Worked a bit on the aerialometer project today, but it pivoted a bit from the original goals. Today we were looking at how to visualize the position of a phone instead of using prerecorded data. This was partly because we weren’t sure if we trusted the data from the aerialometer, but involved a lot of concepts:

• Set up a monorepo using NPM – now there are two projects in the repo; a controller app which collects data from the device (a phone) and a display app which receives data from the controller and visualizes it
• Learned how to use peer.js to connect the two apps together so the data can be appropriately visualized
• A note for the future: currently, the display app is not using Typescript and was set up using create-react-app, which is apparently deprecated. It’d be better to use vite to install react as that’s the latest and greatest. Maybe something for me to do separately.
