While I had been working on the hardware and programming, Jan mostly worked on building the installation. Around the time he was finished i got everything done as well, so it was time to put everything together. Communication from both sides went well, I kept him up to date about where i needed wires and sensors needed to go or he would ask me about it so he could keep that into account when building. He did a really good job and everything fitted like a glove. We did find out that some of the holes in the ring were a bit too small and blocked the light to the light sensors. So we needed to make these bigger,  but once it all really worked. I could really start finalizing the code.

I programmed the LED strips and gave them the right colors. As an extra feature I wanted the stages to light up and jump from one to the other when someone was spinning the wheel. But with the way i was trying to do it, it wasnt really possible. It would get stuck in an infinite loop.

So I first asked Rene, and he tried helping me for a while, but since the led strips ran on douwes code we decided to get Douwe to help me. Turned out I had been using his code in the wrong way all the time. I sent values from processing to arduino and programmed the ledstrip in arduino. But Douwe already made commands for controlling the ledstrip in processing, so users can just do all the coding in processing and leave arduino out of it. We decided to rewrite the code together in the right way using his commands. Took a hole afternoon, but it was worth it. Douwes way was more clear and efficient.  It made it easier to controll every part of the ledstrip.
