  • I know I shouldn’t have, but went ahead and updated to the Flash Player 11.0. It kept crashing in Firefox. Not just the our software, but Adobe’s as well. Chrome uses the version 11.0 and it looks ok. Well, going back to the version 10.
  • The problem I have had with ADL (Adobe Air Debug Launcher) for the mobile apps turned out to be related to the FlashFireBug plugin. mm.cfg file in my home directory is set to pre-load the plugin swf on start up. Somehow it messes up the ADL…. Set the PreloadSWF field to empty, and now it runs. I had to remove the plugin completely because it tries to fill the field again and when it did, it messed up the ADL again.
  • working on retrieving obligations/outlays data
    • created view for financial data – this allows to retrieve the data in one-shot.

Dong Shin 10.04.11

  • Working on PPM Wizard
    • created ProjectSelectGroup to display list of projects
    • added ColumnsSelectTitleWindow to ProjectSelectGroup. This allows selection of columns to view in the list of projects
    • added  FinancialDataNavigator
    • added FinancialDataDataGrid
      • FinancialDataItemRenderer to display the data in CurrencyFormat
      • FinancialDataItemEditor to restrict numbers input using NumberTextInput
    • added getDefaultVariables method to return list of pre-selected fields/columns to display from RowDataBase class
    • added parseData to parse database results to RowDataBase object dynamically
  • Flash Player 11 is here!

8:00 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

  • Talked to Bill yesterday, and he wants the desks occupied as much as possible, so I’ll be logging here less.
  • Port 443 on the integration box is open! And is visible to both networks!

Thomas DeVito 10.4.2011

Start: 10:20

  • Finished wiring and adding the capacitors and resisters for the low-powered amp circuits
  • Wired the midi controllers.  Added longer wires to the one that was wired so it can be mounted
  • Everything is ready to connect to each other but I decided to stop there til I mounted everything.
  • Didn’t see anything glaringly wrong with the simulation code.  It is almost an exact copy of the one that works minus the names of objects and the fact its instanced.  It might have something to do with the pan function.

End: 6:30

Dong Shin 10.03.11

  • Cleaning up and mapping database tables to ActionScript classes
    • Tables not needed? Contacts, Cofundings, Financials, Forms_Query, Project_Alerts
      • TRUNCATE TABLE `contacts`
    • done – left out relation tables…
  • working on Project Managers Wizard

  • Well, I’m back. Fin  vacation. pix are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/21701734@N04/sets/72157627607863835/ if you’re interested.
  • Went over what Dong has been working on. We’re going to see if his form work can be used as the basis for the Project Manager’s wizard
  • Tried loading up Mike’s code, and discovered that there was a POM file, which did could not find the parent POM.  Waiting for M2 to update indices. Works with the command line/mvnAssist
    • Looks like I was pointing at the default m2 settings.xml file. Re-indexing.
    • Working now
  • Mike came over to check in the Java side of the code and help me build it. We installed on Google. About to try it on the phone proper.
  • Yay! Success!
  • Going over to check on our new desks and talk to Bill

  • The arduino side of the programming has one major error but seems to be working otherwise.   The object instantiates properly and most functions are working.  The simulation registers the contact event, but mutes the amplifier right after it starts playing.  This is probably something simple so I decided to build the hardware before looking into it further.
  • While trying to get the classes to work right I found that you need to make objects of other classes public.  I think this has to do with how the IDE links everything together because all dependent classes have to be included in the main sketch.
  • The debugger is not as bad as I thought in the arduino ide.  It will report errors in the included classes, not just the sketch.  It still doesn’t help with run time errors or things that you might want to step through.
  • The prototype is about 60% wired and assembled.  I positioned the speakers closer to the finger tip pressure sensors to increase the difference from when the speaker is playing verse resonance of another speaker playing.
  • I was able to use our Wheatstone bridge PCBs as a voltage divider circuit for the pressure sensors.  This made assembly much easier.
  • Wired all the high powered amplifiers as well as attached leads to be connected to the low-powered amplifiers once the electronics are ready.
  • Soldered three more amplifiers and one more rheostat to the break out boards.  Was reminded how much flux helps when doing this.
  • The midi boards still need to be wired, the 3 low-powered amps as well as the 2 rheostats need their circuits completed, all the loose leads need to be connected to their proper places and it will be done.
  • Assembly should be complete by the time I leave Monday.

  • went to Fort to check out the new desks and the space with Brian and Mike
  • PPM Widgets
    • browsing Budget Centers data with a project selected complete – need to go down further from the budget centers table
    • working on Relational Table browser

Dong Shin 09.22.11

  • Continue working on PPM Widgets
    • added AboutDebugGroup – needs to wait until swf loaded up completely, it will fail to display compile date/time
    • created TableDataForm to display individual Table data
    • passing table Class objects between UI’s parse the data
    • working on QueryResultAdbDataGrid to add filters/searches

Dong Shin 09.19.11

  • PPM Widgets
    • creaed RowDataBase class to support database table row
    • Project VO now can use RowDataBase to display columns using dynamic class loading
    • created TableDataLoader class to retrieve table data using dynamic class loading
    • created ColumsSelectTitleWindow to display columns defined in the VO classes
    • created TableDataSelectTitleWindow to display data from TableDataLoader
  • found ResizableControls from http://flexdevtips.blogspot.com/2010/06/flex-4-spark-resizable-controls.html
    • convert to Flex Lib
    • using ResizableDraggableTitleWindowSkin for PPM Widgets

7:00 – 12:00 VISIBILITY

  • Day before vacation. I wonder if I’ll be able to mow the lawn or if it will rain? Dong rode the motorcycle in, so my guess is that it will be torrential.
  • Cleaning up and documenting
  • Added exploding pie charts to the mobile app. THere is one problem that if the user selects the chart while the effect is playing, the “explosion” component of the display becomes confused. There needs to be an effect end event that looks to see if things are valid at the end of the animation.

Tom DeVito 9.14.2011

start: 12:45

  • Fixed the toString method in the control class
  • Tested the control class. Initializes with no errors
  • Started executive sketch.  This sketch will intialize and execute the control module instances and send outputs to the PC
