I haven’t been able to post much lately. With work and writing my first multi touch app. I have been swamped. I have to finish my how to. If all goes well I might have time this weekend to do it. I still want to finish my DI set-up. Want I’m going to do with that is totally rebuild it. Add more IR LEDs for daylight use and get the wide angle lens for the web cam. After that it will be 100 % done and the rest will be cosmetic. The color I pick is a Black for the exterior of the table. I might use Plexiglas for the sides and use a black cardboard underneath it with my graphic. This way it will be almost air tight and can be wiped clean if need be. Well thats what I have going on right now. So bear with me and maybe this weekend I can finish the How to.

Hey guys,

I have time today to work on the MT08 today. So I will finish the LEDs. Then start running test on all the apps I have so far. Also will post video and photos today if I get lucky. This MT08 ( multi touch 2008) is 95 % done with the hardware. The look is a different story altogether. I have to paint it still and finish the box. Mainly the bottom and lower sides. Add wheels and Air flow holes. Also add a power strip. As this is just a prototype I will not go too crazy on the look. The next one I build will be top notch. I have a few tricks up my sleeve for that one. So stay tuned today for photos and videos on my MT08 DI set up.

I had a problem w/ my new projector. One day after having the thing upside down and pointing straight up. It started to act crazy. The colors that were projected were flickering and dim. I tryed just about everything. Shutting down the projector trying different setting everything. Then I called Dell what a pain in the ass. I had no service tag. So bottom line no help. Wast of 2 hours. Next I tryed the forums. So I Google the projector w/ the problems I had and started seeing that alot of people were having the same problem as me. So after reading the horror story’s of people w/ a service tag talking to Dell and Dell telling them all to buy a new lamp at $349.00. and it still didn’t work for them. (that sucks) I found a few post about opening up the projector and air spraying the dust out. So I went and bought a can of compressed air at $8.00. Opened up the projector and sprayed out the system. I have to tell you I saw no dust what so ever, but still I sprayed. I put it back together and it worked like new. No more flickering or dim colors. Saved a ton of money too. So basicly all I’m saying is that you should Google your problem before you get rid of your stuff. I was ready to give up on a projector that I paid $500.00 for.

Hello everyone and welcome to my new blog. I ‘m creating this blog for recording my progress on MT. So far I have a DI set up. It has a 36 inch screen across. It is about 2 1/2 ft off the ground. I used MDF board at 1/4 inch. I have a Dell 3400MP projector and I’m getting a fire i board cam. I have 100 IR LEDs at 940nm. I still have to wire them up into 4 sets of 25 in 5 LED arrays. This is powered by a 12v dc wallwart. If all goes well I will have some photos up soon. Stay tuned.
