Connected fan using transistor and GPIO commands to switch it on and off
Unsuccessfully helped troubleshoot communication issues

Added activities for different rooms
Created basic buttons in the living room activity
Made a button that switches from the main activity to the living room activity https://github.com/rbare1/FlipSwitch/commit/6e72c6aa80d69af223083c8e925e31ed6065e341
Worked with Alana to get snap action and momentary switches working
Alana and I looked into ways to use GPIO with java more easily, tried to use Pi4J library with no success

Installed Pi4J Library on all the Pis
Created a build file that allows the use of the Pi4J Library and the model classes on the Raspberry Pi (https://github.com/rbare1/FlipSwitch/commit/8911b9599428b540c8cc3963bcd1c4bcf1e44b5d)
Set up the camera to trigger when a snap-action switch is pressed using a GPIO listener (Not implemented into the main project yet)
Created JUnit Test for Light class (https://github.com/rbare1/FlipSwitch/commit/867a298a9942a52139280236530b746131bf0ed0)

Worked with Alana and Mandy to wire up temperature sensor
Added the snap-action switch camera trigger into the main code (https://github.com/rbare1/FlipSwitch/commit/5044671ffcdb3d33aeba762c1382451d76c5f2b5)
Photo taken by the camera is now named based on the current date and time (https://github.com/rbare1/FlipSwitch/commit/fd0dea754abc194c0a31c95075a407d0d99f621e)

Made it so that songs will now switch when a new one is selected rather than just play over the other
Songs can be stopped (https://github.com/rbare1/FlipSwitch/commit/d82d2ae9880de1068e0f5a985443983c7d4eb2e6)
[no commit for the pi code since the rest of the audio changes are still in progress]

Created an activity to change the 3 presets (https://github.com/rbare1/FlipSwitch/commit/10368adc7df7feae26d77b4eb15c1847bb0f6b0b)
