Week 8 Supervisor Meeting

During my meeting with Dr. Judhi this week, I informed him that the device had started encountering memory errors again, preventing shot data from being sent and stored in the Firebase real-time database. To resolve this issue, I explored different solutions and eventually implemented a circular buffering technique, which successfully restored the functionality without overflowing the buffer memory when the device was being used for a prolonged period of time. Due to the time spent troubleshooting this problem, my progress on the mobile application was somewhat limited. However, I was able to show Dr. Judhi the landing page of the application that I had worked on, along with the login and signup functionality of the application.

Initially, I planned to develop the application using Unity, but after further research, I decided to switch to React Native using TypeScript. This choice was driven by React Native’s strong mobile application development focus, allowing cross-platform development for both iOS and Android without requiring a MacBook for iOS compatibility. Dr. Judhi appreciated my research-driven approach and reviewed my work so far. Additionally, I worked on a quiz page to collect additional information after taking a new shot, although it was not yet connected to Firebase. Dr. Judhi provided valuable UI feedback, which I will incorporate, and he instructed me to plan for the upcoming weeks, focusing on Firebase integration for seamless data exchange between hardware and software, along with developing the main pages of the app.
