Antonio, I kind of understand some of it because I know your project a bit from 
what you said on the thread, but you should probably do something more in 
detail, perhaps showing step by step from the "user" side with no tech info and 
one longer with step by step info for people who want to replicate... you could 
post your project (if you want to share it) on instructable.com or your blog.

Thanks again for sharing your work Antonio much appreciated

Cheers! :)
