Day 20

Today I was able to get some more work done towards figuring out the arduino program for the sending commands to and from the arduino. What I need to figure out what to do is figure out how to graph the data coming out from the arduino and for it to be displayed on the computer its self. Hopefully this week I will be able to figure out even some rudimentary ways to do this. I was working on grad trans and I found out that my schooling to get my CIS degree from UFV will cost about $20,000 for just the intuition for the 4 year course. This would cover the basics of software programming as well as networking and computer security.

Day 19

today was spent trying to kick another student in the butt to try and get his work done. I have finally convinced them to get some work done. We were looking for anything that we would be able to use for being able to mod and use for a class room type thing. The work was slow but we may have found something that we would be able to use for it. We will hopefully begin working on that shortly, and then we will all be able to get some work done for that. I will hopefully be bringing my arduino in soon as well so that we might be able to use that for some programming experience as well as being able to make some electrical work

Day 18

I was able to get a new phone now. I am using it currently to try and get my blogging done. I helped someone set up a printer over the phone. I remote connected to another computer to remove viruses and then managed to find time to completely redo the wiring of the electrical work for my work's computer systems. I have been working on trying to find a way to get a new charger send for my laptop so I might be able to resume my work again. I will also hopefully be looking into figuring out how to make apps for the apple iphone 5c and then test them myself.

Day 17

Recently my laptop charger broke so I have been unable to progress any more in my computer arduino work. I have however been able to focus more on how to make circuits and repairing Tablets and phones. I was able to fix some problems that were caused by a short in a wire for a phone that was worth about $600. I would put a picture of the phone up but I am to lazy. I have also been able to help a friend of mine learn a bit of programming and got them started off on learning some of the basics.

Day 16

I have finally been able to get the arduino to respond to commands. The sad thing is, it was staring me in the face the whole time. I convert the input to a string and compare the string to another string for the command then run an if/else statement to tell it what to and not to do. I feel so dumb now... I have however booked a course for an arduino programming tutor, the course is coming up in January. I will be getting another arduino with some equipment to go with it. I will quite enjoy it as I will be able to get the arduinos to communicate with each other.

Day 15

I have been working once again on trying to get the arduino to be able to run commands from the serial communication to it. I was able to get it to work once but I have not been able to repeat it for some reason. It may have been a glitch in the arduino programming though. I have been debugging the code again and again to try and get it to work.

Day 14

The blogging problems have been continuing on and on with my computer. Recently it actually closed down the site when I tried to post on here, I seemed to have fixed the problem for now however. Recently I have been working with my arduino and trying to get the serial communication to work so that I may send it commands to do various things. So far I have been unable to have much luck with though.
