Misc. thoughts

Programming! The processing for this application is going to be very complex. It's one thing to get brightness values to come across into the program and display on screen, but it's another thing to freeze those values on screen as one moves through the image. Also, since the values we have been getting from the photocells fluctuate quite a bit, we'll need to incorporate some averaging in there.

Frame construction Building the camera cell patch navigation system is going to be somewhat difficult.. at least to fine tune.

Multiplexors Though I have faith that we can figure them out, none of us have worked with multiplexors before. We have 64 analog ins, so they are definitely necessary. Tom went over them in class last week, which was helpful in that it gave us a foundation to work from.

Light focus Will we need a lens? remains to be seen.

Cell patchAre we using perf board for this? We could, ostensibly, use any material as long as each cell is insulated away from the rest. For some reason I keep having a vision of using something more malleable..like silicone. Not sure why this is my vision..let's discuss at the meetup tomorrow.
