Relatively slow week as I’ve been sick for the last few days. Not having classes will provide some much needed R&R to catch-up and get ahead of the work we need to do for the rest of the semester. I don’t have the Pi so an end-to-end system will have to wait until next week.
I decided that our debug gui would just be a svg image generated by python-chess. The board doesn’t need anymore complexity and python is a language that we all should be able to write in. Our gui would just need to loop at 60 hz to output any change in signal that the ADC read loop would pick up. A 8×8 overlay of voltages is pretty much all we need and I hope to quickly mock this up over the next few days.
Personally, I’m behind were I want to be. Ideally a hello-world would have been completed by this week. Since I’m the most experienced member of the team, it falls on me to hash out the ambiguity of the implementation.
This next week I hope to put a skeleton project together that Chris and I can add to.
