Kopernik - Ezgi Cakir, Ata Akin
Week One
Title: Weekly Updates on Kopernik
Date: 09/19/2021
Subject: Getting Started
Attendance: Ezgi Cakir, Ata Akin, Professor Jones, Andrew Deskur
Meeting Agenda
- Satisfying necessary paperwork before starting the Kopernik Project.
Current Status
- Prof. Jones shared documentation for the status of the project for us to get started.
- Waiting for the scheduled weekly meeting to discuss the requirements and roles about the project.
Accomplishments
- Applied for CPT and got the new updated I-20s.
- Set up a time for weekly meetings with Prof. Jones, Andrew Deskur, Ata Akin and Ezgi Cakir.
Week Two
Title: Meeting with Andrew Deskur
Date: 09/26/2021
Subject: Kopernik Project Requirements
Attendance: Ezgi Cakir, Ata Akin, Professor Jones, Andrew Deskur
Meeting Agenda
- Getting to know Andrew and understanding the needs of the project
- Role distribution for different aspects of the project; Ezgi taking part in FTP server and file operations to have a better performance than Wordpress while, Ata will be starting with Russian satellites and how to connect them to RPI to the same antenna using software
Current Status
- Took the credentials for VNC RPI environment and FTP server. There was a problem with the VNC which Andrew took care of during the week. Now we are able to connect to RPI through VNC. Connected to FTP server with Cyberduck taking necessary credentials. As the first step, coded a very simple Python program using ftplib to get a file into the FTP server.
- Later on Ezgi will be working on using FTP server to archive images of NOAA 15, 18 and 19 more than 7 days.
- Andrew shared links about setting up Russian satellites with NOAA satellites. We have started to research on how to use the same antenna to get images of the different satellites. Our goal is integrating RPI in a way to use both type of satellites.
Accomplishments
- Two files one jpeg and one docx documents successfully transferred to FTP server using simple Python code. The directory for the files is public_html/wp-content/gallery
Week Three
Title: Satellite Images
Date: 10/03/2021
Subject: NOAA15, NOAA18, NOAA19
Attendance: Ezgi Cakir, Ata Akin, Professor Jones, Andrew Deskur
Meeting Agenda
- Discussing further into the project and deciding on the next steps:
Ezgi: 1) Executing the FTP server code from RPI 2) Putting related satellite images to their own folders
Ata: Researching more about how to set the RPI for Russian satellites
Current Status
- Got familiar with coding in RPI environment using text editors. Used the same simple FTP server code to send a file to the server from RPI.
- Examined prep_web_images.py which is the file about taking the satellite images from home/pi/weather/Today and pushes them to website. Started with python os library.
- Created separate folders for all NOAA satellites. Wrote a piece of code to only have the list of files in a certain path. Next step is to check the satellite images, take the satellite information and copy them to the relevant folders. I do not plan to move the files just yet because current system is displaying them from home/pi/weather/Today path. Instead I will copy the same images to their own folders. I am having a hard time to test the bit of the code in my own system due to lack of satellite images. After going through with python os more, I will test it during the week.
Accomplishments
- Created a directory for FTP server files and executed file transfer with FTP from RPI successfully.
- Found necessary files related to preparing web images (home/pi/weather/scripts/prep_web_images.py) and prepping the software for Russian satellites (home/pi/predict).
