This week, I worked on designing the reset mechanism system and gathering all the moving parts that would feed into the system. In addition to refining this subsystem, I began integrating a Raspberry Pi as the primary controller for communicating with the STM32 via UART. The goal of this setup is to reliably transmit the full 32×32 pin array data, ensuring low-latency, error-tolerant communication between the two devices.
To move toward this, I configured the UART interface on both the Raspberry Pi and STM32 and started developing a structured data-packet format to handle the larger pin-array payloads. Looking ahead, I am planning to build a GUI system on the Raspberry Pi to make the user interface cleaner, more intuitive, and maintainable. This GUI will eventually allow users to interact with the depth camera more intuitively and edit and send the 32×32 pin configurations seamlessly. It would also ideally control the reset mechanism as well.
This Thanksgiving break, I am planning on working on the presentation slides as well.
