Journal Entry #14- Reflection of second workshop

At the beginning and in the first workshop, I had a lot of complications with transferring the data, since it was unable to read the data. I have therefore placed in new batteries and was able to transfer the data more easily and accurately. Luckily the batteries were the issue and for the four people in the second workshop, I was able to transfer their data.

I then decided that i should have at least 5 sets of data, therefore I also measured the energy efficiency in my household. Now for my final project report I will have five sets of data.

The workshop worked really well, everybody was attentive and quickly new how to use the data instrument. i reminded every student every day not to forget to measure the instrument, which helped the people to measure more accurately over the 24 hour period. Overall, my workshop was very effective ;)!

Journal Entry #13- My second workshop

A couple of days ago I had my second workshop with four other classmates. Again, I can say that it was a very attentive group who will measure 6 different instruments over a time period of 9 days. I have also for this group started to remind them every day, to make sure I have accurate data in the end. Here are some pictures of what it looked like:

Journal Entry #12- Reflection of first workshop

After now having completed the first workshop already, I have now transferred the data onto my laptop.

Using an SD card which was inserted into the laptop, I was able to transfer the data onto my laptop. Unsing a self-instlling program, the data can be analyzed using graphs within the program. For me personally, this was a completely new experience since it was the first time I had ever used this program. At the beginning, I had a lot of complications with transferring the data, since it was unable to read the data. The data that appeared on my laptop was unable to transfer into the program. Sometimes the data did not transfer onto the laptop, and sometimes the SD card would not work.

I have then decided to re-visit the Technische University Berlin, to talk to a professor, however he was also unable to find the issue. Later that evening, she called me to tell me that the Batteries might have been the problem. I have therefore placed in new batteries, however had to take into account that all other data from the first workshop was lost.

I now hope that the second workshop will be better and that due to the new batteries in the instrument, the data is able to transfer in the second workshop.
