Bitwise

We made A LOT of progress today. First we wrote a function that converts a character into it's binary value and stores it into an array. Once we got that working we had the ir beacon pulse out the binary values. Due to the way the detector works, we had to invert the signal to keep the output from cutting out. After doing this, the results were pretty consistent. We then moved on to getting it to pulse out whole strings which was surprisingly simple. The funny thing is that we only really need it to pulse out a 4 bit pattern. You could say we got a little carried away. Nevertheless, this has to be one of the coolest things we've done so far.
