Software Implementation Phase Complete

The software implementation phase has been completed. Now it is time to move on to the integration and validation testing. By doing unit tests, a few bugs have been found and noted. Some of these are:

1. Application hangs when sending a send/receive message to the controller with the ip, port, or both are set to the wrong address.
2. A problem with socket closing has made the app crash multiple times. Likely not closing correctly in all possible code paths. Currently analyzing a solution.

Likely more will be found in the coming days when more comprehensive testing has been done.

Possible Changes:
1. Slight modification to the UI to allow myself to change ip/port address on the fly. Currently the addresses are hard-coded. This will make demoing the project unfeasable. A fix will be made tomorrow.

More to come as testing commences.......

New Framework/Application Features!!

New Features to be added today:
1. Framework:
- Adding the ability for the user to query the value on an IO Line.

2. Application:
- Implementing a section in the IO Activity to show functionality of IO getValue().
- Adding a timer to show real-time example of AnalogIn functionality. Specifically
a 3-axis accelerometer.
- Adding a section to manually request a temperature value.
- As of now, application receives values which are based on voltages. Will clean up to
give more meaningful feedback.
- Make a decision to keep/remove Digital IO - IN/OUT feature. No sensors to practically
test functionality.

3. More to come.....
