For this assignment we start a new gadget but we also worked on polishing our Stoplight gadget. The main thing we had to do is to give a user choice on what size the image is shown. This was the solution we came up with since we couldn't get the scalable image working within the gadget. Some other things we did was to add a 'title' input to personalize the gadget. We also had to a few typos and completed information to our gadget and our project hosting site's user guides, which Robert pointed out.
In conjunction with polishing the Stoplight gadget, we also are to create a new gadget that retrieves data from Wattdepot. Wattdepot is an electric database that we used for last semester's projects such as the Oscar web applications and the resulting Ecologineers web application. This gadget retrieves information from a source and displays a set of data which can be anything from current power use to overall power consumption. These are information are displayed after filling out the required information such as the source, refresh rate, and the type of data. The main information that is to be displayed consists of the power (kW) and a time stamp of the current refresh and the the last checked.
