7:30 – 11:30 VISIBILITY

• Responded to Yonald’s email. Tentative meeting is Tuesday at 2:00
• Sent of an OZONE ping to see about getting VISIBILITY OZONE-blessed
• Printed out the OZONE overview to bring here
• Reading OZONE doc
• Burned new PPM to disk

11:30 – 3:30 – FP

• Brought in the KF prototype
• Wiring up motors (Documentation is here: http://www.phidgets.com/documentation/Phidgets/1063.pdf).
  • Stepper motor wire pairs are (red/blue) and (green/black). Wired up as A/red, B/blue, C/green, D/black
  • Wrist Motor number = 92693
  • Top finger is servo 0
  • Bottom finger is servo 1
  • Azimuth is 92795 – might want to reverse wiring
  • Need to move pivot point in on wrist linkage

7:30 – 1:30 VISIBILITY

• Deployed the new network data source and Greek icons.
• Beat on the SSL problem for a while
• Sent Yonald C a note about networking, he wants to set up a meeting/demo for next week
• Modified the network generator so that it outputs status and lat/long
• Walked through Dong’s changes. Test and burn a new disk
• Gave Mike some Tasks
  • Adda “New Widget” Button to the Wap and the Status panel. It should create a query of the form “SELECT foo, LAT, LONG WHERE (foo = ‘bar’ AND lat = 13.72 AND lon = 48.28) OR (foo = ‘baz AND lat = 12.38 AND lon = 43.7)”. The equalities in the parentheses’ define a selection on the map. If you want to get fancy, dragging a rectangle to select would be pretty cool too. This makes all the graphical components behave in the same way.
  • Bug Fixes for AdvancedQueryWidget
    • The status display gets confused with blank rows
    • Sometimes names don’t show up in the status pane after they have been selected. Let’s say I have two columns – name and status. If I select name, the names don’t show. If I then select status, the status’ show. Selecting name again now shows names
    • With the new data set, the attraction forces are two high, and the nodes bounce around until the settings are adjusted. Can you look into adding a threshold clamp that keeps that from happening?
    • Are the force settings saved when the panel is saved? They need to be.

1:30 – 3:30 FP

• Making new, stronger linkages – done

7:30 – 1:30 VISIBILITY

• SSL for Firefox is misbehaving. Waiting for that to be fixed. All the deployed apps are working fine though
• Catching up with Dong. Looks like I’ll demo the version installed last week
• Working on the “Sailor” display
• Burning a new Vis disk
• Power failed at Columbia, went to the client. Spent a few hours doing the newest Visibility deploy. Since my certs were misbehaving, the svn transfer trick didn’t work any more. Joe set me up with a remote disk which works very nicely.

1:30 – 3:30 FP

• Reinforced the azimuth component of the main support so the strain gauges should work better
• Added the base
• Discovered that the arms that come off the large motors are not strong enough to grip the shaft. Part of this is that there is no standard drill bit that corresponds to 8mm, so the holes for the shaft were too large. Wound up having to order a metric drill set from McMaster. You would think that Harbor Freight would have that, but nope.

7:30 –  12:00 VISIBILITY

• Deployed the new PPM, but the server was having SSL problems. Joe got that fixed, but in a semi-related side issue, the meeting was postponed
• Rolled Mike’s changes into the new deployment package.
• Tried restarting my computer to see if that’s what causes my out of memory exception. No joy. Going to try deleting the projects and reloading them. Wow! That worked. WTF?
  • Setting the project up as a server app again – let’s see what that does…
  • Changed the .flexProperties to make this a server project: <flexProperties flexServerType=”64″ serverContextRoot=”” serverRoot=”C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 6.0/webapps/VisDashViewer” serverRootURL=”https://127.0.0.1/VisDashViewer&#8221; toolCompile=”true” useServerFlexSDK=”false” version=”1″/> – still working…
  • Changed the output folder: C:Program FilesApache Software FoundationTomcat 6.0webappsVisibility3 – still working
  • Enabled HTML wrapper – still works.
  • Chalk it up to a FlexBuilder unreproducible result.
• Virtually attending Aaron’s presentation

12:00 – 3:30 FP

• Mounting fingers
• Building armrest

7:30 – 11:00 VISIBILITY

• Verified PPM meeting with Trish for 9:00 Thursday
• Script runner for Querylog is working fine
• Looked some more for the source of my memory problems. I’m thinking that it might have to do with where I’ve put the images folder. Sent a note to Mike asking him to try it out in his environment.
• Burned a new copy for Scripting

11:00 – 4:00 FP

• Adding the wrist actuator and possibly the fingers
• Got everything up to the finger mounts installed. Next will be the fingers and the base.

• 

  KF System with linkages and finger mounts

7:30 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• Sent Trish a note to reschedule meeting from Friday to Thursday. After getting to the office, it looks as though the meeting was already scheduled for Thursday 0900.
• Went over the change requests with Dong
• Chasing the bug that clears out the interval_minutes when scripts are run manually. It looks like the issue is when a script is updated, interval minutes is blown away. Fixed.
• Was looking at Mike’s changes to the network widget, and made the suggestion that rather than selecting single lines in the table, that we use the name field (either in the chart or the selected line on the grid) to create a query that preserves the networking information, along the lines of:
  • select `Name`, `souRce`, `targeT`, `icon`, `text` where (Name = ‘Jason’ or souRce = ‘Jason’ or targeT = ‘Jason’) or (Name = ‘Mary’ or souRce = ‘Mary’ or targeT = ‘Mary’) or (Name = ‘Mark’ or souRce = ‘Mark’ or targeT = ‘Mark’)
  • This gets us away from having to deal with the uid as the means by which we determine what rows we’re getting and allows for a network-based drilldown into the data.
  • Maybe this means that instead of having the query be added to the data page, that we build the query in the network view using a “new widget” button like for the other charts.
• Pulling slideshow off into its own SWC. I’m pulling a lot out of vis2, so if anyone does any work in there, please let me know!
  • Having huge memory leak problems compiling the app now that I’m including the slideshow library.  Compiles fine with maven.
  • Interestingly, the swc compiled using maven is 2781kb, while the flexbuilder version is 2783 kb.

Need to order

• 2(?) more amplifiers (http://www.industrologic.com/sga2desc.htm) – done
• 4 more sensor boards (http://www.phidgets.com/products.php?product_id=1135) -done

7:30 – 2:00 VISIBILITY

• Tried to VPN over to the WPAFB server. The VPN seems to work, but I couldn’t connect to the site.
• Trying to set up meetings for Friday
  • Talked to Anne.
• The querylog script had stopped running on the 16th, for some reason. Which is odd because the details pull scripts were running just fine. Anyway, put the querylog script back in the queue. It seems to be running fine now.
• Need to walk through PPM with Dong today and burn a disk – done.
• Need to see what problem Tom is having with getting the Scripting Server running on viz-n – fixed
• Updating Visibility and Scripting on viz-n
• Burned new copies of PPM and VISIBILITY to deploy tomorrow.

2:30 – FP

• Mounted the wrist motor
•
