I'm working nights and overtime this week to finish a modification on one of the simulators. It's been hanging over my head for over year, but it got put on a back burner while I've been working to test and accept the new sim for the past year and a half. The demands of the new sim started to ease up a bit so I'm taking a run at finishing it this week. Well, that, and the fact that I told the boss that I'd do everything possible to get it done before we take the kids out of town for spring break!
Last night I finished the cabling and adding the new I/O (Input/Output) to the sim. I was able to test the hardware by manually manipulating the I/O through the computer, but things weren't working quite right. Bummer. I quickly found that I misplaced a couple of wires on the backplane and got it fixed in a couple of minutes (see picture). After that everything was working super-duper!
Now I just have to install the hardware in the correct locations and add new code to the software to operate it. I should be able to wrap that up today, then I won't feel guilty about going on vacation!

All the yellow wires are mine. Don't worry, they'll be all neat and organized when I'm done!

I would say looks like fun but I really don't like rewiring things, maybe that is because I suck at it. I guess I just need more practice. WEEEEEEEE

PS I love that Canon in D rock cover you have on your play list.

It looks great and complicated to me.
Yeah...ditto what mom said. It's cool but when your describing it I just hear bla bla this and bla bla that! That just shows my level of understanding of all that stuff.:)
Where are you going on vacation?
Wow, you're really smart! I'm constantly amazed by the Sorensen brain! :)
Where you going to?
I heard Charlotte's baptism and BBQ was way fun! I'm sorry we missed it! Too bad we couldn't double up on that one too :0)
Tell her congrats for us!!
Ron you rock, nice to look at what your up to these days. It's so obvious after being around a bit and where I am today that I was very fortunate to work with you and the rest of the guys at AWA. I couldn't have had a better start any where, bar none.
