Essie’s Status Report for 10/3/2026

Accomplishment:

  • Built scan_limit.py (frequency-dependent alias-free steering-angle math) and display_output.py (a display-backend abstraction; for now using laptop cv2 today, pynq.DisplayPort once hardware arrives), both wired into the live pipeline.
  • Added 19 passing automated tests across 4 test files ( test_display_output.py, test_scan_limits.py, plus the two existing suites, still green).
  • heatmap.py : Fixed rendered detection to match the real view with 105 degrere FOV. Verified against existing test suites with no regressions, and visually confirmed in rendered output.
  • Presented for the design review on Wed.

Schedule Status:

on track

Planned for next week

  • Get answers on the data interface contract and start the mock-to-real data swap.
  • Test the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable against the actual LCD screen.
  • Start the Design Trade Studies section and BOM entries for the written report.
