Day 16 - Alex's Journal

We figured out how to make the code run much faster today! We finally realized that we had been using the processor's lowest speed setting. With the processor on its highest setting the code runs in only a few microseconds (1 microsecond = 1/1000 of a millisecond = 1/1000000 of a second). This is incredibly fast! Also we decided to make a clear backing for the guitar so that you can see all of the wiring inside it. We are making it out of Plexiglas. We are also making a case that will contain the PCBs with sensors on them and will allow them to slide from side to side so they can be adjusted for different TVs.
