You can use subsections if you like. Below is an example of a retinotopic map. Or, to be precise, below will be an example of a retinotopic map once the image is uploaded. To add an image, simply put text like this inside double brackets 'MyFile.jpg | My figure caption'. When you save this text and click on the link, the wiki will ask you for the figure.

Design Specifications

• Enable multiple programmable light sources for experiments

Design Methods and Execution

Project Exploration

Looking at Xbees

Communication Protocol Definition with Arduino

Creation of custom data packets How do they interact with one another

Transmitter

sends configuration data 5 times (provides margin for error), then switches to LED trigger mode

Software Error Correction

CRC checking

Testing and Camera Emulator

Results

Achieved Specifications

We were able to confirm: distance and delay (synchronization timing)

Tradeoffs

Speed vs Error: Ex. with Xbees

Conclusions

Here is where you say what your results mean.
