[12-01-20]: Final project design can be found in the next tab of the page menu at the top right of                          the screen with hopes of future creation of the application.

​

[12-01-20]: Used Flask to host a server, and ran the app in a secondary terminal. Made posts on                          the web application to show working proof.

​

[11-27-20]: Began Lab 10. Ran the hash function with randomization. Ran the secure hash                                    algorithm. Ran Gerald Nash's tiniest blockchain.

​

[11-22-20]: Installed and ran both GIMP and Pinta to display and, if desired, edit the .png file.                                Looked into the Qiskit textbook and planning to dive further into quantum computing.

 

[11-18-20]: Began lab 9. Installed and ran pyang. Installed and ran PlantUML, creating a sequence                      diagram of .png format.

​

[11-13-20]: Began part B of Lab 8, beginning with demonstrations of histograms, box plots, 

                    regressions, and classifications. Cross-validations followed with a scatter plot and 

                    line of best fit running through the graph. Keras and TensorFlow were used to 

                    evaluate the performance of deep learning models in Keras.

​

[11-09-20]: Began Lab 8. Finished Part A which included displaying a series of examples using 

                    Matplotlib which is a library meant to be utilized for the display pf static, animated,

                    and interactive plots when working with Python.

​

[11-05-20]: Worked on Lab 7 Part B. Looked into the usages of Mosquitto MQTT apart from the 

                    class assignment. Signed up for the Google Cliud Platform Identity and Access 

                    Management (IAM). Automatically logged data into Google Sheets using gspread and

                    oauth2client.

​

[11-04-20]: Started working on Lab 7 Part A - ThingSpeak. Created a new channel with 

                    subsequent fields. Copied the API Key and ran thingspeak_feed.py.

​

[10-29-20]: The 'Tinker > D7 > digitalWrite() > HIGH or LOW' portion of Lab 6 was unsuccessful for                       me because the proper indicators were not showing up within the app. Planning to                             revisit.

​

[10-27-20]: Looked into lab 6. Signed up for Particle Cloud and downloaded the mobile app.

​

[10-23-20]: Installed and ran Mosquitto MQTT and Paho in order to subscribe on one terminal and                      publish on another. Tested the ability to publish with a "Hello" test. Published the CPU                        usage and temperature of the Raspberry Pi based on an interval time delay.

​

[10-21-20]: Working through the use of Docker. Ran crossbar on Terminal 1, ran publish-client on                         Terminal 2, ran subscribe-client on Terminal 3. 

​

[10-20-20]: Lab 5 analyzed. 

​

[10-16-20]: Left unfinished for the time being is the Alexa Skill Kit portion of lab 4 because the                            Hello World Skill is not appearing on the console.

​

[10-13-20]: Installed Flask-Ask and Ngrok for Alexa Skill Kit.

​

[10-11-20]: Completed the flask portion of lab 4. Began to glance at what to expect for lab 5.

​

[10-10-20]: Completed Django REST project myraspi. Local server and website are up and                                running properly.

​

[10-09-20]: Working on lab 4 Django REST project myraspi. MySQL database created along with                       a user. Edited settings.py to reflect settings.txt.

​

[10-07-20]: In progress of Django project Stevens. Have set up the MariaDB server and client                            and have created a user. Error occuring in the final stages of the project.

​

[10-05-20]: Looked at lab 4, and completed the installation of Django and Django REST                                      framework.

​

[09-30-20]: Completed lab 3, but could not work on the portions that required electrical                                      components. Changed some of the code for the Hello.py email portion because it                            was not sending.

​

[09-28-20]: Completed up to the moon phase portion of lab 3. This included running all of the                            example code, the installation of jdcal astral geopy, and finally the moon phase                                portion.

​

[09-25-20]: Ensured serial count is disabled, installed minicom, added a new line and enabled                          echo, working on getting materials to complete the physical portions of lab 2.

​

[09-18-20] Formatted microSD card, downloaded Raspberry Pi OS, set up ssh, set up vnc server                     and vnc viewer, and completed lab 1 even though there's no submission necessary.

​

[09-15-20]: No classes due to the national holiday, purchased 32GB MicroSD card, purchased a                        MicroSD card reader.
