Four oDrives, four LEDs Displays, two Raspberry PIs, four bluetooth heartrate sensors, four horses, and a dream;
Current State: You should be worrying about two files: main.py and Matrix.py. On start up, one of the raspberry PIs, which displays the kivy screen, controls the oDrives, and connects to the bluetooth heartrate sensors, runs main.py, while the other raspberry PI, which controls the LED Displays, runs Matrix.py. Packets of information are sent back and forth between RPIs through a DPEA-P2P connection. Learn more information about P2P here.
Useful information:
- Hold the heart rate sensors properly! This might sound self explanatory, but it's still important to keep in mind.
- main.py and files that control the horses/heartrate sensors can be found in the folder HorseRaceGame. Moreover, Matrix.py and files that control the LED Displays can be found folders in LED-Display-Matrix --> bindings --> python --> samples. Learn more information about the LED-Displays here.
