If you had added your new post to this one then the context would have been maintained without users having to refer to the other topic to know what your project was about. As it was you had to start with an explanation of what you are doing. If you make it as easy as possible to provide help then it is much likely that you will get it
In the end no harm was done, but please bear in mind the importance of maintaining the context of a topic when posting in future and good luck with your current project which sounds interesting and has a practical purpose for you
