Felipe status report 4/4/2026

This week saw the creation of the basic Bluetooth screen that allows the app to connect to local devices.  Once connected users should be able to send some basic example strings to the device for printing.  This should serve to prove that data can be sent over Bluetooth from a computer to a board.  Next steps would be sending the schedule json as a series of bytes for the device to interpret, which should be done by Wednesday afternoon, assuming testing of current Bluetooth features goes well.  These tests will be simple, just connecting to a device and seeing whether the data is transferred in a timely manner.  The long string, which is the entirety of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The raven”, should be long enough to simulate large schedules the device will be expected to handle.  Overall I feel as I am on pace and should finish the bones of the app by next week and be able to move to improvements based on user review.  Again, currently the app looks fairly bland, but will be updated with better theming once features are confirmed.
