Week 1 : A New Perspective

Greetings Blog Viewers!

It has been quite a while since last I typed up one of these blogs, and you may have noticed I have restarted my week count as well. This summer I got a bit of a head start on my project by testing verious chassis designs for the aquino so that testing may properlly commence. The circutry was a nightmare of a task, and the coding was a breeze, but I find that the building is somewhere in between. Having pieces 3D printed does take some time, so I was excited for the head start I got.

Because of this gap though I am excited to announce that I will be working on a secondary project as well!

A visual representation of my relief and excitement

Matt H. in the lab had pulled me aside the first week and asked if my partner James, fellow tech Maria, and I would be interested in building a database for him. My excitement for this can not be understated, as database construction was something James and I learned how to do 2 semesters prior and is generally more in our wheel house. The idea for it is to create a web hosted database to help researchers log and share recordings of bats that they have collected out on the field. For us it will be geared towards creating a stable enviroment as well as designing it so that it is easily approachable.

I am so,so,SO, excited for this semester even if the work load is big, but in theory works out as I have to halt my current project for days depending on what I have printing (so it should even itself out).
