Getting the tech needs for this project was no easy task. Anyone who has worked on technical projects knows that if you expect something to work, it will not. Gotta love Murphys Law. The tech team encountered this on multiple levels throughout the project. One example of this was getting 2 LilyPads to talk to each other. This was necessary in order to meet our project specifications of using 12 motors. After setting up the LilyPads correctly, we could not get communication to last longer than 20 seconds. We started checking forums to see where we might have gone wrong and it turns out that this is a common issue and the problem is in the way the software implements the process. As a result of this shortcoming, we stumbled into a happy mistake. Instead of using 12 discrete frequency bands, we could use 12 motors on 6 frequency bands to create a more powerful sensation.
Most people who have worked on technical projects also know that you often stumble across happy mistakes. Team Thumping Threads embraces happy mistakes.
sincerely,
the tech team: rishi and matt
