Right now our biggest risk remains the communication protocol. Given the challenges we have experienced with using Ethernet, we have decided to switch gears from Ethernet to serial communication using UART. This will come with a performance drop, but it gives us much better chances of actually having a working product. This past week, Grace and Ali implemented half of the UART protocol and tested in simulation. They will continue implementing the protocol this upcoming week, with the goal of having a working protocol on the FPGA by Thanksgiving break.
Meanwhile, Xiran has begun working on the output GUI. We also have a new schedule made for the demos this past week, attached below for reference. Until Thanksgiving break, Grace and Ali will work on UART, while Xiran will work on the GUI. We will integrate and work on the report after.
