BreathalyzerCalibrationSettings

You may also calibrate the thresholds of the responses. To change the default settings, click “ConfigureAdditionalItems”andthen“BreathalyzerCalibrationandSettings”.

Baseline Idle Value: After hooking up the Breathalyzer, set the configuration program and run the MagicMirror in verbose mode. While in verbose mode, look for the Alcohol Sensor box and then enter theidle/steady state valuewhen no alcohol is near the Breathalyzer. The value you enter does not need to beexact.WhentheBreathalyzerruneachtime, itwillobtainanewbaselinevalue(whennoalcohol ispresent)dynamically.Default:100

Reset Difference Allowance: When the Breathalyzer has detected alcohol, it can take some time for thealcoholsensortoresetbacktotheoriginalBaselineIdleValue.TosavetimeandbecausetheBreathalyzerwillobtainanewbaselinevaluedynamicallyeachtime,itisnotnecessarythatthealcoholsensorresetallthewayback to the Baseline Idle Value.

Customizing the Magic Mirror with your own Videos

The DIY Magic Mirror was designed to allow the animations/videos to be personalized. To add your ownvideos: 1 You can use any video you like for the animations. If you'd like to add your own audio to the existingcharacters, purchase the character (each character is $15) you would like to personalize fromhttp://www.imagineerieing.com/ 2 Record the audio separately. Then manually move the mouth movements of the digital puppet fromimagineerieing using your keyboard to sync the audio. Use a video capture program (FRAPSworkswell forWindowsusers)torecordtheperformance.Thenassembletheaudioandvideotogetherinyourfavoritevideoeditingprogram.Rotatethecharacter90degreesasperPiratescreenshotonthenextpage. 3 EncodethevideoinAdobe.FLVformatusingthesettingsbelow.Donotusethe.F4Vformat.
