Melodee’s Status Update for 4/25/20

Melodee’s Status Update for 4/25/20

Progress

Early this week, Eric and I debugged the firmware to the point that it was demoable for our Wednesday demo. There were still a few bugs we had to fix, however, that led to the compilation working correctly around 50% of the time (sometimes, tiles would report incorrect encodings, and other times, some tiles would be missing in the final topology). We spent the rest of the week trying to fix the bugs. We have yet to get the firmware reliably working.

For Wednesday’s demo, we also prepared 7 tiles and several syntax pads. For our final demo video, we hope to complete more tiles and syntax pads.

On Saturday, we drafted our final presentation, which we plan to refine and rehearse on Sunday.

Schedule

We have a week to finish debugging the firmware and construct the remaining tiles and syntax pads. We also don’t have a master tile yet (we have been burning master firmware onto a regular slave tile), so we will have to make that.

Goals for next week

  • Finish debugging firmware
  • Create master tile
  • Construct remaining tiles and syntax pads
