Software
- Block Diagram:
- Firmware
- Dylan's hair is sick
- Server
- Dashboard
- Progress:
- Firmware - Implemented Guava, working on naming schemes, working on low power mode, implement a software reset
- Server
- June helping out with the server
- Corrupted partition table
- Dashboard
- Designed simple weatherbox page for displaying weatherbox data
- Tested Dashboard using a postgres virtual machine
- Menu and Nav bar on the side
- Challenges:
- Large sets of data
- loading graphs independently

Wind Sensors
- Two mini presentations
- Acoustic:
- Progress:
- Real time processing algorithm
- Several indoor tests
- Experimented accuracy with different means of linearizing data
- Start implementation of direction determination
- Problems:
- Syntax - silly Scott
- Innaccuracies
- Ultrasonic:
- Progress:
- implemented algorithm to sav threshold crossing time
- Recieved their ultrasonic transducers and began testing
- Problems:
- Algorithm is error-prone - going to look to error correcting code
- Might need amplifier for output signal or emitter
