Here's a summary of what we discussed, what we're doing/need to do, and what needs more discussion.
We talked about:
- The issues with the network connectivity between Pis.
- Requirements specs for the software.
- Upcoming hardware and software installations.
- Working on the project with students from QE school.
- Keep working on the software to fix some more bugs.
- Perform a diagnosis on the cable and its connectors to try and see what's going on.
- Put SumpPi in a water-proof box/area of some kind.
- Try to get a deployment working, involving:
- Fixing the connectivity problems.
- Ongoing work with the software.
- Installing new hardware.
- Testing.
- The difference between design and functional requirements.
- Whether we need either for the software (at all, or at this particular moment in time).
- Whether requirements would be beneficial or confusing to QE students.
- What kind of level the QE students are at in terms of programming, and whether they would understand some of the technical language we might need to use to explain how the software works.
All in all, a good meeting, and we have plans for what to do next. On Thursday 7/9/2017 I'll come in and try and reconfigure SMB so I can write the software to the cards.
