 ## Description
 
-The purpose of this project is to build an interactive robotic arm that plays Rock, Paper, Scissors using a STM32 Nucleo microcontroller and the Rust programming language. It utilizes a Python-based MediaPipe AI model for real-time gesture recognition via webcam and communicates the results to the hardware via UART. The robotic hand is 3D-printed and uses servo motors to physically mimic the 3 possibilities - rock, paper or scissors. An OLED display tracks the score. The system integrates asynchronous Rust (Embassy) for hardware control and an ESP module to enable remote scoreboard access via WiFi.

  - Completed the 3D printing process for the robotic hand
  - Started integrating the electronic components with the printed structure
 
+ ### Week 12
+
+ - I tested the ESP module and the movement of the servos. I encountered some difficulties in making the servos move the fingers properly. 
+ - Initially I planned to use an ESP01 module to simply display the score remotely over WiFi. It was not working great, the connection was sometimes flawed.
+
+ ### Week 13
+
+ -  I found an ESP32 at home randomly, so I decided to try that. At first I connected it to mu phone's hotspot. Because I don't have great mobile data, I switched to Access Point Mode and created a new WiFi Network, RoboHand. 
+ - I built the HTTP server, the player history, the score display. 
+ - I created the connection between the Python script and the ESP32 code. I made the ESP32 receive the gesture and decide what to play (randomly).
+ - The first option was to create a game in which the hand memorises the last moves and based on the previous choices of gesture, it computed the next propobaility. I decided it was too annoying for the user.
+
+ ### Week 14
+
+ - Finalised the connection between ESP32 and STM32. 
+ - Struggled to make all the fingers work properly moslty.

 ## Hardware
 
-The hardware platform of the project is centered around the STM32 Nucleo-U545RE-Q development board, which acts as the main controller of the robotic arm. The SG90 servo motors are used to actuate the fingers of the hand and reproduce the rock, paper, and scissors gestures. A 0.96-inch SSD1306 OLED display connected through I2C is used to show the score and game status. Wireless connectivity is provided by an ESP-01 WiFi module communicating with the STM32 through UART. Gesture recognition is performed on a laptop using a USB webcam or the integrated camera. For prototyping and interconnections, a breadboard and jumper wires are used. The robotic hand itself is manufactured using 3D printing, while the system is powered by a 5V external power supply.
