This week consisted of ensuring all the correct libraries are installed onto the dragon board to access the GPIOs. This took longer than expected due to lack of information regarding prerequisite steps needed to ensure the libraries install correctly. After many hours of research, I was able to access the GPIO’s and test this by a simple LED blinking program.
This week also was utilized to install libraries for the on-board GPS capabilities. I was able to install the correct libraries however, the readings were non-valid. Unfortunately I discovered the GPS option for the Linux interface has not been completed. The GPS only operates using the Android interface. This is a setback for my project however i will find an alternate route.
