Kopernik - Ezgi Cakir

Title: Meeting with Prof. Jones Date: 09/07/2020 Subject: Overview and Planning of Kopernik Attendance: Ezgi Cakir, Prof. Merwyn Jones

Meeting Agenda

- Introduced to necessary tools such as Selenium and Raspberry Pi. Selenium will be used to control Wordpress which deals with Kopernik website. After getting photos of the satellite during 24 hours, new photos must be posted on the Kopernik's website. Selenium through Python will organize how the photos will be posted and updated/deleted. - It will be possible to access Raspberry Pi with VNC Viewer remotely whereas, when needed Raspberry Pi could be used manually to change the source code. When necessary Prof. Jones will lend me a Raspberry Pi. In order to connect to Raspberry Pi interface, Andrew Deskur will provide me the credentials (userid and password). - One of the current problems within the project is the chrome file does not work properly after the microSD card got burned. Chrome file needs to be rebooted for the root and the user. Since amplifier between the satellite and Raspberry Pi depends on it, it has a high priority. - For future improvements, the photos of last 7 days of satellites could be saved on the website. Currently, it displays the recent photos while deleting the old ones from the website.

Current Status

Till that meeting, available material and research on the project will be done. - Prof. Jones has shared possible resources to help me get started on the project research and understanding wise.
