HyperBBQ

Today started off with Aaron and I making a stop in radio shack for some circuit boards for the Christmas Light Display project. We also ended up getting a cable and a switch that we needed for the projector. While we were there we realized that we also needed a board for the alarm. So we picked up our boards and found an enclosure for the alarm that would work with the board we picked out.

We cleaned up for a good portion of the day. Off and on mostly. Got the cables hooked up to the projector, so we played around with that for a while and listened to some music. Eventually we finished cleaning after we had some dinner.

Aaron worked for a bit, as we listened to music some more. He also began to solder the components onto the circuit boards for the Computer Control System for the displays. While he was doing that he suggested I check out wxWidgets. I read up on it and started to try and use it and get familiar with it. It seems like it is a pretty powerful set of libraries for the C++ language as it is cross platform capable. A useful open source GUI toolkit for most major Operating Systems.
