  • My machine is working again!
  • Gave Mike my receipts for all my various permissions
  • Doing the Phishing training
  • Back to recognizing gestures. It may be that region select won’t be a problem?

Start: 9:30

  • Made an arduino version of my ComUtil class.  As with the PC version, this class links the gap between the com manager and the data dictionary.
  • Added a method for command handling on the Arduino.
  • Tested sending the change thumb note to command.  The variable changed properly.
  • Added commands for the other fingers.
  • Added commands for changing instruments.

  • Meeting with Tangi, found minor bugs
    • Goals should be disabled
    • format % values to 2 decimals
    • disable current button where FY is not available
  • changed ProjectFilterButtonBar skins to reflect the query

  • More fun mornings spent waiting on site
  • Working making the mobile demo look a little better
  • Started by trying to style charts then decided it would be better to start on the first screen to decide on a theme and run it all the way through
  • So I started working on an animated splash screen, similar to the one seen on the Flint home page
  • Got it working in a Flex application even though my Eclipse crashed over  dozen times in the process
  • When I tried to add it to the phone as a splash screen I get the following exception:

Error: Could not find compiled resource bundle ‘charts’ for locale ‘en_US’.

I find it very odd since my animated swf doesn’t use any charts…

Start: 9:00

  • Made a new class to help link the gap between the ComMgr and the DataDictionary called ComUtil.  This has all the methods that I wasn’t really sure where to put because they required both types of objects.
  • The system should give normalized data to the arduino of the collision so the arduino can decide what volume to set.  This seems to be much better then having the computer give the volume data because who knows what application will be using this.
  • Changed the volume data to collision data, removed response for now, set up commands for changing the instrument and note for the fingers, and changed all the data being passed to be an array except the command data because there are multiple parts to it.
  • Fixed a problem with the loadBuffer method which was causing random crashes.
  • Simplified the initialization of the Arduino side by using for loops instead of setting things individually.
  • Took out obsolete code in the arduino sketch

8:00 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

  • A bit late because of lab tests
  • Uploaded new Project Assistant
  • Updated db on Jeff’s server so that Project Assistant would work on it and copied it over.
  • Meeting with Tangie. Dong has notes.
  • Some running around for Bill D.
  • More security stuff
  • Meeting with Mary G. to go over VISIBILITY for marketing purposes. Wide ranging discussion that wound up on how to use social media to market FGM.
  • Note: For Monday, do something like:

Dong Shin 11.04.2011

  • meeting with Tangi, few enhancementsand fixes
    • add INCOMPLETE for projects that are missing previous months’ data
    • add ‘Goals’ string to Obligation/Outlay (11/04)
    • Incomplete, Overdue, Current to filter projects list (11/04)
    • fix month when navigating thru Overdue projects (11/04)

Start:  9:00

  • Finished setting up the test to have the new midi controllers added
  • Tried it there was still a tremendous amount of white noise.  I turned off the power supply and noticed that the power led on the Midi shields was still on from the Arduinos power.  I looked up the different Arduino pin modes and found that if its set to OUTPUT, it can put out as much as 70ma.  INPUT mode, on the other hand, has high impedance so it produces much lower current.  The reset pin has to be set HIGH or the chip is in off mode, so I tried switching it to INPUT mode so it didn’t output excess power.  This resulted in the white noise being almost completely eliminated and the chip’s power led now turns off when the power supply is off.  For some reason, both examples on the sparkfun page show this pin being set to OUTPUT.  I posted this solution on their page so hopefully others will be helped.
  • Setting multiple channels to play the same note on the same instrument gives it a fuller sound.
  • There was a problem that I had with the end of the buffers data.  Clearing the buffer after each import solved it.
  • Changed the volume to accept doubles between 0-100 instead of decimal percentages.
  • Added the an instance of the interface to the main.  Was able to get the pressure sensors to show up.
  • Changing things around so that the simulation runs through the computer instead of autonomously on the arduino.

  • PPM
    • changed PPM Widgets to Project Assistant
    • bold fonts on DropDowList
    • lighter gray for disabled Budget Centers and Years
    • added Budget Center information on Financial Data Navigator
    • fixed triple click/double tab to edit bug
  • Updated SF86 and sent to Carrie
  • Updating Performance Plan

Phil 11.3.11

7:30 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

  • Added more info to the credentials test webpage servlet and sent out the link
  • Walked though the PPM Widget with Dong
  • Reviewed Mike M’s spreadsheet for proposal
  • Working on Performance Plan – done
  • Security videos

Tom DeVito 11.2.2011

Start:  1:00

  • Tinned the leads which kept slipping out of place.  Everything is much more secure now.
  • Hooking the wires to the power supply was a bit annoying.  Once I get everything working I will make a power bus so only two lead need to go to the contacts.
  • Everything is powering up without issues.

  • Deployed Dong’s code, thought he network was slooooooooooooooooow. Didn’t realize that cut and paste worked with remote desktop. Handy.
  • Talked to Dong about making the contract information clearer
  • Worked on Performance Plan
  • Meeting with customer here at the Rams Head. Demo went well except for when everything bogged down because the laptop was trying to install 27 windows updates during the demo

Mike 11.02.11

  • Lots more waiting for permissions even though some people ‘disapprove’ of it
  • Continuing to work on the chart scrolling and zooming
  • There’s a weird bug with the throw, it seems to calculate the endpoints and animate fine until the last frame of the animation where it resets the axis back to where it started.  I’ve spent a lot of time debugging this and can’t figure it out.
  • So I checked in my ChartScroller component and added it to the mobile project with the throw DISABLED.  Scrolling and zooming do work fine though.
