  • To my great disappointment it seemed lik enothing after 2ednesday of last week was saved properly
  • Spent time bringing everything back to how it was
  • Phil told me to use subversion to avoid this problem in the future
  • After my converstaion with phil I rememberd that I changed to location of the most recent save due to the near complete status of the schematic.
  • I was able to find the schematic as they were on friday.
  • Drew traces for sensor ciercuits

End 6:30

  • added copyProject to PPM Server that copies complete set of project data
  • added Duplicate Project to PPM client to support the copyProject functionality
    • tested and checked in
    • ready for deployment
    • database updates – DBUpdateSQLs06152012.sql

  • Server backups at site
  • Compiled and tested the pki auto login functionality on the integration server.  It worked for me and Jessica. I could theoretically move it to the ‘production’ server whenever.  I don’t THINK it would lock anyone out.
  • Moved the charting package code from a sandbox project to maven flex library then compiled and deployed it.
  • I had to make some changes because it was compiling with Flex 4 and now Flex 3 to be compatible with Visibility.
    • This resulted in a few bugs and binding problems.  I think I have most of them worked out but want to test some more.

  • Had trouble printing the mouse last Friday.
    • The version that had the mounting geometry wouldn’t print, so I used the simpler version
    • That pulled up off the stage. I hot-glued it back to its raft, which helped for a while, but then the whole raft pulled away and rotated, which destroyed the print job.
    • I think the way to fix the problem with the model detaching is to add a base that will be cut away later. That will increase the contact patch.
    • I’m installing ReplicatorG, which produces the gcode for the Replicator to try to see what the deal is without going back to the lab.
    • Had to rebuild the entire model due to manifold problems. The new model does create valid gcode.

  • Rotated and moved the socket area so it is closer to where the arduino plug is
  • added power/ground leads to power the arduino with the power supply
  • Drew all power and ground traces

End 6:00

  • Scan and deployed a new version of PPM:
    • fix to copy project foreign key problem
    • fix to log in / out problem
    • fix to comments now showing up when the user who made them was deleted
  • Server backups
  • Came up with a planned solution for the copy project problem, Dong is working on it
  • Installed tomcat at my new desk inside
  • Started work on the internal PKI library for the auto log in feature
  • More work on Charts:
    • The drag and drop thing was a pain but I have it working now, just minimal effort left on the package itself, then integration work to do

  • Copy Project capability wouldn’t quite do the jobs users wanted to do because it doesn’t copy of the monthly financial data. We proposed that another functionality to copy/duplicate entire project data.
  • working on duplicating project data
  • changing database structure and logging in to DBUpdateSQLs06152012.sql
  • copy a project
    • INSERT INTO projects (
      project_number, title, exec_summary, description, location, begin_year, end_year,
      total_budget, proj_mgr_login, proj_admin_login, portfolio_mgr_login, portfolio_admin_login,
      priority, services, TRL_start, TRL_current, TRL_end, TCL_start, TCL_current, TCL_end,
      TP_start, TP_current, TP_end)
      SELECT project_number, title, exec_summary, description, location, begin_year, end_year,
      total_budget, proj_mgr_login, proj_admin_login, portfolio_mgr_login, portfolio_admin_login,
      priority, services, TRL_start, TRL_current, TRL_end, TCL_start, TCL_current, TCL_end,
      TP_start, TP_current, TP_end
      FROM projects
      WHERE uid=0

7:30 – FP

  • Heading out early to go to the PAD lab and try printing out the mouse.
  • Updating sim and models on the laptop. Done, and hooked up to the hardware!
  • After talking to Tom for a bit, it looks like it might make more sense to buy a cheap deskside system and strip it for parts rather than buy the components.

  • In a bit late due to dentist app’t.
  • Let’s see if we can learn how to slice geometry today!
    • It’s really easy. Select the object that you want to modify (in object mode), then click on the ‘Object Modifiers’ (crescent wrench) tab
    • Add a ‘Boolean’ modifier. It can be ‘Difference’ ‘Union’, or ‘Intersect’
    • Select the object that the first object will be modified by in the ‘Object’ Field
    • Click ‘Apply’ – That’s it!
  • Next, let’s see if we can make some useful cuts in the mouse. Done! 
  • Useful link to Modifiers in Blender: http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/An_introduction_to_Modifiers_in_Blender

 

Tom 6.13.2012

Start: 10:00

  • Finished switching connectors for the individual components
  • Moved everything around so that traces would have easier paths
  • Looked up computer parts so we can have the demo all in one box.  Cost looks to be between 250 and 350 for what we need.
  •  Found better connectors for the ribbon to baord connection.
