This week, I conducted research on how to interface with Windows to register our screen taps as mouse clicks. I have begun exploring different Python libraries and have narrowed down our choices to the following:
- pywin32
- PyAutoGUI
- mouse
As of right now, the main focus is to create demos to test each library and compare their performance, ease-of-use, and compatibility. Originally, I was going to create a simulation to test different configurations of our original analog design, but as we have updated our approach, this was no longer necessary, which allowed me to get ahead of schedule and move to this step. This weekend, in addition to developing the demos for each library, I plan to create an interface that would allow us to switch between each library, allowing for easier integration with my team’s code as we test out our screen control software and decide on which library is best.
