Progress!

So it has been a fruitful past couple of days... Thursday I got my accelerometer working (I had used the wrong 3.3V regulator datasheet and hooked it up wrong) and Friday I spent the whole day getting the projector part working. I had to rewire and resauter since the original wires were brittle and breaking! Once I got everything hooked up, it was a great feeling... The resolution was better than expected and the brightness factor seems to be OK since I replaced the original projector bulb w/ a extra bright Xenon bulb. I hooked it up to a security camera to get video input and check the image quality.

Here are some pics:





Next step is to get the projector into a temporary housing made from foam core so I don't have to hold all the parts to see a projection. I just picked some up from Pearl Paint today. This weekend, I am programming the interactivity in Director to work with the accelerometer.
