Meeting Agenda:
1.    This meeting is to connect the raspberry pi’s to the VNCviewer
2.    Finalize all the software downloads, setup the 48 router CISCO 3550 switch

Discussion and Notes:
In this meeting we wanted to verify the raspberry pi stacks are working. The time-consuming task of installing the Raspbian software to each raspberry pi devices will take time. Therefore, going back to deciding to work on one stack for now can be seen as a wise decision. Sofian was tasked with connecting the unfortunately long ethernet cables to the ethernet ports to the raspberry pi devices. Rahul was tasked with installing the 48-router switch. We thank Mr. Wesam for obtaining the converter from the VGA to USB to setup the switch. Zahid was tasked with installing the Rasbian software to the raspberry pi devices and verifying the connection through VNCviewer. All these tasks are very time-consuming so best plan is to finish what we can and work on this after the presentation. 

Next meeting action items: 
1.    Get the switch working to connect one stack for data generation 
2.    Be able to generate BACnet data that is very vital for machine learning techniques we plan to use next semester
