Art and Sound

Tom was extremely helpful in helping us figure out our serial connection problems. From what we can see the computer we were trying to use just doesn’t output enough power or current to the Logochip in order for it to respond to commands from the PC.

Besides for this both Tom and John ended up helping us determine how to best control the signals needed to control the DVD players. Tom originally suggested relays but John mentioned that maybe transistors might be an easier route to follow.

After having acquired some transistors and a few resistors from John Chris and myself proceeded back to my place to carry out our mad scientist experiments. Unfortuneately for us we were still unable to communicate to our Logochips through the computer we had setup so we ended up just experimenting with different voltages to activate the transistors and ensure that the signals were getting through to control the DVD player.

Will attempt to control the signals to and from the Logochip using the computer in C-6 tomorrow.
