Diagramming Setup – Hardware

I’ve been piecing together parts and the overall building of the table in my mind for the last week or two, and I’ve been collecting some of the low-budget materials. As I mentioned earlier, I have an 18″ LCD (Sony SDM-S81) that is in (sort of) working condition. I still need to work out the details of the body and FTIR frame, so, to help me think through some of that, I quickly drew up a multi-faceted diagram by hand…not particularly neat or well-organized, but I scanned it in anyway. It includes very rough sketches of how things will be laid out in the table, and also parts+suppliers I need. Quite detailed…click on pic to zoom in.

Feedback on my plan is much appreciated and needed! Thanks!

Flex Builder

Ok, so I’ve been flip-flopping between c++ and AS3. I went away from AS3 originally simply because Flash Develop would not run stably on my computer, and Visual C++ Express would. Anyways, I found that Adobe Flex Builder 3 is free for students, and you just need to verify that you are a student or teacher, and you can get it for free. Very nice. It runs nicely on my computer.

Finally going to start learning AS3…now that I have a stable IDE. Don’t know why Flash Develop wouldn’t run – have heard all good things from people about it.
