This week I started to implement the LED system code to index into the different placements on the board. I had used my previously existing code that was meant for our previous idea of using an Arduino so plan to to transfer my existing logic to the Raspberry Pi 4 that we ordered. Right now, I am able to light up a given number of LEDs at a given position at a given color. In the end product, I will have to translate the computer vision’s FEN string into these 3 parameters. We also finished our Design Presentation, which also let us finish planning for the small details of our project like how the different subsystem will communicate with each other.
My progress is on schedule. This next week, I hope to complete coding and testing the starting and ending sequence. These are the small light up “shows” at the beginning of the game to show the player the different zones like the river and also the end to show which side of the board won. I also hope to get started on the logic to figure out which LED’s should light up which color based on how optimal the move is or not.
