Figure 7.3.1 Final coding with REST service calls – 8 Project Prototype Testing 8.1 Hardware Test Environment The environment for testing the ACS and its hardware components will initially be done in the controlled environment of the S.M.A.R.T Lab or the Senior Design lab on UCF campus. These are lab environments so there should be a limited number of variables that will cause interference with our testing. Once initial testing has been complete and successful, we will want to rerun the tests in an environment that will be less controlled and more noisy, like that of a machine or wood shop. Each member will be testing separate components of the ACS to verify that accurate and, more importantly, consistent results are achieved. Once all components have proven to be consistently successful in both environments we will then begin full prototype testing. 8.2 Hardware Specific Testing 8.2.1 LCD/Touch screen Testing Objective: Correctly be able to use the 3.2” screen to not only view the embedded computer GUI but also interface with it. Supplies: 3.2 Inch TFT LCD Display Module Touch Screen Compatible HDMI monitor Raspberry Pi DC power supply Preparation: the compatible monitor make sure all drivers needed for the touch screen are installed.
