weekly update (3/16)

This week I tested out the reader with student interface, and checked if self-check in and check-out worked properly. I also met with Craig and discussed plan to migrate the application to the server and perhaps have it ready for the EPIC expo.

This week I finished implementing a rough version of the student user interface. I spent a considerable time discussing the logic behind to student check out and check and what measures were necessarily to put in. I received feedback from Ajit on the design, and modified my approach based on that.

This week I finalized the schema for the database with Ajit, and familiarized myself with the PostgreSQL commands after receiving the log in information from Craig. I faced an unexpected challenge with the ordering of the RFID device from Ebay. Instead I researched for two days and found a few other cost friendly options in the US, and have proposed to the department to purchase one of them. 

I am planning to finish all the software end of the project by the time I get my hands on the device!

Weekly Update (Jan 30)

This week I met with Ajit and discussed some of the necessary features for the user interface that the administrator will be using. This involved seeing a list of recently checked out items, adding new objects, and adding new users. I also met with Craig and discussed the back-end work. We decided to use Django and PostgreSQL.
