if (Code == True && Prom)

Today you woke up at 08:30 and met with the guys to work on the project as much as possible before prom.

You started out the morning by testing PoE for the Ubiquiti dishes. By connecting the middle 2 (blue) and the outer 2-right (black) wires to power and ground respectively, you were able to power to Ubiquiti dishes easily. After doing this you crimped an Ethernet connector and looked at the internals of the small network switch you purchased.

While you were working on the networking piece, Liam and Nick were working on fitting the cameras into their pots (for future epoxying). After cutting slits in the plastic and then cutting parts of the PiCamera PCBs and the C920 PCB, you guys were able to fit the cameras inside their molds. You then started working on the code with Josef while Liam and Nick worked on connecting the different parts of the camera. At 12:00 when you left to pick up your flowers for prom, you had still not figured out the networking issues.

After returning home, you worked on the code for around an hour. At 13:10 you headed upstairs for lunch. During lunch you finally figured out a good system for the software. After working for another 30 minutes after lunch you had figured out the software! Now, everything was working. You spent the next hour cleaning up the various different versions of software you had made as well as imaging the BeagleBones' and Raspberry Pis' SD cards.

During this time you Nick left to get ready for prom (around 14:00) while you and Liam continued working and watched Josef play Dalton Chapman's Skyrim Mod (which he created for his Senior Project). At 3:20 you finished with the project and left to get ready for prom...
