Found a good tutorial for wifi xbee lilypad connection

Post 45

Happiness level: 5

Honestly, these past two weeks I was totally burn out from the previous ('final' visit from the industry expert) and had to recuperate. I did not progress as much but found out that:

a. The lag in the IIS is not caused by my coding, but by how un-powerful the machine I'm using is. I might have to carry my desktop there. Great.

b. Still have to merge two scripts into one because the serial can't read the ports if I just switch pages like that.

c. Have to solve the latency and clearness of the videos played during the experience.

d. There's a bug where there is no delay time when the person is inactive. It glitches and the idle video comes on and off.

e. The wifi module, I could do it with this tutorial. I need another dongle to test tho. And I do not want to spend another SGD39 on something which I would use just for a day.

f. I might just end up with one glove because I'm already over budget. Unless an unknowing angel is willing to sponsor the other one, which would obviously increase the epicness level of the project.

g. I'm starting to design the glove and improve its appearance. I cut half a bottle and am going to  tape over a strip of tape where the led would show brightest and use it as a stencil while I spray the rest of the bottle black. That way the light would be distributed and it would appear to be a long line instead of just a little round bulb.

h. I have to decorate the space. With alot of white mounting boards.
