Project implementation design phaze initialized

So, off we go. Today was a lot of talking to and fro about the how the implementation should be designed. Really feel like we got going in a positive direction. Three main areas where analyzed:
  • electronics: How will all the wiring be made? Will we use shift registers? How many LEDs?
  • Non-electronics hardware/Tiles: How should the tiles be constructed to allow construction of as many as 32 tiles in the short time we have for the project? How can it be made robust. Will it look nice?
Conclusions
The idea of how this should be realized is currently this: We first make some experiments on how to best construct single tiles or 2x2 tile sections. Using conclusions from this we try to come up with a scalable solution for 4x4 tile sections (two at most) or maybe smaller if we think that will be too time consuming for the limited time we have.

In the meanwhile, we should try to make a final electronics solution and try to make some small test cases for testing the software. Also, we should come up with a design for the software implementation. Specifically, we should decide on the features the final prototype should have.

After that, it's hammer time!
