Documentation of the wireless color sensor

[Neil-YL]

I’ve completed the first draft of the documentation for the hardware of the wireless color sensor, with step-by-step photos.

Here is the preview link

I will start to work on the video.

Step-by-step assembly guide videos have been added. I think this wraps up the documentation for the hardware.

My plan for the software:

• a simple test program run on PicoW to verify that the sensor can successfully read and output data (add it to the assembly part before closing up the sensor package). I am thinking should I use Thonny to maintain the consistency with course1, or VScode since we need to use Python for OT-2 and Prefect for later set up. Personally I prefer to keep using Thonny and micro-python as in course1 for the PicoW and sensor
• try to obtain repeatable measure with same composition of colors mixture and also see if it can tell the difference between dark colors (say R: 60% Y:10% B:30% and R: 30% Y:10% B: 60%, if not, may consider to dilute base RYB colors)
• Also try testing with the light source pad on the sensor board
• MQTT set up for PicoW
• No needs to set up Prefecr on OT-2, Prefect can include SSH tasks (paramiko) in workflow to connect to the OT-2 and execute protocol code.
• OT-2 workflow (with sensor measurement), also collect some documentations by Opentrons as reference in our doc
• Visualisation of process and matching results

For the later tasks, I don’t have detailed thoughts yet and may add more ideas bit by bit as I proceed. I am welcoming any suggestions or thoughts from your perspective to help refine the plan.

Simple test scripts sound good. You can refer to module 1 tutorial of the hello world microcourse as a prereq if you'd like. Keeping the instructions vague like "run the following MicroPython script using Thonny (or VS Code with the MicroPico extension)" and "here's the expected output/outcome", is fine. You can have the script inline with the documentation for the simple tests or point to an external file.
