This week we finished making the card designs and figured out how to print them via the Arduino Uno. Now, having all 52 cards with the corresponding suits, values, and faces, we are able to do more ML training. The printer takes ~20 seconds to print out a single card, so speeding it up will be a part of our next focus in addition to figuring out how to interface it with the Raspberry Pi.
In terms of the camera, we realized that the camera module that we have does not come with a lens, so we currently can only capture blurred pictures. We are looking into ordering a lens, since vision is a key component of our project.
For the Interim Demo (4/3), we hope to be able to have playing card recognition fully functioning as well as our input devices to be operable.
