some info on microfluidics and on our microfluidic online game idea...

Hardware stuff we need:

  • a USB I/O for driving 24 Volt solenoids (DIY or from national instruments)
  • a cheap microscope/camera system: see [http://hackteria.org/?cat=15 link]
  • a cheapo PC

Software things to figure out:

  • remote control of solenoids?
  • piping video stream?
  • latency issues?
  • need active feedback between camera and PC to determine end of game, reset game, etc.
