MORE RHINO PROGRESS...
so far so good with rhino! i never thought i would say this, but i am mildly enjoying the program ... (granted, its probably because ben and liz is here whenever something gets terribly confusing)
so it is to my understanding that each layer of cutting has to be saved in an individual file to be routed out. so from the original rhino sketch i broke it down into three individual files.
SOME OTHER CONSIDERATIONS.
-we are considering painting the entire board a high gloss black, which, i am fond of initial but upon further reflection am not sure how to make the text clear to read... however...nother contrasting color should be an easy enough fix.... we shall see...
-LED colors used for the light scale are red (oil) orange (natural gas) yellow (coal) green (alternative) while the color scale may boarder on cliche, the idea is to make as clear and cohesive as possible, using colors such as blues and greens or purples and pinks do not have the same color association as the yellow to red spectrum (similar to the color code system used for terror alerts). So, rather than viewing it as cliche, its an established color palette for the issues we are addressing.
DIGI-INFO
Ben has been plugging away at trying to figure out get the most from the dweenies, in considering multiplexer/demulitlexers. this is order to increase the amount of info being received and processed by the micro-controllers : delightful. because this is an an analogue input to the boards, we need to get analogue multiplexers to disperse this info. to the LEDs. so there are 48 photo resistors and 40 LEDS that should theoretically work in a grid like pattern to send and receive the codes so that way the the LEDS correspond to the assigned photo resistor.
