Reflections

Initially, I was very scared about doing an actual working prototype in a week since I had never touched electronics or coding before. I decided to learn first from the IoT lab website before starting my project and I was very impressed by the lab website content. The diverse guides and tutorials made me very familiar with the different components. After that, I started building progressively. I started with very basic circuit and fewer components and  kept adding more stuff as I learned. I was not able to meet all of my goals because without realizing the scope of things. I had planned on a camera taking image of the person who enters and sending it to my phone. I was able to realise IFTTT and used it to send message but could not work out the image thing yet. With further learning I get in the course, I am confident I would be able to incorporate much more advanced stuff as well.
