Hi friends!
Electrical was at our computers all day today as Pawel finished CAD drawings of our channels, Dillon created final drafts of the Arduino and flashing light circuit diagrams, and Aditya and I (Kristi) started researching the code for interfacing the Kinect and Arduino.
There was a little bit of a scare regarding parts that didn't fit, however by brainstorming for a few minutes we were able to come up with an alternative method of attaching our servos that even saved us money.
We found a few sample codes to adapt, so once software sends over their output, we will be able to start testing and coding for real! We were all happy to learn that the coding community is alive and ready to help us with any type of coding challenge.
Because we defaulted back to the Kinect that can only handle two players, we were able to cut half our budget. Hopefully we will not need the wiggle room, but it is helpful to have!
Tomorrow we will be finishing all the preliminary planning and will hopefully start buying things!
