Jasons’s Status Report for 2/10/2024

In the first part of this week, I spent time preparing for the proposal presentation, which I gave on Monday. On the hardware side, I was a part of the discussion surrounding the main body of the project. I also 3D printed a prototype gear + rail system for rotating the main body. I looked into cameras and camera drivers that would work in conjunction with the Raspberry Pi 5. I spent most of my time this week on a fully-functional software implementation of UNO. Here is a link to the repository I’ve been developing in. I designed the OOP structure to be intuitive and easily extendable. The current implementation is around 450 lines of code. I am currently on track with our original Gantt chart, as the UNO implementation was scheduled for this first week. This next week, I’m hoping to begin work on the CNN card classifier and start creating a labeled dataset composed of pictures from a Pi camera. If that is delayed, I found a general-purpose UNO dataset online to begin testing the model.
