feel the helmet

As the haptics person for the helmet, it's going pretty good actually. We are having some problems with the code but they'll be ok (I hope). In this session, I added two more motors to the helmet, so in total we have 5 motors (yay). Two of them on the front, two of them at the back and the main motor on the top.
Also the wires are tagged from now on, because it's getting pretty annoying to figure out which is going where. YAY!

so we have four modes for the motors:
GAME START: Front motors. they will run during the game on a small pace
SHOOTING: Back motors and the main motor
SHIELD: Starting from the front all of them.
GAME OVER: ALL OF THEM!

Right now, GAME START and GAME OVER is working. The SHOOTING is OK, only the SHIELD needs some work. Also the accelerometer is not in good shape, but the screen is going pretty good!

I'm planning to sew the motors in the hat so we'd get rid of the catastrophic tapes. Well, let's see..
