Team Status Report for 4/10

This week, much of our focus was on the project demo. While we are still awaiting the decoders for our PCBs, we were able to make use of the test breadboard from earlier in the semester. On the software side, we developed a script to showcase touches on this breadboard to create clicks on the screen. While this was a good way to give an idea of how our project works, this week we must try to finish the functionality of single-finger gestures by using state logic to distinguish between clicks and finger slides. We should also try to minimize glitches that occur from LEDs being blocked for only brief moments in time. On the hardware side for the coming week, all we can do is hope that the decoders finally come in. If they do not, we will likely need to start hacking through-hole versions of the decoders onto the board so we can start debugging appropriately, especially since we have started eating into our slack time.
