Work Completed during this Week

  • Added map interface to the web interface.
  • Added registration process to the S.I.C. web interface.
  • Set-up a web server on the Raspberry-Pi board, using Apache.

Smart Irrigation Controller - Web Interface

  • Discuss the newly-added map interface
  • Discuss the newly-added registration process
  • Current Python scripts are redundant with the web interface. Implement python scripts which runs continually in the background
  • Re-discuss the “Irrigation Control Method” from last meeting, and clarify how it should be implemented. How much will we rely on algorithms to control the irrigation routine ? How much control should we give to the user ?

Upcoming Report

  • Raspberry-Pi 3 Model B Hardware \ Interfaces \ Power & Voltage & Current Limitations.
  • Raspberry-Pi Zero Hardware \ Interfaces \ Power & Voltage & Current Limitations.
  • Linux distribution to use, if we are going to ship a product out commercially (i.e. Legal Issues, and lightweight distribution).
  • Power supply solutions to make the Rasp. Pi portable using external batteries and solar power.
  • Requirements of the LoRa interface, especially when connected with a Raspberry-Pi.

Post-Meeting Decisions

  • Add a history/logs page to the web interface
  • Add a scheduling page on the web interface
  • Set-up an alternative to host documentations related to the Smart Irrigation Controller
