Day Forty-Three

So we didn't actually work on that program today. Larry, John and I worked on getting the pneumatic intake from one of the non-operational arms onto our arm. It was screwed on TIGHT. Afterwards, we looked for a quick connect system for that intake. The intake is to operate the pneumatic solenoid for the claw/hand of the arm we are working on. The searching and removing and fitting took about 45 minutes. The remaining 5 minutes of class and the next 105 minutes after that was spent working with the MMBE chip on another microcontroller board. I was working with Dave and the teacher, Michael, to get the counter portion of the program reading at the right time. Mostly my part was watching and learning, as this part of the project I had not been working on. I have a decent idea as to what they are wanting to happen, but I'm hoping I'll get a clearer answer on Day 44. At that time, I'll write it down here, along with a cleaned up code of what the Michael and Dave have achieved so far.
