This week, my primary focus was on testing and debugging the microphone integration within our Raspberry Pi setup. I dedicated significant time to troubleshooting the microphone functionality issues encountered when executing our code. This involved meticulously reviewing error logs, verifying hardware connections, and running numerous diagnostic tests to pinpoint the problem. Additionally, I explored different software configurations and settings to identify compatibility challenges with the microphone.
In parallel to the debugging process, I worked extensively on refining our existing codebase. The goal was to enhance compatibility and ensure greater stability when running directly on the Raspberry Pi. This refinement process included optimizing performance, addressing potential memory usage concerns, and ensuring that our code efficiently interfaces with the hardware. The improvements made this week will set a solid foundation for the upcoming integration work.
Despite the encountered difficulties, our project remains on schedule. Through careful evaluation, we concluded that pivoting to a hardware setup utilizing a single sound card for both the speaker and microphone would be beneficial. This decision should simplify integration significantly and resolve the compatibility issues previously faced. Next week, I will specifically focus on testing and integrating this revised speaker/microphone configuration, which should maintain our progress and help us stay aligned with our overall project timeline.
