- Test Procedures for Sensor Values

Ad Hoc Networking Research "Progress"
It turns out that there may not be sufficient ad hoc networking
expertise here at FAU. We have to rely on our own detective skills to
determine a way to get the android mobile devices to communicate with
each other. A good first step would be to establish a single access
point communication and then evolve the implementation to where the
devices communicate with each other.

Application Modeling
We have kicked off the modeling of the Relative Indoor Firefighter
Locator application. I will make an effort to capture these models in
Microsoft Visio and expand upon them. As of now we have an abstract
implementation of the scenario where the first responder goes prone
for an extended period of time.

Test Procedures for Senor Values
In order to have an idea of the "comfort zones" a first responding
user operates in we will need to test for the typical ranges of
accelerometer values we get while doing the basic motions. The test
procedures will be outlined by Chris while I will concoct a simple
program for capturing and saving those values.

Found a couple of links regarding ad hoc networking on Android which I
will follow up on:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82
and https://review.source.android.com/#change,9714.

Followed the yellow brick road of ad hocery and came across these
guys:

Lately I have been trying something different other than what Bitslice
and chaz said. It involves editing the tiwlan.ini and the
wpa_supplicant file but these files are part of a recovery image that
I am supposed to be able to "push" onto the phone. Unfortunately, the
files need to be "signed" according to the error message. It might be
because I am using the recovery method instead of the fastboot method
or that I am neglecting to do another step in the process. I will take
one of the dev phones home this weekend and make more attempts of
pushing my customized system image onto the phone.
