Personal MSG:

Hello everyone of the "405th". My name is Bruno Silva and i am from Portugal.
I signed up because i am thinking about using some of the things i learn here, with your help , for a project for my college degree.

:coolThis project I'm developing is something really cool. It's basically a Wii controller but on your feet. "But why not just use a Wii controller you ask. " Good question, because basically a Wii remote is very limited in terms of power with regard to accelerometers.:cool

Thus, to assemble all the electronics on top of a solid structure I decided to use the method that you demonstrate how to use here in the "405th".

I hope to contribute much to the "405th"and learn a lot from you too.

Best regards.
Bruno Silva, Portugal

PS: if more people from Portugal are out there. Send a message
