Saad Shaikh

• Finished transfer report.
• Wrote first draft of talk slides.
• Wrote Wiki page on background and operation of Zybo and DDC232.
• Uploading data to Plus1 seems to work with CoolTerm, C++ CSV generation and tail/cat commands.
  • Will add argument in C++ macro to control rate of CSV file generation on local machine.
• Will write Wiki page on QuARC data analysis.
• Will implement readout before and after CONV toggles on DDC232.
• Will give a mock talk in next week's meeting.

Fern Pannell

• 2 Pis set up with Argon cases and thermal gel.
• Developed rough scaffolding structure for frontend display in JS.
  • Chart.js library used for visuals.
• Researched and experimented with several parsing libraries.
  • Papa Parse deemed the only suitable library for easy success client-side.
  • Papa Parse can be revisited for more complex data structures (JSON).
• Manually parsing one-line CSV file with fetch API and node http server.
  • Issue 1: CSV data only parsing when read as a column (reconfigure for row).
  • Issue 2: Updating the data file is not reflected in the chart upon refresh - cannot test java PhotodiodeValues file until this is resolved.
• Next steps focus on reconfiguring the manual parsing for row-based data and resolving data updating issues.
