Soooo I went back to python, building just doesn’t work. Anyways. I’ve done the following here:

Gone back to my python system
Switched to using solely python for the camera code
Switched the UI to take the whole window
Added more controls
Worked on a house/trance mode

In the span of 24 minutes I have implemented a python process for mediapipe. This was surprisingly easy, buttttt I’m getting a buttery smooth 10 frames per second. This is probably fine, but I’ve gotten the idea of using cpp so I will switch.

This is the first devlog! I was actually banned until today, so I haven’t had a chance to log it yet, but here goes:

I used two models to do this - a palm detection one for x and y, and a finger landmark model to determine the number of raised fingers. The landmark one works horribly, and as such I will switch it for google’s mediapipe.

In this project I used AI to write:
The ui - I will redesign it myself, but it was 2 am, and I just needed to test it.

Got it to boot the loader, just gotta get the payload to load now!

For a project like this we first need to learn! The sh1mmer writeup and code is the main source here, but shimboot was also quite helpful. I’ve narrowed down the steps to take to make a bootable shim, and I just have to write the code to do it, and then the payload!
