  • Continue configuring XAMPP- done
    • Visibility not working!
    • Turned out the Tomcat for XAMPP uses Java 1.5
    • replaced jre directory with Java 1.6 and everything seemed well
  • Testing XAMPP install package on laptop-13- done
  • added total_budget to budge_centers table, budget to _funding_requests_budget_centers table
  • added FloatItemRenderer to display floats in currenty format (double precision) – need to do DG.validateNow()

  • Logged into LDAT(2) successfully. Asked for a tutorial/walkthough, and who to talk to for direct JDBC access. I may use the scripting service to publish that data
  • More alerting. Need to do the following
  • Add an alert in the Alert Manager
  • Clean up and test alert adding in jython
  • Start on the AlertServlet – particularly how to add, clear, and delete(?) an alert RESTfully

  • Have you done your taxes yet?
  • Meeting with Jim Murphy & Trish(?) Went through Don’s system pretty thoroughly.
  • Added links to help in vis2
  • Add Alert panel to webbapp – started
  • Add code hints to scriptFacades
  • Start on Alert Servlet

  • There is some new data in the employees tables on site. With some poor picking, there could be some real combinatorial problems. Not sure what to do about that right now. Maybe a warning (“Warning, this may result in a very slow return, do you wish to…?) Dunno.
  • Working on adding alerts. Can create an alert and add it into the db trough ScriptObject. Tomorrow, I need to be able to pull out the list of alerts for ScriptObject, and start on the REST component. Last thing will be to add interaction with Python.
  • Speaking of which, I really need syntax coloring and code completion in the “IDE”. Found some syntax coloring that might be usable on sorceforge. Nothing on code completion.

  • continue working on Funding Request editor
    • Save, Request, Send to BF34, Certify, Accept works (updates the status accordingly)
    • Date updates can now be saved
  • working on Triggers to store data logs (SQL’s)
    • mysql> delimiter $$
mysql> CREATE TRIGGER Employee_Trigger
    -> AFTER UPDATE ON employee
    -> FOR EACH ROW
    -> BEGIN
    -> INSERT into Employee_log
    -> (user_id, description)VALUES (user(),
    -> CONCAT('Id with ',NEW.id,' is modified ',
    -> ' from ',OLD.start_date, ' to ', NEW.start_date));
    ->  END$$
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
    mysql> delimiter ;

Feldman Project Log

  • OpenGL works in a similar fashion to our RCS system so I decided that I’ll make a controller for the graphics simulation.
  • Finally got a second sensor stick assembled waiting for silicone to dry.
  • Amp was running extremely hot.  Lowered input voltage to 5 volts. This helped with the heat but there is less range of voltage change then before.  After shielding the wires and lowering the voltage the idle readings are much more stable.

  • Meeting with Anne at 9:30. Then I need to chase down what the issues are with my certs.
  • Add alerting capability to JavaFacades.java. I’m thinking another db that can be accessed restfully that has a list of all current alerts. This does mean that I’ll need some level of CRUD to deal with handling alerts (acknowledge, etc, from outside the system)
  • BLACKPANTHER meeting/demo

Feldman Project Log

  • Did a couple tutorials for OpenGL.  Going to continue this over the weekend if I have time.
  • Tried to use  the new sensor rod.  The hole for the motor axis is too big.  Tried to use tape and heat shrink but it would still not get tight enough.
  • Started fixing the other sensor rod.

  • Got a note from Michelle G (LDAT). They want to move ahead. I need to get FGM’s NDA
  • Adding better keyboard control to scripting window. Trapped tabs, going for autoindent. Basics of autoindent are done.
  • Some permissions problem at the fort. Going back in. Fixed
  • 9:30 Meeting with Anne on Monday. Come here first, I guess.

Feldman Project Log

  • Finished attaching strain gauges.  Currently waiting for silicone to dry.  For future reference make sure the first layer of resin is fully dry before attaching strain gauges.  If not you might end up with the strain gauge touching the metal rod.
  • Added a stop_CW(clockwise) and stopCCW(counter-clockwise) so that it wouldn’t get move commands when its collision reaches the maximum force.  Its hard to test how successful the changes I made were until I get the other sensor stick working because the current one acts too erratic.
  • Read OpenGL book

  • added data navigation buttons (Prev and Next) and data record information (Record # of #) to TableDataViewerCanvas
  • created TableDataSelectWindow to select specific data from a table – select Funding Request to view
  • modified FundingRequestPanel to use TableDataSelectWindow to select contacts and managers
  • TableDataSelectWindow supports optional Add/Remove data – enableAdd()

Dong Shin 04.08.2010

  • funding_requests table created
  • renamed all relation tables to start with “_”
  • FundingRequestPanel form now working
    • all related data can be stored (contacts, budget center, etc)
  • TableDataViewer canvas created to view single set of data from specified table
  • FundingRequestViewer uses TableDataViewerCanvas to view the data
  • Demo for LDAT folks at 2PM – seemed very interested in Visualization and Spreadsheet

Feldman Project Log

  • Strain gauge sensors were changing in unison.  Found out this is because on strain guage was touching the metal rod and through that connecting to the motor ground.
  • Still works with ground detached but there is signal interference this way.
  • Started attempting to make a strain gauge rod.   Failed first attempt.
  • Started reworking the way the output motor reacts to input so that I can stop it when it collides before it stalls out.
