This issue shall be closed once the proposal is completed and the document has been uploaded to the repository

This issue shall not be treated as an issue or troubleshooting section. This issue would be a daily log of work that would be done while the documentation of the project is being prepared. Thus reporting will be made when the report of the project will be built in step by step process in a day to day manner.

This is the last phase of hardware interfacing in our project. In this interfacing, we want to interface the LDR module with BB-WI. With the help of this sensor, we shall make the letter count as zero so that it marks that we have removed all the letters from the letterbox.

Using part one of interfacing completed without any flaws. Now we shall complete phase two of the interfacing i.e. once the letter is detected by the IR sensor the LED goes high now along with the LED going high one should also send an SMS to the user intimating that a letter was deposited in the letter box.

All issues pertaining to this interfacing shall be posted in this. Please only submit the changes when issue #12 is closed

In this issue, we shall be discussing various issues that we found we faced while making the PCB design for the project. This would be considered as a final step towards completing the project.

This issue would be basically having issues that we faced while demonstrating the project for the evaluation as a whole entire system. This issue will be like a log of events that occurred during the demonstration

Now as we progress to the next stage where we will interface some of the sensor to our actual processing unit known as the Beaglebone Black Wireless (BB-WI). Under this issue we shall keep posting various header file issue or connection issue we may face during this interface phase.

After all the testing task has been accomplished one needs to sketch a plan on how the connections shall be made on the actual hardware. This is referred to as Schematic Capture.

As for the last part of the software interface required for the project, we have to connect and send the data collected from the project to a cloud service and we choose this cloud service to be ThingSpeak and all the issues faced shall be illustrated in this issue thread.

Finalizing the GSM Module appropriate and compatible with the Beaglebone AI board

For the components that were received before one can use them one needs to do proper testing to ensure that it working properly and provides the desired voltage and current as required by the project

Order the appropriate Hardware and get ready for testing. One can order the components through the following websites:

1. Amazon.ca
2. Digikey
3. Creatron Store
4. Elmwood Electronics
