Project Proposal - Methods / Methodology #5

Closed ThatGeoGuy closed 10 years ago

ThatGeoGuy commented 10 years ago

As per the course guidelines we need an appropriate project proposal for the project at hand. A full description of the project proposal should be outlined in the wiki. The Methods section should consist of:

The biggest problem here is that we have yet to define the project in terms of the sensors we are using and the problem we are trying to solve. For example, adding sensors to detect soil moisture would give us concrete information on the types of sensors we're looking for. For the time being this is not currently known.

@b-en perhaps yourself and I can both work on getting this done? I imagine the Gantt chart we need to create can go in this section as well, and I can help you through what we need to do with the "methodology" as we break down our objectives into smaller pieces.

@kathleen-a perhaps you can detail how you think we're going to break down objectives (since you claimed the objectives section of the proposal) and @b-en and I can discuss what we think needs to be done to complete each one?

kathleen-a commented 10 years ago

@ThatGeoGuy would I still include some kind of timeline in the objectives section? Cause that would more or less be covered in the Gantt chart right? Anyway, I will try to put something up by tonight =P but no promises...

ThatGeoGuy commented 10 years ago

No need to put a time line in anymore since we're doing a Gantt chart now.

kathleen-a commented 10 years ago

I had trouble trying to differentiate between objective and methods but I put something up on the wiki that hopefully you guys can work with >< feedback appreciated. I'll give it a little more substance for the report as needed...

ThatGeoGuy commented 10 years ago

Hey @kathleen-a, I'm taking this discussion to issue #4

b-en commented 10 years ago

I spent a bit of time comparing the Raspberry Pi to an Arduino and added some details to the wiki in the methodology section. I'm struggling to discuss what sensors we are consider as well as "How we plan on creating the library / interfacing with the database" since we don't (to my knowledge) have access to either.

ThatGeoGuy commented 10 years ago

Don't worry about being specific in terms of "how" we are going to write the library / interface with Dr. Liang's server. If you can find the OGC draft for the IoT specification just reference that as the means with which we're going to develop this system towards.

I would suggest just writing what you can, and we'll discuss any difficulties or finer details in our group meeting tomorrow.

ThatGeoGuy commented 10 years ago

@b-en In regards to the wiki, there is one point where you mention that the Raspberry Pi has 512MB of RAM. I am unsure if Dr. Liang has that specific model of the Raspberry Pi. I believe he may have the Model A, which has been discontinued, which has only 256MB of RAM. You may wish to change your section to include either estimate of the memory capacity of the board.

b-en commented 10 years ago

Okay I include that information. I'm reworking the sections a bit which should be an improvement. I hope to finish by later tonight.

b-en commented 10 years ago

I finished the first draft of the Methodology Section. It ended up blowing out a bit so if the editor or compiler wants to cut anything out I won't be offended.

I still need to update the Wiki so I am leaving this issue open until I do so.
