firmware to the SD card. I will also obtain the wifi component for the raspberry pi so that it does not have to permanently connect to the router. Finally, need to obtain micro 2a usb charging cable because right now I am using  a borrowed micro  from Elton. In regards to screens, I have been considering the TFT screen, or a higher fidelity LCD screen, and will send some examples for your review

Items to Acquire ranked by Priority
- Ethernet to USB Adapter cable (P0)
- Micro 2a USB charging cable (P1)
- Raspberry Pi WiFi component (P1)
- TFT screen (exact model unknown) (P2)

I should have wiring of a basic LED setup by class today and will expand on it more once I acquire the materials above

Milestones:

- Week 11 - Install firmware, order required components shown above, Basic LED Wiring setup with Raspberry Pi
- Week 12 - Alpha version will connect to WiFi and collect data from basic API
- Week 13 - Deploy node.js Server API and connect to rpi api call
- Week 14 - Complete outputs for Server API by attaching LEDs and set up screen
- Week 15 - Complete outer casing and design components
