Things that have gone wrong in the few days before the grad show

Broke our large mirror, wasted a setup day finding a new one.

Overheating problems in the box caused the projector to shut down. Drilled some holes into the back, so hopefully that fixes it

Had to relocate pixemo at the end of the second day after perfectly aligning everything. :(

Our projection surface somehow got badly warped so have to somehow get another before the grad show

Got a parking ticket :/

Hopefully we just got all the bad luck out of our systems!

An attempt at wiring IR LEDs to work with our pixemo box. Spent a lot of time working on this but the same effect could be reached without using them so we stopped after 1 set of 4 LEDs. Thanks to Deeks for helping us out with electrical engineering stuff.
