Things went very well this week! we switched board from the PYNQ to the Ultra96. This last minute decision was admittedly a little desperate, but it has really facilitated our project progression. I tried to no avail to integrate MIDI with the Ultra96 this week. However, I am understanding more about the board UART input and should be able to finish this next week.
My todo list for the next week is to: Work through Ultra96 Vitis and Vivado basics, integrate MIDI input with the Ultra96, finish and fab the front panel, and solder many more encoders onto I2C boards.
Currently we are behind schedule, but if I can complete my list, and we can order a pcb, and get started with the oscillators. Then we should be able to finish most of sound synthesis the week after and be back on schedule.
