This week, we worked on preparing for the interim demo. For my part of the project, the interim demo involves getting a correct board state (piece color and position) using the sensors and the firmware. Patrick and I spent many hours debugging and testing the system. The current state is that the board can detect most squares correctly, but there are still a few that are incorrect. We will be debugging the rest of this tomorrow in preparation for the demo.
In terms of progress, hardware progress is on the edge of being a bit late, but assuming we finish debugging the last few issues tomorrow, we should be back on track. If debugging extends, we will be pushing into a bit of testing and slack time. However, the debugging tests do involve some of the tests for accuracy, precision, and power use. Therefore, we may be ticking off other items at the same time.
In the next week, I hope to fully integrate the hardware with the firmware and software.
