DAYProject Logs Week 11
MONFinally succeeded in calculating distance between two gps points today! it's the little things that make the difference, in programming, there are no big things, just a bunch of little ones that add up or don't. In other project log news, I will also be working more on the porject description, planning out the video, and thanking my wife for making my lunch today.
TUETesting new antenna I built yesterday. Coiled dipole concept I had. Hopefully it will help increase the range for the radio, and later the gps.
WEDHardware debugging today. Tried to switch to a lower power board, arduino uno r3, to adafruit feather bluefruit u32. Didn't work, pins are weird on the feather. Switching back to uno r3, more soldering.Before undoing what I have done, I have decided to troubleshoot the feather for one day. This way, I won't loose too much time, and I will still benefit by learning something new.
THUProject log for today. Its Thursday. Also, yesterday I discovered the Adafruit feather is very unreliable, but I learned more about At Commands than I knew the day before, so it was worth it.
FRIBusy day at work, wasn't able to program during my lunch break as much as I like to. I was able to test GPS from across the room and get an LED to blink when moving GPS out of predetermined radius. That was way more exciting than this project log entry makes it sound! One LED blinking when I told to, is freaking awesome!
