Team 3 - Climate Control Meeting Minutes

Total minutes for this week: Three hours

Google Hangouts meeting - Audio call (1.5 hrs)

  • Talked about the requirements for this week
    • We started looking into JSON and tried to get the temperature/humidity reading on the pi to send to the android tablet 
    • Researched uncomfortable humidity levels
    • Create python code to read outside weather from an API
    • Finish designing the GUI display for temperature control
During class/After class - Meeting (1.5 hrs)
  • During class time we grabbed code from GitHub and got the outside temperature API code working
    • It will read the current temperature in the city
  • Got the fans to connect to the relay 
    • Up and running with python code to turn fan ON and OFF
  • Connected heating pad 
    • Heating pad also connects to the relay and it is working with python code
  • After we finished with class we stayed and worked on the User Interface 
    • We put in color in the text and arrow keys that indicate hot/cool
    • Heat will be red
    • A/C will be in blue


(Currently trying to resolve) One issue Team 3 is having trouble with is the temperature sensor that attaches to the GrovePi. When we connect everything together (relay, fans, and heating pad) the temperature sensor seems to stop working.
