1. Project 10: Innovative IoT Applications in Scientific Research and Consumer Market REU Student: Nathalie Domingo Graduate mentors: Kelvin Ly and Kaveh Shamsi Faculty Mentor(s): Dr. Zhang and Dr. Jin
Week 7 (July 5 – July 8, 2016)
Accomplishments:
Set up the GPS module: only gets a fix outside and can communicate with the RPI
Set up the Wi-Fi dongle to act as an access point—allows remote connection to the RPI
Found ways to locate available Wi-Fi networks and the number of devices on the network
Started flying the drone
Issues/problems encountered and solutions (if any):
Broke the drone—probably won’t get a new one
Could not access UART—necessary for the GPS module
GPS module would get a fix, but could not communicate with the RPI
Device mentioned in all tutorials used for built-in Bluetooth on new RPI
Fixed by using the correct device: /dev/serial0
Plans for next week:
Continue working on the drone project
Find a way to map out info
