R.I.P. Logochip

March 9, 2006

My logo chip seems to have kicked the dirt. As in dead, corrupted and not working in any way, shape or form. Hmmmm. Steve A and I spent the evening working with my chip to get me more familiar and to play around with his "vibrating pole". My chip did fine and then stopped existing. We swapped out chips on my breadboard and his worked fine…. R.I.P. Logochip. Here are some pics of the motor at the end of the rod. It is the vibrate feature on a cell phone battery… pretty cool!

Well, again I find myself in the early am trying to make this thing work. I guess I am just not catching on to the lessons in class… Thursday is a lab day, we’ll see what Muaz has time to show me I guess. My laptop won’t load the Logo file… it hates it for some reason and my new laptop won’t be here until next week. Oh well… all I can do is try to understand this stuff.

Tuesday’s class sucked for me.  I had a headache and got tired of listening to the shitty remarks that seem to be a constant from Tweedle Dee and Tweedly Dum… I wish they would just go back to their homes and play Halo instead of joining us… it’s annoying as all hell.
