This week our team standardized the development environment we will be working in. This included properly setting up WSL2, Visual Studio, and all other dependencies we will be using at the start of this project. From there we were able to create a basic OpenCV program that used edge detection algorithms to identify pins from pictures of canon plugs that were found online. We received great feedback from our liaisons when demoing this program and are excited to keep developing.

On that note, we received all the equipment needed to continue development. This includes canon plugs from CAE, the endoscopic camera, and multimeter probes. The next step is to continue developing our computer vision (with OpenCV) system for data collection and to start implementing the convolutional neural network. We are brainstorming ideas of how to implement this system with our continuing work on the Concept Search and Systematic Exploration document.
