Observations & Surprises
This project has been a very interesting journey researching a wide variety of invisible potential hazards, designing systems to measure invisible hazards…
I have been waiting for a week to do some ultraviolet light tests - the sun just never seems to shine when I need it. I calibrated the UV sensor output to match the UV Index and wanted to test it in real sunlight. The UV Index was developed in Canada…
So where did we leave off, oh yes, finish up the survival suit. In the past week I got a lot accomplished, below is my "to do" list of things to complete from Blog #11. The list has gotten short, the project is almost complete, so little left. Here is…
It has been a very hectic week including a softball tournament on the weekend, but I did manage to squeeze in some work on calibrating my gas sensor module which is based on the TI MSP EXP432P401R launchpad. The 18 turn offset and gain pots on my custom…
This week I've been sidetracked on a bit of a tangent to my build project. I was asked to make a presentation on invisible hazardous environmental factors. All I can say is the grapevine works in mysterious ways. Anyway I put together a 1 hour multi media…
The deadline for this challenge has been extended again, so I can squeeze in a few more blogs. Perhaps some real applications of all this instrumentation I have put together. This blog shows some quick tests I did to see if shielding makes a difference…
In this post, I will show how everything is coming together and works. After a frustrating 2 ½ weeks with my code not working with the temperature sensors I got that issue solved. I did post the solution but here it is again. There was an error with Energia…
This design challenge is nearing its final deadline so the pressure as been building to complete the project. I finally finished building all the hardware and all the hardware is working well. The past week has seen a lot of 3D design work and 3D printing…
