Phidgetsum Endjinn

For the last 2 weeks i have been working with the phidget coding to link the accelerometer to the ball, this was beset by a number of  problems some to do with my systems and some to do with the phidget. Firstly my little old laptop couldnt even run UDK which meant i had to use my main computer to create the code, this gave me very little portability while i was working. Secondly i was using Visual Studio 2010 which has some backward compatibility issues just to make it a little more complicated (why did you have to do that Microsift, WHY???) this made it even more of a nightmare because only the dll file was portable not the whole project. :(

The other major problem ive encountered so far is with the Phidget, namely there isnt one spare. Im having to borrow the one from another group to work with, this is proving tricky and has given me the phidget for a grand total of 4 days in 2 weeks, this is not good, i cant properly test the system without it.

Hopefully something can be sorted out will have to talk to Steve.
