Xiao’s Weekly Status Update 03/18/2023

This week I have been focusing on hardware building. Following last week’s experiments with the battery module, now I have got it working with complete python API for charging status, charge level, and so on. Charging is via USB-C and so far works as I expected.

Additionally, I 3D printed a test case for a 4×4 button matrix and wired it up. Code has been written with python, which stores the buttons’ status in an array that’s updated with every button press.

At the time of writing this status update, I am working on wiring up the gyro and potentiometer and ADC. Expected to be finished this weekend.

If all these features are implemented during this weekend, then we’re still on schedule. If for any reason hardware implementation takes too long, I think we’ll reconsider whether it is necessary and viable to design a custom PCB, or do we just use hand made wiring.
