[psas-avionics] Quick update & hackday Friday
Hi everyone, Two quick updates: Theo and Nathan fixed a slew of firmware/software issues, so we are officially ready for the drop tower high-g test this Friday, assuming the drop tower folks are around. We have a bunch of beautiful data on the power we consume, and battery voltages and currents and whatnot... it's really, really awesome to finally have this all working. Gavin wrote, in less than like two hours, a full GUI/Labjack application that runs the CE hydraulic crusher. We ran it this morning, and it shockingly just worked. Of course, it's terrifyingly powerful and weirdly configured (Ground is center and +5 is *down*!) but it works. The ME capstone will be crushing full size modules in the next day or so. Finally, hack day Friday where we plan on dropping the avionics system in the PSU drop tower. Wish us luck!

[psas-avionics] PSAS av3-fc repo mention
Hey, so Github has a post out this morning about some recent work improving Github for science and research. PSAS got a mention in the first paragraph with a link to the av3-fc repo. That's pretty cool. Is this something we've been involved in/talking to them about or did they just randomly notice us? https://github.com/blog/1840-improving-github-for-science Jenner ___ psas-avionics mailing list psas-avionics@lists.psas.pdx.edu http://lists.psas.pdx.edu/mailman/listinfo/psas-avionics

Cool! Yeah, I talked to Arfon about us a while ago. I'm surprised he remembered though! -Nathan On Wed, May 14, 2014 at 11:43 AM, Jenner Hanni wrote: > Hey, so Github has a post out this morning about some recent work > improving Github for science and research.

Re: [psas-avionics] PSAS av3-fc repo mention
He definitely threw us on a short list: it looks like he made a Science showcase page of eight repos and they put av3-fc on there. Very cool list includes iPython, CERN's CMS, and RPLoS, among others that I haven't heard of but which look awesome. There are two astronomy-related ones, emcee and astropy. https://github.com/showcases/science On Wed, May 14, 2014 at 1:03 PM, Nathan Bergey wrote: > Cool! > > Yeah, I talked to Arfon about us a while ago.

Well, I mean, we are awesome. -Nathan On Wed, May 14, 2014 at 1:24 PM, Jenner Hanni wrote: > He definitely threw us on a short list: it looks like he made a > Science showcase page of eight repos and they put av3-fc on there. > Very cool list includes iPython, CERN's CMS, and RPLoS, among others > that I haven't heard of but which look awesome.
