Phil 6.21.12

9:00 – 4:30 ESSO

  • Looking at what the deal is with MavenAssist.
    • The selection listener doesn’t seem to be firing. Adding some code to the “Set Pom” button that will load the selected POM, and should also allow me to debug this a bit.
    • Looks like you no longer need to remove and then add in the PostSelectionListener. No sure if that will break something else, so I’ll leaf the commented code in for now.
  • Sent Melanie a note about FSAs
  • Fixed the “Flex Demo” chart problem in IngestManager by linking directly to the EdgeUtils project, rather than using the Maven swc.
  • Upload some icons tomorrow for car dealers an customers

  • Regular server backups
  • Deployed the new visibility with the charting options to the integration machine.
  • Brought Phil up to speed on somethings
  • Modified park of the Col.’s report just to make sure it is working
  • Collected some feature requests from Tangie and passed them on to Dong
  • Typed up the weekly status for Jessica
  • Bug in flexichart: changing colors doesn’t seem to be applying
  • Also auto fill in series title if one is not set

8:30 – 4:30 ESSO

  • Looks like a hot summer solstice this year.
  • Worked on getting my accounts restarted
  • Sent Jim a note on getting the funds adjusted on the ESSO contract.
  • Checking into the status of Hudson, etc for fgmdev.
  • Getting all the code for VISIBILITY and verifying that it builds.
    • Got the flex side working. Oddities include
      • MvnAssist is no longer working? No – it looks like the part that pulls the POM path from the Eclipse integration is not working correctly. Everything else seems to be behaving.
      • Changing to a new version of Flexbuilder (i.e. 3.2, 3.4 -> 3.6) caused odd include arguments to be added to the Flex Library Compiler option dialog. The additional arguments were removed and then the “Include all classes from all source paths” option had to be selected from the Flex Library Build Path dialog.
      • mvn dependency:tree is a nice way of seeing what a project depends on in a 1980’s graphics format

Dong Shin 06.20.2012

  • fixed a bug not copying Financial Mitigation Plans properly on Duplicate Projects
    • server code changed
    • DBUpdateSQLs06202012.sql for database update
  • changed Copy Project to Copy Project Config to eliminate confusion with Duplicate Project
  • added Duplicate Project menu item to the main menu
  • changed FundingRequest selection to AdvancedDataGrid to have multiple columns sorting capability
  • working on filtering Funding Request

  • Finalized positioning of all elements and connectors.
  • Cross-referenced sensor circuits with working ones on the previous one to ensure accuracy.
  • added the i2c bus to the board
  • Ran most traces for the I2C communication

End 6:00

Mike 6.19.2012

  • Server backups at site
  • Scanned and deployed an update to PPM that added the duplicate copy feature
  • Tested the feature on the integration machine before moving to the test server
  • Demonstrated to Carla, Lenni, and Jessica how it works
  • Emailed a few or Carla’s users who were having problems, apparently they have not been granted network access which I cannot fix
  • Exported a list of all existing funding requests per Jessica’s request
  • Tried to deploy the auto-login PKI feature of visibility to the integration server but there were too many mismatches between the database, the server code, and the client, need a fresh complete version.  I’ll deploy this at the same time as the chart updates
  • Tested the chart updates some more, seem ready to go in
  • Worked with Dong to produce a few queries that will be used in visibility scripting to make some reports
  • Building and burning to a CD copies of visibility and visibilityScripting

8:00 – 7:00 FP

  • 3:00 Meeting at PAD lab. May go earlier to try printing out mouse
  • Got notice that Shapeways is building the mouse as of 7:45 this morning. I’m guessing it should ship today.
  • Reading Rotary Encoders with an Arduino
  • And the Arduino API. Now that’s useful…
  • Spent a huge part of teh evening in an unsuccessful attempt to print out the new mouse on the new Replicator. I may try going back to the old unit, but the mouse from shapeways is due in a couple of days so maybe not.

  • 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

Dong Shin 06.18.2012

  • 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

Mike 6.18.2012

  • 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.

7:30 – 3:30 Fp

  • 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.

Tom 6.15.2012

Start: 10:00

  • 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

Mike 6.15.2012

  • 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
