Events

The EPICS team will attend a poster presentation event on Monday, February 18, 2019. The poster presentation will be a chance to network with casual attendees as well as technically knowledgeable individuals with a background in engineering. This is also a chance to improve presentation skills and get people excited about the project.

IBM Microscope

The Raspberry Pi running a lensless microscope provided to the team by IBM has been tested and confirmed to be fully functional. An account has been created on IBM’s Watson cloud. Current testing is being done to ensure that communication from the Raspberry Pi to the cloud is working properly. A minor setback in this part of the project is that Wi-Fi must be used and water naturally absorbs the radio frequency at which Wi-Fi operates. There are several solutions to this being developed and the team is confident this problem can be overcome without too much difficulty.
