• Konstantinos Verigos, Technological Educational Institute of Crete
• Stefanos Athanasiadis, Technological Educational Institute of Crete
• Tommi Potapoff, Vaasa University of Applied Sciences
• Jesse Koski, Vaasa University of Applied Sciences
• Mikko Heikkuri, Vaasa University of Applied Sciences

Goal

• Work out good working prototype or final product.
• Build up product with good graphical user interface.
• Create embedded system with two parts:

1. Consumer android application for monitoring and visualizing marine data.
2. Using Marine microcontroller and Marine sensor system.

• Embedded system can save history data and hold it.
• This embedded system can show all information what sensors can give.
• It have to be simple and easy to use.
• It has physical buttons what you can use to start and stop saving data, to turn device on and off.

Activity

Monday - 25.03.13

Things what we did that day

• Listening some lectures.
• Programming sumorobots and took a part from the sumorobots contest.
• Divided into groups and we chose our project.

Tuesday - 26.03.13

Things what we did that day

• Made some research for hardware, software and tried to got a cleaner view of our project.
• We met sailing boat in our school, got inspiration, made some brainstorming, collecting ideas.

Problems what we faced:

• We tried to find those problems what we will starting to face.

Things what we plan to do:

• Collect more information about our project.
• Ask some questions, what we have made for clients.

Wednesday - 27.03.13

Things what we did that day

• We met our mentor Andres Käver and other project owner Linnar Viik, we cleared up our project.
• Everybody got their part what to do:

Tommi and Mikko - working with hardware development
Konstantinos - working with software and android development
Kristjan - working with Wiki page and Java software development
Jesse - working with user interface development

Problems what we faced:

• What kind of devices can connect to system?

Answer to question
All the devices what sailing boat using.
There are GPS Antenna, Compass Transducer, Triducer, Wind Transmitter, Analog Display,
Dual Digital Display and through NMEA there will be connected tablet.

Questions and answers from client:

Things what we plan to do:

• First thing

Thursday - 28.03.13

Things what we did that day
Kostas -
Set up and update development tools for android. Create the project in Eclipse ADT.
Research and setup tools for Google Maps Android Api v2.

Jesse -
Research similar marine applications and sketch first mockup for prototyping the UI of the application.

Tommi and Mikko -
Research on each component that is needed in project and getting to know all the manuals,
learning about level shifting, made list from the components that are needed to create level
shifting circuit for the arduino.

Athanasiadis Stefanos -
Research on Marineapi 0.5, and its components. Read some Arduino code examples on serial communication.
