We approached Week 5 with high hopes, as during the week, Katherine had managed produce a basic but functional GUI. This became an issue however, as when we attempted to test the GUI with the Weather Station, we found that all values taken into the GUI were being read as Zero. This became a problem, and Alex and Katherine spent all morning looking for a solution. They eventually realised that whilst they had instantiated the class to read in the data in the GUI class, this had not actually started the data reader, hence why all values were read as zero. After remedying this, they then realised that whilst they could read in the data now, the GUI did not update the data beyond the initial values. After more reading and checking, we eventually had a fully working GUI by changing some Labels to Text Areas.Surya and Herbert meanwhile had begun working out the correct timings so that both the LCD screen on the weather station and the output on our iPad updated at a reasonable rate, so that the iPad did not appear slow, but the LCD could be readable. After doing this, the output on the LCD was then altered to make it neater.
Whilst this was happening, Anuraag and Qusai were working on our poster, researching other posters and trying to come up with a solid base design for ours. They were joined by Surya and Herbert later on.
