Project IRI

The goal of the IRI Project was to make a sensor monitoring application. We had to make two programs, a server and a client. Because we don't have a whole laboratory full of sensors at school, we had to simulate the sensors by generating random values within a certain parameter.

The generation of the random values had to be done on the server with a time interval of a few hundred milliseconds and the server needed to store these values. This itself sounds very doable until you realize that we had to simulate over 400 sensors each with aN interval of a few hundred milliseconds and that we had to store all of these values in the memory and not on the hard drive.

Music Creator

The requirement for the Music Creator project was to use a dancing board as an input device for our program. Instead of creating a program where people can dance on, we decided to do the opposite.
