This week I prioritized working on using the Raspberry Pi to communicate with the website. While originally I planned to use a REST API to have the Pi communicate with the board, I found that the optimal solution was to create two sets of user accounts on the website. The first set of user accounts would be regular user accounts, and the second set of user accounts would be “Pi” accounts, with each Pi account uniquely corresponding to a board. From that, the user accounts can register a Pi account to tie their board to their user account. Finally, this setup will allow the pi to connect with the user account (and therefore can send moves to the website).
All in all, we are a little bit behind where wanted to be this week, but Thanksgiving break will give us ample opportunity to catch up!
