Flowcharts and mo' charts

This is a flow chart displaying how our project works, kind of like a "Verse for Dummies".

Click the image to view it in full size... This is so complicated, but at least visually its a bit easier to understand.

Also, what happened today with texting, according to Nathan:

"so as new texts come in they fade onto the book page! its not as nice as typing out however we can't use javascript, which makes the typewriter effect, and load a text file from a computer. So with a bit of tutorial reading, copying and modifying Cam and I managed to use AJAX to load the text file and animate the latest SMS sent to our phone and adding to our previous SMS's :) Now the tough part is getting the pages to "turn" when the page fills up."

sensor this! nkgbnjnsjsbnso...

Alrighty, a little week recap...

Rose and I have been working on our book... but then Cam and I found a book that was already bound with way more pages... so much better... so Rose and I made it look OLD!



Tuesday I ordered the pressure sensors from HVW, got them Wednesday, and Thursday we tried setting them up in class. NOT as easy as I thought. I set up the breadboard and then programmed the basic stamp with a simple analog input code. The sensor was SO all over the place--throwing numbers from the 200s to 1600s for sensitivity. ACK! So Monday we may try to figure it out, tweak it and suck, y'know.






More to come...

Crit on Thursday...
