Darwin Torres’ Status Report for 4/10

This past week, I helped the team in preparing our interim demo. The integration of subsystems B and C has been going well so far, so Matt and I designed some visual tests to showcase in the demo. Unfortunately, our decoders have not arrived, so subsystem A has yet to arrrive, but we were able to perform some initial “physical” testing with a breadboarded circuit. This allowed us to test our code that sends signals to the LEDs and processes signals from the photodiodes. Tests were successful, and we were able to set up a simple demo showcasing how interacting with the LEDs results in onscreen manipulation through emulated touch inputs. It was good to know that my code had integrated well with Matt’s. There are still a few bugs and problems present, most notably with the precision of our setup, but it will be hard to measure this accurately until we have the PCB completed. In terms of my software-related tasks, I am on schedule. Unfortunately, we have delays with the hardware, but we should be up to speed soon. Next week, Matt and I will work together in debugging our code. Once the decoders arrive, we will work together in completing the PCB so we can test subsystem A and get it ready for integration with our software. If I have extra time, I will start investigating multi-finger functionality within Windows.
