Week #8: June 30th - July 6th

Individual Log - Conner

Following the group's meeting to test the smart water faucet, I began researching and troubleshooting the code problems. Zach had individually tested each function of the valve code and it's ability to connect to the thermostat MCU and discovered that the flow sensor had some software practices that interrupt the bluetooth procedures. I researched solutions and contacted industry peers to develop a work-around using interrupts or specific libraries to keep bluetooth and flow sensor procedures separate. I updated the code using a different library to poll for the flow sensor and sent the code for review.

Since the valve enclosure is close to being finished and the appearance has changed so much, I remodeled the 3d viewer for the website and embedded the new model. I am still working on getting an interactive view for the valve enclosure and will update the website upon completion.

Other progress made includes adding more precise values for temperature measurement, reprogramming valve code to address testing issues, and adding sections for final valve enclosure features(Re-circulation pump,duty cycle,etc.).
