This week I finished the program for LED, now with the input from the image recognition software, we can control the LEDs and light up the grids we need. The code has been pushed to GitHub. Unfortunately, I burned our LED strip during the testing process and need to order new ones. The new ones will not arrive before demo, so I prepared a demo with single LEDs. (For simple turn on and offs, the LED strip can controlled in the same way as simple LEDs.)
I also took a look at the image recognition portion. By taking a picture with several food items in it, the software can recognize what items are they and where they are (the API is very precise). This information can help us locate which grids the items are in and determine which ones to light up.
