I've decided to design and manufacture a custom circuit board, as I don't really trust the wiring on the PCB I put together last year (too many loose/exposed wires). This has taken much longer than expected, so I've had to put this element on hold for the past nine months or so. When I have more time, I will complete the circuit board and begin testing.
On the programming side, I have been conducting some research and experimentation. Over the past several months, I have learned a lot about Python's OpenCV library, experimenting with webcam-based gesture recognition in the process. Additionally, I have been looking for ways to implement Reinforcement Learning (RL) in Pybrain using a neural network. No success yet, but I haven't given up!
I have exams right now, so I will not have time to work on the StIRLing Project until afterwards. However, these will be over in a month or two, so I should have more time available. I am still keen to finish this project, I just haven't had time to work on it.
