This week our team finalized specific parts we need to complete our project. I sent in my specific requests for the parts I need and I will be waiting for those to arrive in the next week or so. In the meantime, I have been working on our design presentation, and fleshing out the design requirements for the dealer interface I will be writing, and how the game flow for the game state will operate. In the coming days, I plan on polishing the slides for the presentation, and preparing Steve the information he needs to convey.
Patrick’s Status Report 2/27/21
I started this week by presenting our team’s slides for the proposal presentation. The presentation went well and I received great feedback from my peers. After presenting, I looked into the software that I would be working with for the Dealer UI and the game state logic. We decided as a team that the best solution to integrate all components of this project is to use a Raspberry Pi. Using a Raspberry Pi will allow us to centralize all our information, so all of our different Python modules can communicate with each other effectively. For the physical Dealer UI controls, we brainstormed ideas like using keys on a keyboard or even buying a Raspberry Pi touchscreen. We plan on finalizing these decisions in a couple days and placing orders for parts ASAP.

This week we pivoted from using RFID to mainly using CV for our project. I have more background in RFID and less in CV, so this past week I’ve been doing my own personal research and browsing around the internet on the basics on CV so I can familiarize myself with key concepts. I’m planning on focusing more on the software side of things and writing the interface for our product, but it’ll help knowing the basics of CV to connect everything together. Love the way things are going for our project and the pivot we took.
