In the beginning of this week, I prepared for the final presentation and presented on Monday. Throughout the week, Amelia and I met to work on finalizing our integration between the RTL and the PCB. We were running into issues with our rotor settings (using the buttons and rotary encoder on the PCB). This took a lot of trial and error since it was hard to pinpoint what exactly was going wrong (the PCB itself, the individual modules, or their integration). We had made sure to test everything individually beforehand, so finally we realized the issue was the buttons on the PCB, since our implementation worked fine when we used the buttons on the DE-10 instead. We realized this was because we did not have any pull up or pull down resistors on the PCB. However, Amelia was able to work around this by having the buttons depressed while rotating the rotary encoder.
This upcoming week, we will finalize our poster, video, and report. I will also make sure we can demonstrate the RTL working on its own on the other DE-10 for demo purposes.
