As we finish tweaking our programming, we’ve been testing options for mounting our sensors. After first experimenting with a plexiglass mount, we moved on to velcro (with a temporary lego and K’nex mount). That was too difficult to adjust, so we finally mounted the boards on rails. We’ve ordered sliding racks to mount the rails [...]

Since we have redesigned the control board, we modified the original design by cutting connections and jumpering pins to get it working with the programming. This is only temporary for testing purposes. All of the guitar connections were soldered [...]

As yesterday, we continued modding the control PCBs to work with our current programming.  In addition to that, we finally started routing a path for our sensing circuits.  They will sit on a plexiglass base and be able to slide horizontally to accomidate to differently sized televisions. Pictures from today:
