We have contact!

I am happy to announce that after many painstaking attempts, we have finally got a phone to connect to the jewelry through ANT+ communication protocol. We've previously had trouble with the server going down, incompatible driver versions and incompatible application versions that always got in our way.

Today we used Jordi's updated code for the arduino library to communicate with other devices through ANT+, updated the driver on the phone to the latest version, used the updated Android application for newer phones and installed a standalone server that we can put up and down at will. We could get the RFID tag reader to read a tag and send a signal when it is reading something.

We were also discussing whether we would need a server at all, since the operations on the "happy points" is pretty atomic, perhaps we only need to write some javascript code that runs inside an Android WebView. This would greatly simplify the technology, but is open to discussion.

There was some confusion about the concept of the game, but I think it's all cleared up ... I hope?
