Just in case you are interested, I added a pair of new features to my design. Take a look at them HERE. I think they are the last ones. I really have to dedicate to my master thesis right now…

This idea has been spinning around my head for a long time, and I finally had the time, the knowledge and the motivation for doing it. Much has been said about how wonderful is the Wii, and about the possibilities of the Wiimote as a controller for many exciting applications. We’ve been using a Wiimote in my band KillDemonios (and I want to do it with La Fábrica as well) as a controller for synthesizers, and I wanted to do something with my guitar, something that went a little bit beyond taping the controller to the body of the instrument. Read on to see is what I did (video at the end).

Cabe decir que nunca había estado en algún lugar donde se celebrara el Carnaval, en la época adecuada. Cuando supe que en Sitges, un pueblo cercano a Barcelona, lo hacían con todos los juguetes, me pareció excelente idea ir a conocer y ver cual era la bulla. No me arrepiento.
