Due to this week being Thanksgiving break, we were mostly out of town. However, we’ve still made some progress. A notable advance was figuring out why the IMU wasn’t working – a clock stretching error occurred when the BN0055 was connected to the RPi over I2C. This has thus far been solved by decreasing the baud rate from 100kHz to 1kHz, and we are looking into various other solutions.
We had to sacrifice our plans for including an LED strip, as unfortunately the RPi does not support the use of the AUX output along with the strip, and we felt that the audio feedback would be a more valuable point for the experience (and the project).
Otherwise, we are working on getting our communication chips and display up and running – integration will be down to the wire but all our physical pieces are in place.
