today was mostly about connecting the hardware with the PC and making the whole bridge actually usable. the UI side was already working but getting Arduino and Python to talk properly and now the deck can actually trigger apps on the computer instead of just opening test screens.

• fixed a weird glitch where apps were automatically closing or returning back to the home screen after a few seconds even when i was not touching anything

• increased the touch sensitivity by tuning the MINPRESSURE value so random touches are ignored and only proper presses get detected

• built the first working Arduino to Python bridge so touch events from the TFT can directly control apps on the PC nd fixed touch mapping and serial communication bkzz wrong apps were opening due to incorrect touch coordinates and unstable data

• tested different app launch methods for Windows until browser apps desktop apps and installed apps all started opening correctly from the touchscreen

now the deck can actually trigger apps on the computer instead of just opening test screens.
(by the way ignore that poor flickering display recording🙃)
