The connections subject spanned at least 8 percent of the entire material covered.\u00a0 Most of it pertained to wired connections and physical connector types.\u00a0 There was little mention of wireless options.\u00a0 Those that were included RF, Sound, and Light.\u00a0 None of these were demonstrated with code or some working example.<\/p>\n
Since the next quarter will involve cloud data processing, this data will need to be uploaded wirelessly.\u00a0 This will introduce new methods like WiFi and GSM.\u00a0 I would like to explore the offerings that Iridium soltuions provide as well.<\/p>\n
Cellular intagration my also lend an improved method of data aquisition and polling.\u00a0 This is going to be a packed quarter, so I shouldn’t have concerns about a lack of material to research.<\/p>\n
The rule of thumb for most of the quarters is materials should be ordered well in advance.\u00a0 This will provide time to work with the technologies, instead of waiting.<\/p>\n
