Lab 0

Due Date: 2024-10-11 23:59:59

Introduction

This lab is intended to get you comfortable enough with soldering so that you can assemble the hardware for course. You will be using this hardware for the rest of the term.

All work will be submitted via MarkDown documents within a gitlab repo. You will be using this repo for the rest of the term. This repo exists on the CECS intranet.

If you aren’t familiar with how to use git, please see the git page for some basic instructions. If you’re not familiar with markdown, please see the technical writing page for some basic instructions.

Tasks

  1. Create a private GitLab repo called iotsec-<CECS> (replace <CECS> with your actual MCECS username) and clone it to your local machine. You will be using this repo for the rest of the term. This repo exists on the CECS intranet, and uses your CECS credentials for authentication. NB: I will only be grading work that is in this repo, and I use a script and the class roster to generate the list of repos. If you don’t name it correctly, don’t add me as a developer or higher (see next step), or don’t put the repo on the correct website (USE THE LINK PROVIDED), you will not get credit.
  2. Add dmcgrath as a member (developer or higher) of your repo. This will allow me to view your repo and provide feedback.
  3. Create a folder within the repo called lab0. This is where you will add documentation regarding this assignment.
  4. Sign up for a timeslot with the EPL to learn to solder. I will be posting the times you can select soon. You may already know how to solder. That’s great. Go anyway. You can help others and get a refresher. You will need to know how to solder for the next lab.
  5. Document what you made and what you learned in the lab. Include pictures of the lab and the final product. This should be included in a markdown file in your repo called lab0.md.

Submission

Once you have completed the above, you should have a markdown file in your repo called lab0/lab0.md that contains all the requested information. Commit and push this to your repo. Also commit and include the requested screenshots. Once you have done this, you can consider the assignment submitted.
