This week, I focused on researching the software I will use for the firmware and figuring out how to use PlatformIO. I researched FreeRTOS to learn more about how it works and to understand multi-threads, and whether this would work for our project. This helped me figure out how I want to structure our firmware diagram and how I would do so. With PlatformIO, I spent a lot of time trying to interface it with our ESP32 to display graphics on a screen; it took a lot of troubleshooting, but I was able to upload code to the device (Shown below).
In the upcoming week, I plan to create diagrams for the firmware and how I want to set up multithreading, as well as work on the display and output firmware. Currently, I am off schedule; however, it is only by a marginal amount, which I should be able to make up for in the next week.
