AURORAE
AURORAE System Architecture Overview
This document provides a high‑level overview of the AURORAE system, describing how modular boards, sensors, lighting, communication, and firmware interact. It serves as the foundation for firmware, hardware, and interaction design.
1. System Components
- Modular board units
- Microcontroller (MCU)
- Lighting subsystem (LEDs, drivers)
- Sensor subsystem (touch, proximity, motion, etc.)
- Communication subsystem (wired or BLE)
- Power subsystem
- Game logic engine
2. Data Flow
Full pipeline description:
- Sensor input → MCU processing
- Lighting control updates
- Game logic state transitions
- Board‑to‑board communication
- Optional BLE communication to host device
3. Firmware Architecture
- Sensor polling loop
- Lighting control module
- Game logic engine
- Communication protocol handler
- Power management
4. Hardware Architecture
- Modular connector layout
- Power distribution
- LED driver placement
- Sensor placement
- MCU + peripheral routing
5. Interaction Design Integration
- How lighting + sensors create gameplay
- Timing considerations
- Multi‑board synchronization
