it’s been a long while since I last posted here(almost one month! *gasp*)… It seems I had no time to even think of blogging.. Yes, this semester has been busy. Busy because of the bondacious combination of IRC  and academic work!  Mid-November, Me, Jet and Xinia decided to become apprentices  under the Core Group (Monitoring the Environment of Coral Reefs)… The apprenticeship had more work than expected. The group needed to deploy 3 systems (one for each type of waterproof casing). One system composes of the surface logger(includes GSM module) and underwater Temperature anf Light Sensors (2 slaves and 1 master). We had 2 overnights in the lab to prepare the systems on time. Thankfully,  the deployment was a success. Yey! The training was very fulfilling since this was my first time to program the slimboard (of course, thanks to kuya gino for the sample code.. hehe.. ) .

As for the academic work, CoE115 Machine Problem was the main problem. We needed to make the hardware for the uC+debugger  and after which interface a 16×2 LCD. Fortunately, Alvin was my partner which made everything easier fo both of us. Apparently, we work very well together…

The working hardware video will soon be uploaded…

The Engineering Week happenings deserve another post next time.. I’m still waiting for the videos to arrive…
