This week I worked with Rhea to finish the first board. We finalized the button-board to LED-board connection and assembled them. Together we ran modular tests—LED and indexing, the button board, and both together—to check mapping and behavior. I also helped prep for the interim demo and updated the Gantt chart with Rhea.
For the second board, I laser-cut the LED board and two iterations of the button board. I worked with Tanisha to restructure the LEDs and run quick checks (LED pattern and switch-matrix tests). I helped assemble the button and LED boards, setting the dowel height so the buttons press reliably. With Tanisha, I updated Rhea’s mapping code for the second board and tested the full system to confirm it works end-to-end.
Verification of Board Design and Peer to Peer Connection Subsystems:
- LED board tile fit: Place tiles and lightly tilt/tap the board. Pass if tiles don’t slide, are held by the engraved divot, and still lift off easily.
- LED cutout alignment: Check that each cutout lines up with its LED centerline. Pass if alignment error ≤0.5 mm and no LED is occluded.
- P2P connection: Peers connect and stay connected without errors.
- P2P state match: After each action, both peers compute the same state (hash or event log matches).
- P2P ordering/duplicates: Out-of-order or repeated messages are handled once only.
