Week 04 Summary: Radio modem appears to work between two DOS PCs. Igor's rxChat, txChat, rxData and txData all work. Windows revealed complications since win32RxChat has problems: (1) Windows serial port and/or (2) the radio modem fail under Windows.
Week 05 Summary: The MAX158 PC104 version and SBC appear to acquire sensor data. win32RxData works partially. Some of Phil's speculations are detailed in philEmail042502a.txt and philEmail042502b.txt. Lil submitted a write up on the transceivers: lilTransceiverWriteup.doc
Week 06 Summary: Successful Beta test at Hess lab. The SBC/PC104-based ADC acquired data from Mike Murphy's test slider-crank rig. A linear potentiometer measures the translations of a slider. The analog voltages were acquired and transmitted via the RS-232 radio modems. The received data was graphical displayed on a laptap running a Visual Basic program. SD Presentation: May 13 5-6 PM
Week 07 Summary: Final presentation was successful. Team will go to FSAE competition.
