  • I am pretty confident the electronics are working well enough to move to communicating with computer.
  • Reviewed the pc and arduino side classes for data transfer.
  • Passed a string from a sandbox sketch to the computer to refresh my self on how to do this.
  • Got the sensor data to display in my pc console.
  • Considering making a graphical ui for adjusting the instrument and tone of each finger so we can experiment better.  Not sure how hard it is to integrate this into a console application.
  • Looking into how to do this I found you that you can’t simply add a gui to a console app but it can be done in a MFC application.
  • Asked Phil about the GUI.  He recommended FLTK.  (http://www.fltk.org/)
  • I forgot about the thumb and index finger shorting out when used at the same time.  Will have to remember to look into this tomorrow.
