This past week I gave the final presentation, so a good portion of my time was spent working on the slides and preparing for the talk itself. In addition, I’ve finished the haptic unit tests and have made the edits to Ricky’s Bluetooth code. Tomorrow when we are done we will verify that the haptic pulses are synchronized with real-time sign detection when Ricky updates his code with my edits. We decided to implement the haptic feedback this way, because it wouldn’t have made sense for me to download all the ML packages to test this feature that is ideologically separate from the ML detection. This decision saved us time which is good. One issue I had to debug was that when sending a byte signal from the computer, the byte would send over and over again (as verified by debug statements in the Arduino code) and the pulse would happen repeatedly instead of just once. To fix this I had to send an ACK back from the Arduino to signal to the Python code to stop signaling.
My progress is on schedule.
This week, I hope to hash out the script/layout of the final video as well as complete my action items for the final report. We also plan on meeting tomorrow to do a final full system test now that all parts of our final product deliverable are in place.
