vCasper folks, Is there any mechanism for the beginner to get one on one time with a CASPER expert? I'm making no headway. Is it me or do the tutorials not compile? A yellow block I need for roach2 exists only for roach1, or am I doing something wrong again?
How does the community handle this? The experts where I am are overloaded with work, and can not do the hand holding that I need to get started. I estimate that ~10 hours would be enough, and I would propose to meet for one hour, I watch and take notes, reproduce what the expert has done and retype my notes, and try to make more progress myself for the rest of the day, then meet again for an hour the next day. I could come to you. My desktop computer has all the tools, and I would prefer to use it, who knows, it may not be set up correctly, and that would be the first think to fix. It is luggable. We could skype and screenshare. I use that for teaching remotely one on one. I like the screensharing program "TeamViewer". Do novice CASPERites make a pilgrimage to Berkely? Who would I talk to about that? main topics 1) the tutorials that I can't make compile 2) adapting yellow blocks from roach1 to roach2 3) black boxes 4) what I don't know that I don't know that I don't know! Target: a back end for a Greenbank telescope phased array. 38 antennas at the prime focus, in L band separately digitized will be combined and correlated to put 7 or more beams on the sky. Fun! The 64ADC64-12 ADC is being used, with 1 roach1 and 3 roach2's available to process its digitizations. David
