- Checked with the receiving desk to see if our parts had arrived. They have not yet been approved and will probably arrive sometime next week hopefully!
- Until then, we wanted to get our Pi-Pi communication established and process keystrokes using pygame.
- Set up a client server model and successfully got a TCP connection setup between the two and sent messages from the client Pi (Sandy) to the server Pi (Sam). Next we should try the reverse, try receiving larger messages, and come up with a set of commands. Pi-Pi communication seems to be in control.
- Also, used pygame to read keystrokes (which we want for testing manual mode to control motor on other side).
- Important thing with pygame: event processing worked and processing get_pressed() didn’t for some reason. Also, the display (game console thing) is necessary to get keystrokes because the keystrokes are to the display and not to our machines.
- Once we have motors we will be able to start controlling them and in parallel, figure out the gesture detection ML models.
- Also, emailed Professor Savvides asking whether our CNN idea would be good enough for our use case or if we should consider using SVN or something else.
- Went through our peer feedback and began outlining topics we need to write about in our design review report (due Monday midnight).
- Also, set up a private git repo and made sure everyone could commit and push to remote from both Pis.
