I focused a lot on integration this week. For all of the software, I was able to get pretty much the entire pipeline running. The hand detection model is able to be used to generate content on the Jetson. It sends successfully over UDP to the Raspberry Pi, which is able to output data to the LED panels. However, it isn’t super clear whether the data being outputted is correct, as the panel isn’t spinning yet so you only see a single slice of information. I feel like this amount of integration is pretty decent to show for the interim demo.
We also put together a lot of components this week, and some of the integration didn’t go super smoothly. Next week I want to focus on thinking through some of these interactions and possibly redesigning them so that integration feels better/sturdier.
