The final tests and last problems with sonars

The exhibition stats in just one week, and the last final tests are being done, together with all the polishing of the setup. Angles are being covered with foam to avoid people breaking their head, cables are being routed on the ceiling and in the corners, and covered with white tape.

The sound is great, exactly how we envisioned it, thanks to our sound teacher Patrick, also for lending us the sub-woofer.

The only problem to be solved is still the sonars not getting a stable distance reading: I’ll have to try and change the way sonars are triggered, and instead of relying on the automatic daisy-chaining (as MaxBotix suggests, and apparently doesn’t work) I’ll try to trigger the readings directly from the Arduino.
