The first week of working on the ARMtech Capstone Project consisted of Project Understanding and Set up. For set up I worked on Setting up the Microsoft Teams for our team to send larger files on as well as set up Jira Tasks for our team to complete.

The library chosen for the display was SFML , a cross platform graphics and audio library compatible with C++.  The desired demo was designed to show how the code can produce an animation on screen while simultaneously listening for user input (mouse click), thus giving credence that the final program can display the handle position and listen for motor updates .  Beginnings of the demo were mostly learning details of C++ like h files, pointers, and classes, with the first output being very simple and static. After research of the documentation, testing, and development, the...
