For this week, we received the RPI accelerator. Jessie spent most of the time working on it and making sure the model was working. We also received our display that will be used during calibration. I spent some time helping Jessie to work with the display. We were attempting to follow the instructions provided but certain libraries weren’t available to download on the RPi OS version we had and it was unclear if they were required. However, after spending some time we were able to figure out how to properly communicate with the display. Jessie then took over again and figured out how to display the camera feed onto the display for use during calibration. As for the web application, I realized that with my limited experience with web applications it would be difficult to create a web application that looks good or is friendly to our users. Thus, I have decided to modify a Django template to serve our users instead. I spent some time looking at the available options and choosing the template that we would like to use. I tried a couple templates at first and tried to stick to using React as well but those templates would not work for me. I was unsure if I was following the instructions for how to compile and run the server incorrectly or if their template was just broken. After spending some time trying to debug the issue I eventually decided to choose a different template to use. Finally, I have settled on a specific template and was able to get it to compile and work. I will and have been making some modifications to it as we only need a simplified version of the template. Currently, we are planning on having 2-3 pages to use so I have been cutting down on the number of pages that we need. I will then be modifying the pages so that one page is the control page (has a button that runs the model code) and a video page that will display the videos. The video page will still require the same video database idea I came up with so the work I did last week should still be applicable.
I would say my progress is still on track. I have decided to speed up the way we are doing our front end design so that should not be an issue anymore. The rest of my time will be spent on the backend design so I am not too worried about the schedule.
For next week, I hope to continue working with the template and implementing some basic functionality that will work with the full-system integration by the end of the week. Right now that is looking like a button that will start recording and a page that stores the videos that we have recorded. As a stretch goal, I will be looking into how we will modify the videos to display the incorrect positions. Shaye has suggested creating a graph and putting that below the video to display the tense playing throughout the video.
