Interface and Application Programming
I realized around this point that coding is something I am not the best at.(Which I knew since the beginning since I never touched it before) But I wasn't sure what to make for this week. With some direction from TA Claire I decided to do a visualizer for sound waves in a plot.
Using a example from https://makersportal.com/blog/2018/2/25/python-datalogger-reading-the-serial-output-from-arduino-to-analyze-data-using-pyserial I was able to get an idea of how I would use python to get some sort of interface from an input on my board.
Following how he did the code for the serial read and how he went about making the datalogger and plotting it.
After connecting it to my RP2040 and my microphone I tried to see if it was collecting data, but I was unsure what was going wrong, or how to use matplotlib to open the plot. With there not being the normal office hours this week I decided to wait until office hours began again. It seemed as though maybe my microphone I made stopped working and I ended up not finding time to remake it.
