Today we tested out the piezo mics with the frame and decking. By the end of it we found that they worked with program exactly how we wanted them to, and we found that playing the mics right in the middle of the double planks gave the best pick up of vibrations due to the flexing of the wood, which causes the sides to rub against each other thus creating a decent amount of vibration for the piezos.
We finished the screwing on the decking today as well. Tomorrow it would be on to decorating. Huge thanks to Jim as well for giving us an extra pair of hands today for marking things out, taking photos, and helping us move the decking and frame.
We marked out exactly where each plank would go so that when we need to unscrew the decking to put in the circuitry underneath we'd know where it was before.
And this is what it looks like from underneath. A pretty cool view I think.
Everything's going so well it's hard to believe that this is actually happening. Having everything working the way we want it to on the first go has NEVER happened before for me in previous projects so I'm quite amazed with how things are coming along. We even have a good concept to go with it too, which is something I've been struggling with all year I think. For me thinking conceptually is a bit of a challenge, but I won't stop trying and learning.
