Weekend 3: Another Day

Today you woke up at 08:25 without an alarm...you were ready to work on the project! Everybody met at your house at 09:00 (although Josef showed up around 11:00) for another long day. You spend the first half of the morning trying to get the tilt-compensated compass working via I2C on the BeagleBone. After much failing, it continued no to work. You decided to started working on finishing the python code.

You consolidated many of the different sensor reading programs into a single python module. You then tweaked the old RoboGoby Servers in order to allow data to be sent and received continuously.

You also ordered pieces for the project, which you had picked out the evening before. You also finished writing a blog post on the DS18B20 temperature sensor on the BeagleBone Black.

At around 18:45 Liam, Josef, and Nick headed over to Liam's house for dinner. You headed to what you thought was a swim team BBQ, although you were given the wrong date...the BBQ will actually be tomorrow.

You then headed back to Liam's house to eat and then to yours. You wrote some emails (for frisbee and the summer camp your running) and then Nick and you talked about different options for the spinning disk on the float. You also planned out tomorrow which will include going to Home Depot, finishing up the electronics on the float, and hopefully finishing up some CAD modeling.

After Nick left you started working on the BeagleBone Cape:
