QR codes solve all this really well. The sensor scans for complete codes only, so no partial inputs. Built in error correction. You can pack hundreds of bytes in a relatively small space. Great!
This system greatly simplifies all the online bits while making unlock codes truly unguessable.
The contract system was a lot of fun. In practice “task list” and “until i said so” were functionally the same. So this reduces everything to “until i said so”. One of my
I haven’t built a test housing for the new electronics but it should be a lot smaller.
Also swaps the rp-2040 core for an ESP32-S3.
Anyway, will keep tinkering and post an update. If there’s a way to greatly simplify
