Personal Info
- My name is Casey O'Hare and I am a undergraduate at Marquette University studying Computer Science and Mathematics
Week 1 (6/1 - 6/5)
- Attended introductory session; learned about REU program
- Met with Dr. Brylow and research group members
- Attended Systems lab orientation with Dr. Dennis Brylow
- Took pre-REU NSF survey
- Began learning MUzECS from last year
- Learned about how block-based coding works
Week 2 (6/5 - 6/12)
- Started to research online block-based IDEs for the new MUzECS platform
- Met with Dr. Brylow
- Developed a plan with research group members about how to move MUzECS to chrome
- Made sample programs in ArduBlock
- Looked through ArduBlock's code repository in order to find out how block logic was made
- Discovered Blockly from Google to use as a IDE and forked the repository
Week 3
- Met with Dr. Brylow
- Learned more about Google's Blockly and how it is built
- Started to create our own blocks in the online IDE
- Began to search for how to transfer compiled code from Chrome to the Arduino through USB
- Found a Chrome Extension that we could not figure out how it worked that would talk to the Arduino
- Found how to create a Chrome App that can use the Google serial API to talk to serial ports
Week 4
- Met with Dr. Brylow
- Adopted the Google serial API to use AVR109 protocol to succesfully talk to the Arudino over the serial port and send code to it
- Finished making ECS blocks on the online IDE
- Finished with Chrome App to allow communication to Arudino
- Created an INO server that would take code from the online IDE and compile it and send it to the Chrome App
- Overall finished MUzECS project for now
- Soldered MUzECS shields for high schools
Week 5
- Met with Dr. Brylow
- Talked about what to work on next. Decided on XinuPi conversion
- This project was already started and we planned out how to finish it
- Learned about why kexec was not working correctly and attempted to fix it
- Ordered hardware to interface with the Rasberry Pi through serial port
Week 6
- Met with Dr. Brylow
- Found out the MAC address was being randomly generated by Pis instead of being constant
- Began learning how MAC addresses were resolved and learned about the Mailbox Interface to talk to the Pi hardware
- Successfully got each MAC address straight from the hardware fixing this issue
- Connected Pis via serial port and was able to use it
Week 7
- Met with Dr. Brylow
- Began to change the check/expect scripts for remotely connecting to Pis
- Debug kexec issues with new kernels
- Started to brainstorm on how to create a server rack
- Decided to make the rack out of plexiglass and nylon hardware
- Went to hardware store for plexiglass and nylon hardware
- Started to create designs for Pi rack and cut out plexiglass
Week 8
- Met with Dr. Brylow
- Put in new Pis and server rack wires
- Started to redo curriculum in ARM for Hardware Systems course at Marquette
- Testing out new Pi rack design and how it works
Week 9
- Met with Dr. Brylow
- Finished redo of curriculum
- Started a research paper on MUzECS and XinuPi
Week 10
- Met with Dr. Brylow
- Gave poster talk
- Gave presentation on summer research
- Finished research paper on MUzECS
- Final touches on MUzECS and XinuPi projects
