:: Long working weekend, but no major steps done ::

After a week where we dismount Maria's hardware to try to different ways and materials, like using 2 mirrors to deflect light, we came to the weekend with the problem of having an area on the Maria's projection surface with too much light. Even with the work that was done during the weekend we couldn't manage to get a solution.

Nevertheless, during Saturday we got some new ideas from our tutors on the project (Prof. Francisco Pereira and Prof. Tiago Candeias). It was our first presentation of all the components to them. Overall, they gave a very good opinion and some suggestions, specially for Maria, which we will try to test during next week.

So, a part from this step backward to try to reconstruct Maria on a different form to avoid the "too much light" problem, the only step forward was the almost full implemention of Maria's User Interface prototype on the Maria's console software. Some controls still need future work, but we manage to finish the weekend with, let's say, 75% of the UI done. Next step, try to close the rest of the 25% until next weekend.
