Start: 9:00.

  • Showed Clift the prototype.  He liked it.
  • Figured out what was causing the index and thumb to short out when pushed at the same time.  One of the amp lines had the polarity of the capacitors reversed.
  • There are some sound quality issues.  I will try tinning the leads tomorrow to see if it just a weak connection
  • Figured out part of the quality issue is some of the fingers had their input lines reversed.
  • Another thing to look into tomorrow is if the quality is bad simply because it keeps getting noteOn commands.  The pervious better sounding sketch made sure it only did this on initiation.
  • Worked on building up the communication stuff.  Realized that I was only able to send one struct at a time, so I added a loadBuffer method so that I can send all at once.  Before the buffer was in the main now its part of the commgr class.  The DataDictionary import method seems like it should work as is because it should continue parsing the buffer til it hits a null.
