| LightWalker |
Have been able to spend a fair amount of time on the ol' LightWalker project lately. Pretty happy with how it's progressing...
- Main unit is completely wired up at this point. All I gotta do is figure out where to mount the mic and how to insulate it a bit and that piece is done!
- Both legs are completely done... frames, lights, wiring, and fabric covers.
- Both arms have their frames built.
- One of the arms has lights installed.
- All wiring for accelerometers is complete.

| First stroll! |
A couple weeks ago, I actually wired the legs up, threw the battery and controller in a backpack, and hopped on the leg stilts to see how they worked. Definitely found some things that need polishing, but overall, the first walk went fantastic!

| first arm |
Here's the arm I got wired up with lights today. Now I just gotta get the lights on the other arm, finish wiring it, and it's on to my actual costume! I think I'm going to need to make an all white stilt outfit with 50 or so pixels in the legs to really make the whole thing work. Might even get a bunch of white fabric to hang off of me so I look more flow-ey.
The man burns in 47 days. At this rate, I might even have time to pack and get some food before I have to head out.
Cheers. Minty.
