My, still nameless, project is coming along nicely; just not in the direction Iw ant. I am still waiting for components to arrive which is preventing me from building the mechanical part of the project. This is a huge setback as it is a key element of the project. I had hoped to spend time building it during the Make Mark 1 phase so that it could be perfected or refined for Make Mark 2 - unfortunately the way things are going now I may be hacking it together for MM2. Not ideal.
In lighter news, I have a fully functioning demo app (see image above). I say demo as some elements (i.e store and weather) I have left out as I deemed them too complex or time consuming to focus on. I do however have an app which accounts for multiple users and syncs with an online database. Currently however you cannot view video offline (I had hoped for viewed video to cache locally) but that may come in the future. For the time being however this is fine - at the Degree Show everything will be networked locally anyway so will act as a suitable demonstration; I’d really only need to think about these things if the app/system were to go live.
Here’s hoping I get my components tomorrow so I can power on ahead with the mechanical (and hardest) part of this project!
