Internet service got much better last night, so I'm more able to catch up on e-mail and get a few things done. That's nice.
I always learn something when I come to SECON. For example, one team showed me their Arduino environment. The things that made it useful for then is the object-oriented libraries for the processor (an Atmel 8-bit part) with a C++-like syntax based on Wiring. Essentially, a good library enables a wider audience to get involved in microcontroller development. I think my Python idea is therefore good, though the slowness and bulk of Python might be a barrier.
Interesting links:
- One company is developing higher-efficiency gasoline engines for cars -- they evidently have a 98 mpg prototype. Wow!
I'm doing some catch-up, going through my inbox as usual. That always takes time. Projects for today (hopefully):
- Permissions for the review paper -- I still haven't applied for them.
- Salary request for Eglin trip.
- Paper review -- I'd like to at least start reading a paper today.
- Proposal review -- I need to download and take a look at this stuff.
