Week 13 - Rapid Prototype Coming Together

This week we were able to use a backing plate to mount our components onto. We mounted on the Arduino Mega, breadboard, servo, and motor which we can use to demonstrate our code.

We also tried running the mobile app with the podcars and we started getting a new error for no reason. We hadn't changed anything but now the process goes on like it's supposed to until the ticket is purchased and the thread is created in Firebase. After 10-20 seconds, we'd get an error in the Command Prompt. Jeremy and I couldn't make anything of it and so Jeremy took down some notes on what was going on and took it home with him.

We got a tip from Dr. Furman for using an alternative to the UI interface for the podcar system. He recommended looking into the language called Processing, which can be used to code graphical interfaces.
