1. Project 3: Development of Wireless Gas Detectors REU Student: Jose Vigil Graduate mentors: Chris Hughes, Xiaochen Wang Faculty Mentor(s): Dr. Hyoung Jin Cho
Week 1 (May 23 – May 27, 2016)
Accomplishments:
Read two research papers and a section of a book.
Started learning to use the language of the Mathematica Software
Understanding why the use of Raspberry Pi 3
Attended the group meeting with Dr. Cho and the graduate students
Issues/problems encountered and solutions (if any):
Confused on how to convert from Mathematica into a language that Raspberry will read such as (Python or C)

2. Research
Secure Sensor Node with Raspberry Pi (Google scholar)
Raspberry Pi as Internet of Things hardware: Performances and Constraints (Google Scholar)
They created a network for a security sensor including a Raspberry Pi via Bluetooth
Security system in the health industry to detect and be notified by cellphone when a patient falls.(Not commercial at the moment.)
Similar to Project-
The wireless connection and transfer of data to another device.
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is a Wi-fi model.
Different Shields can be accommodated for different purposes.
Low Energy consumption
Compared to Arduino it is many times faster.

3. Project Overview Plans for next week:
Continue reading and practicing writing code.
