Priorities
Ranking of priorities:
- Teaching preparation
- Ham radio
- Personal projects
Teaching
July preparation and notes: July 2016/Teaching Preparation
Procedure:
- Course syllabus draft
- Course outline draft
- Brainstorm about how to incorporate concepts into hw/exams/other
August course preparation:
- Programming - August 2016/CSE 142
UGR project:
- July notes: July 2016/UGR Project
- Make concrete project plan and writeup
- Create your story, your objective, your scenario
Ham Radio
General Upgrade
Big priority here is passing the general class license exam - see General page for notes
Passed my General 8/5/2016 at Defcon 24
Digital Modes
Main page: Radio/Digital Modes
Working through learning about digital modes. Right now, focusing on how to generate signals - independent of radios. SSTV and PSK.
Yaesu VX 6
Currently have a USB to line in cable, but this is basically useless without the Windows Yaesu software for interfacing with the VX-6. Fldigi and the hamlib library do not seem to have interfaces defined for the Yaesu VX-6.
Instead, I ordered a line in to two (2) audio-out jacks, so that this thing can be hooked up to a TNC modem (like the Raspberry Pi TNC that I have). Then you can have the VX-6 radio hooked up to the Raspberry Pi to transmit digital signals to a base station.
HackRF
Getting the HackRF working with Kali Linux: Kali/HackRF
Projects
Electronics/Microcontrollers
Raspberry Pi
Still working on the camera project. Eventually, going to outfit this Pi with more sensors.
Notes:
- Camera project notes: RaspberryPi/Timelapse3
- Old camera project notes from July: July 2016/Pi Thing
Tie-ins:
- UGR projects: wifi data, sensor data, interfacing with circuitry
- Get some of this worked out ahead of time: operating system, images, SSH setup, wifi setup, etc.
Programming
Graphene (Nope)
Kicking around the idea of starting back up with Graphene.
Notes on getting Cantera set up: August 2016/Cantera
Once you've got Cantera installed, you need to make sure you can run some simulations for Graphene: August 2016/Cantera Test
More notes/brainstorming on Graphene development: August 2016/Graphene
