Making the updates over the air (OTA)

A project log for MiniSoul

A pocket-sized companion with a little inner life. It senses your touch, grows a personality, and shows how it feels.

I've been working on MiniSoul with a deadline 10 days out, and I'm falling behind since I'm not getting enough time for it. Every small window of free time, I'm putting toward it.

Once I hand MiniSoul over, I can't change the hardware, but I can always update the software, as long as I build in the ability to update the firmware. That's what I focused on over the last week.
I know I won't catch every bug at once, and I might not ship every improvement I want. But this gives me peace of mind.If something breaks, I can fix it with a new release.

Here's a small visualization of how the flow works, made with Claude which gives a pretty good picture.
