Week of April 10th - 14th

• Started using the Raspberry Pi in order to collect data.
• In the process of generating plots and then analyzing them. 
• Ordering an additional Raspberry Pi so we can collect additional data.
• Rebuilding the original apparatus (Arduino Uno and WiFi) and going to collect vibration data close to the elevators location.
• In addition, I am in the process of building a temperature sensor using the Arduino Mega 2560 as well as incorporating the Arduino WiFi Shield 101.
• A block diagram has been created in MATLAB Simulink (shown below) that is ready to be ran. 
• I will need to find a way to incorporate the Arduino WiFi Shield 101 into the block diagram so temperature data can be collected through the internet. 
  

Week of April 3rd - 7th

• Decided to switch from the WiFi Shield 101 and the Arduino Uno to the Raspberry Pi. 
• The reason for this is because vibration data collection through the WiFi was unreliable. The connection to the schools wifi network would interrupt data collection... least thats what we are speculating. 

This is the location below the possible observatory site
where data is being collected.  

Week of March 27th - 31st

• Presented at the Rochester Symposium.
• After presenting, one of the students suggested that we should measure vibrational data in two areas: one in a "vibration-free" area and one in a heaving vibrational area.
• We decided to attach the apparatus close to the location of the elevator in the science building.
• For an area that is "vibration-free", we plan on collecting vibration data outside of the science building after checking the forecast.

Results from accelerometer mounted to the support pier for ~ 30 minutes.
