In our initial week we were debriefed on the our overall goals by Professor Philip Johnson, and then assigned sub-project teams.
The first subproject I will be working on for the first checkpoint is Wattdepot Apps. This is basically taking what we had been working on last semester and applying it into individual standalone distributable applications for wattdepot users.
On this project, I am joined by a former group member from our Greenometer wicket application from last semester Edward Meyer and classmate Kendyll Doi. We are also fortunate enough to have Robert Brew, the man behind wattdepot, on our team.
Together we are tasked with creating three main applications for the initial wattdepot apps. A standalone visualization using Google Visualization, a Wattdepot browser that will be similar to a GUI version of the Wattdepot CLI from the previous semester, and a Wattdepot monitor that will be bring us real time updates.
In our initial meeting, we met with Robert to discuss some of the requirements for the current sub-project. We will be putting the third part of the project on hold until Robert can get Wattdepot to allow pushing of data for the updates. Meanwhile the remaining three of us will be collaborating to complete the first two parts of the project by the time robert can update wattdepot for real time date updates.
We currently have our google-project page set up and have assigned issues to be worked on by the group members. We have started looking as ways into which we can implement the first part of the project, the google visualizations. One current problem we have come across is that one of the reference projects from last semester "Carbonometer", which used google visualizations, is currently not working. We are inquiring the group as to if it was a problem on their side or our side and we hope to get it resolved as soon as possible.
As for this coming week, we have a tentative schedule to get the basic visualizations working by the end of the week.
