I spent the beginning of this week working together with David to get our signal generation working on the Pico. We spent a lot of time working with the oscilloscope in Techspark to ensure that both are carrier frequency and our PWM were being generated accurately enough for our protocol. We did some initial testing around with the IR receiver hooked up to the oscilloscope to get an idea of the distance and directivity, both of which are looking good for our purposes.
Later in the week I started working on our code for parsing the output of the V2T. The V2T software simply returns a string of the ongoing message, so we need a way to accurately and efficiently parse that string to determine the newly added words that we need to transmit. We also need to do this in a way that is resilient to the V2T model updating its prediction for previous words.
I am right on schedule, if not a little bit ahead of schedule.
Next week I will be continuing to work on our V2T processing and getting it to a point where the V2T and the Pi can be connected to the Pico side of our system. I also plan to start working a little bit with David on our signal decoding software as well.
