TECHNICAL PROGRESS
Space node software development
- Developed the file transfer script between the hardware board and FTP server. With this script, the data files will be automatically downloaded to the hardware board once it is powered on. The data files will also be automatically uploaded to the FTP server once processed by the space node software.
- Worked on an open source code of the hardware demo board and drafted the user manual.
- Tested the space node software on the hardware board for our community and solved the issues during the deployment
- Reorganised repos on SpaceChain GitHub and separated them into categories. The revised categories/repos are more intelligible to a wider readership now.
SpaceChain server architecture update
- Researched and developed a payment system, and updated the server architecture.
