life after Hamm

I have looked up several hamm clubs in both atlanta and albany unfortunately there are no clubs in albany;however, there is an auto patch repeater in albany. The club in atlanta that caught my attention the most was the Georgia tech club :). Hopefully when i transfer to Ga tech in two years i could be come an active member in the Atlanta HAMM community.

Im a hammie!

through much adversity and long nights of Hamm classes i prevailed....NOW IM A HAMMIE! thats right ii am a proud holder of a technician FCC approved liscence. Yesterday when i took the test the first time the test got the best of me. After much deliberation amongst me myself and I, i retrieved 15 more deneros and i took the test again. I was determined and driven; however by the time i made it pas question 15 i was convinced i was going to fail. to my surprise I passed with a 27!

After lunch

So after lunch got rid of my loop around flow charts by adding subroutines to it. By adding the subroutines i was able to make my main program 1 strait flow chart and just put my sub routines on the side of the flowchart. Other than that I haven't really done too much else today lol, sorry world more updates later.

Cdr cont...

So far today I have worked on identifying all the components of my grounds software. The components include group analization of video and albedo functions. In our morning meeting jim brought to our attention that our video camera can record on low resolution over 4 hours of video which mean it does in fact meet our scientific and technical requirements. After a breif discussion with greg i gained insight on the data analysis and calabration section, after lunch delonzo and Iwill calaberate and complete the calabration section.

After Hamm

okay so i found out that term 232 is part of the calabaration and integration software required for analyzing our data. After hamm I completed the system testing checklist and part of my integration plan. i was kinda losing focus as it got later in the evening so i had to check in relativly early tonight (around 11) hopefully i will come in tomorrow ready to finish my CDR sections and start on presentation discussion with ms. colleen

pre-CDR corrections

after updating my pre-CDR template with my corrections from Dan i began working on the CDR template. For my software part i was able to complete section 6.3, 7.3.2, and 7.3.3. A few of the section i noticed i was a unable to answer... like for example for 7.3.1 jim mention that i needed to include something about term 232. I have absolutely what that is so i will make that a priority to find out what that is tonight, also the idea has been proposed to add an extras sensor to measure internal temperature as well. Even though we aren't sure wether or noth we will use the extra sensor I have taken the liberty to calculate the data storage rate that would max out the EEPROM for a 4 hour time span. Im actually in Hamm class right now so gotta go lol.

Results from dan meeting

In my meeting with Dan today we acomplished much more than what we set out to do. In the meeting he took my Software Design Development paragraph, removed all the "going to" statements. In my flight software section we used control find and we took out all the possesive verb that we could find. Now that my grammer has been checked out all i have to do is update the content in these sections nd they will be CDR ready :)
