This week we made significant progress on all fronts. The Micro <-> Due bus has been completed, and rotational gyroscope data for pitch and yaw have successfully been used to drive numeric MIDI signals. We also managed to establish a two-way serial connection between the Jetson and the Due, but only within minicom. A docker issue with the Jetson prevented us from testing the Serial connection with our CV data, but we managed to fix the issue so we can now begin testing that bus. We also started polishing the translational and rotational data from the accelerometer and gyroscope. The output for both measurement types reads as much smoother now, and we are excited to begin testing translational movement. Finally, we made significant progress on the final Max patch for our synthesizer.
As of now we’re slightly behind schedule, but not worryingly so. This week we expect to be able to have a functional prototype ready to test. Thankfully we have all begun individually testing our subsystems so the integration tests should not take bark long. Once we finish integrating the Jetson <-> Due bus we can focus entirely on testing and improving our subsystems to meet our goals, which should get us back on schedule.
This week we intend to finalize the glove design and assemble a writing prototype. We also intend to fully integrate the system and start testing it with our Max synth. We will start doing accuracy and latency tests for the system as a whole and begin making adjustments to try and meet our metrics.
