DAYProject Logs Week 10
MONToday I am focused developing and implementing the different functions, and resoldering some loose wiring. Edited project details on Hackaday site.
TUEChecking gps distance and testing functions today, soldered SIM module on child unit. Ran out of solder, ordered more.
WEDWorking on RF today. Worked on sending gps coordinates over packet using RFM69HCW module. Put some time into writing up project description. Wrote this, and the previous sentence, brain shutting down...
THUBrain back online. More fun with radio packets. I did get the radios to talk to each other. Now trying to send GPS information. Converting integers to string is like converting rocks to silly string, I like silly string, possibly losing focus...Cramming doesn't help. It just doesn't. It only removes a small amount of guilt, but does nothing else to help aid in performing tasks. Computers can;t cram, everything is taken in at the pace it can handle. Why am I mentioning this...
FRICoding, coding, coding, today I thought I would do some coding. Yes! Finally got Lat and Longitude floating points to go between radio modules, and was able to performa basic arithmetic functions after they were received!!! I am certainly making progress, I might actually finish in time to complete my entry!
