This week on the physical chess pieces and board, I laser cut a few chess pieces out using frosted acrylic, and the top piece of the board using plywood. This is sufficient for initial testing of cv, the remaining pieces of the board can be cut out anytime after we have finalized all the physical electrical components and know the exact volume we need to hold all the parts. Also since we might need to change the design of the chess pieces later to increase board state detection accuracy, I didn’t cut out the full set of pieces, just 4 for each player for cv testing. The parts are not with me but I’ll update images once I get a chance.
I also worked on the cv part, wrote more code for it, and will began testing next week. I am a little behind schedule on this part, as we changed our design a little last week and just got to manufacture the pieces, but I will catch up next week on this mainly.
I will also need to design the holder for the phone camera to be fixed above the board next week.
