Tuesday:

• Shortened signal wires to strain gauges so more of the wire is shielded
• Strain Gauge came loose on second sensor stick had to redo it.  Did not use enough silicone to hold the connections in place
• Found out glut is event based.  Need to either use standard GL libraries or freeglut.

Wednesday:

• Finished repairing second sensor stick
• Started putting the whetstone bridges on a board so I wouldn’t have to worry about the wires coming loose all the time
• Had trouble finding GL Headers and libraries.  Found out that they are in the Windows SDK.
• Cold solder doesn’t conduct well.  Connections need to be well seated on the board.
• Saw that freeglut is still supported and was updated as of November 2009.  Going to give it a try since I am having trouble with the standard GL libraries and from the description freeglut is designed to replace glut because glut is no longer supported and outdated.  Freeglut supposedly can be used in a non event based way.
