May I add, that I think it is really cool that you as a dad are willing to work with your son on a project as this. For multiple and possible obvious reasons. But that I do not exactly know your level of experience in this "arena" You're potentially going to run into several road blocks on this journey with your son. Just do not give up, as there is usually a way to work around issues of this nature. Sometimes, it just takes thinking about your project a little differently, and sometimes even just a little searching the internet to get an idea of what all your options are.
