This week I’ve been focusing on integrating the Bluetooth connection module with the emulator mappings. RPi and laptop can now use Python via Bluetooth by sending JSON packets that encode the raw button input format. On the PC side, after receiving the packets, the program can decode the value and maps the keys in JSON to the emulator which presses or releases a button based on the values of the raw button input in the JSON packet. I also updated the README on Github which details how to pair RPi to the laptop.
The next step for this weekend is to continue to work with my team members to integrate the hardware part, especially the button reading section into the program. Once the real button values are encoded in JSON packets and sent to laptop, we will have a full pipeline for interim demo.
