7:30 – 11:30 VISIBILITY

  • Meeting with Trish and Chris
    • Tabs in Financial Entry should read “Year 1″, Year 2”, “Year 3” etc., to avoid confusion between appropriation year and budget year
    • Still not starting FY in October
    • Whenever a reported obligation out outlay is less than 99.9% of the (calculated) goal (currently not visible), a dialog with Trish’s questions should come up. There is shared data between obligation and outlay reports for a given month.
    • Dialog should be smart enough to know if an obligation or outlay value is not applicable in a dialog, since one or the other or both may be under the estimate.
  • Responded to Paul O’s questions about how to interact with the report builder.
  • Went over the meeting results with Dong, and gave him Trish’s “5 questions”.
  • Went over the rough layout of the visibility system with Kiel.

11:30 – 3:30 FP

  • Working on fingers. Building the ServoMotorController class. Done.
  • Had to wait for the servoController class to initialize before getting the handle to the motors.
  • Had to initialize and engage all axis in the ServoController. I could do this inside the ServoMotorController.
  • Need to adjust speeds and ramps for the servos
