# Apfelnetzwerk

This document contains the entire portfolio for our project, "ApfelNetzwerk." It presents a solution to the challenges faced by the "Altes Land" region in recent years. \

Below, you will find individual learning goals, reflections, and important details about the project, including the methods used throughout our work.

## Individual learning goal & reflection

**Mikail Killi** \
**Goal:** To improve my documentation and communication skills while expanding my technical knowledge regarding the hardware we are documenting. \
**Reflection:** Throughout the project, I significantly improved my ability to document technical details clearly and concisely. This process helped me develop stronger communication skills, and I now feel more confident in handling technical documentation tasks. \

**Niklas Wollenberg** \
**Goal:** To learn how to work with REST APIs. \
**Reflection:** By working on the frontend of our project, I gained a solid understanding of effectively using API calls and handling responses. \

**Mika Bomm** \
**Goal:** To program a REST API. \
**Reflection:** Through extensive research and trial-and-error, I successfully built a fully functional REST API capable of managing all supported API calls. \

**Conner Bogen** \
**Goal:** To develop and implement a functional Ad-Hoc wireless network using multiple microcontrollers, enabling efficient communication between devices without the need for a central controller. \
**Reflection:** Through hands-on experimentaion and testing, I successfully built a reliable Ad-Hoc wireless network that allowed multiple microcontrollers to communicate seamlessly. This experience greatly enhanced my understanding of network protocols and microcontroller programming. \

## DIY Problem Definition

The DIY Problem Definition provides a structured overview of the issues we aim to address in our project.

## Empathy Map

The Empathy Map helps us understand the needs, thoughts, and emotions of our user, guiding is in designing solutions that truly address their concerns.

## Walt Disney Method

We utilized the Walt Disney method to brainstorm and evaluate ideas. This process allowed us to explore creative solutions from different perspectives aswell as improving our problem-solving approach.

## Use Case Diagram

The Use Case Diagram visually represents the interactions within our system. It was generated using Graphviz, with a Python library that translates code into the DOT language used by Graphviz.
