Laying the Milestones 17/12/2020

Hardware wise:

On 16.12.20 we received from the mail 2 more STM32F103 Nucleo-64 boards, 3 HC-SR501 Infrared IR Sensors and 2 OV7670 Camera Modules. We found the Reference manual that can be used to program to STM32F103 microcontroller (the document is attached).

Software wise:

Software on the embedded side (STM32CubeIDE):

The programs we wrote so far for STM32F103 Nucleo board are:

• Program that causes LED blinking using STM32F10x Standard Peripherals Library (With use of SysTick interrupt).
• Program that recognizes a button press, and in response, an interrupt is triggered that causes the LED to turn on/off.

To be done:

1. Use the new equipment that has arrived: try to activate interruption following motion sensing, turn on a camera following motion sensing.
2. Communicate with the firebase.

Software for the management application (Visual Studio Code):

• We started building the management site. So far we created 5 components: (1)sidebar- within it, the other components will be transplanted (2)login (3)contact-list (4)create-timer (5)history
• We opened a firebase project, and we put the necessary configuration into the environment.ts file. (At first, we uploaded the code to github along with environment.ts. But we fixed the problem, and added the environments folder to gitignore).

To be done:

1. Add functionality to the login page using the firebase.
2. Program the contact-list page, and attach to it the: add contact /remove contact functionality (along with the firebase).

Planning wise:

Regarding GitHub:

1. We changed the Repository name of the project from “Final-project-Embedded-systems” to “cnss-app” How do I rename a repository on GitHub?.
2. We created a new repository called "cnss-embedded". Reason for 1&2: “cnss-app” repository will store the management application code. The “cnss-embedded” repository will store the embedded side code.
3. We have uploaded the relevant code for each repository: to “cnss-app” repository we uploaded the beginning of the management side, and to “cnss-embedded” repository we uploaded the program that recognizes a button press, and causes the LED to turn on/off.

Note: in the cnss-embedded repository- the file: “.cproject” contains specific routes within the uploader computer, which may be different for the code downloader. Is there a way to make the tracks relative? Or add these files to gitignore?

To be done:

1. Alpha report- collect together all the flow charts we have created, we can use them in writing the report.
2. Schedule a consultation with 500tech regarding the linking of the Wi-Fi component with firebase.

Amazing!! Couldn't have written any better 🥇 I thought of a naive solution for the “.cproject” problem: We can just put all paths - yours and mine the properties paths in assuming the system is not smart enough to realize that half the paths don't actually exist in either of our computers...
