[12:28:39] NASSP Logging has been started by n7275 [12:28:41] good morning [12:33:36] hey [12:46:33] looking at the redraws of the meters kind of forces me to look into some general things with them, including what they are wired to [13:10:51] oh that must be interesting [13:25:27] switches/meters are wired to their switch row, if they don't already have a power source [13:25:43] for the cryo meters for example, the whole row is wired to the instrumentation bus [13:25:54] which is DC [13:26:08] and then the quantity meters are wired separately to the AC bus phases they belong to [13:26:18] and all that in the Init code, which gets called every time you switch panels [13:26:56] and now I have changed that. I have a derived class from the SwitchRow class, just for CSM panel 2 (and 1 and 3) [13:27:03] that doesn't get wired to anything [13:27:18] the meters are wired to the correct thing now in satsystems, that is only done once [13:28:47] oh wow [13:29:32] that wiring in Init is what causes the battery C charging bug, too, as the special wiring for charging done in BatteryCharger code gets basically reset when you switch panels [13:31:12] performance wise, I have usually been getting two levels of frame rate, randomly. Previously that was more like 40/70 fps and now it's 55/85. Roughly. But I don't think I ever saw 85 before, so it's going into the right direction it seems. [13:31:27] and lots of meters to go [13:31:52] I had pushed my current state to Github, but there apparently was a bad bug in it. Weird, I only saw it in debug mode. [14:33:07] saw 86 fps now [14:33:11] definitely going up [14:34:17] if it reaches 60+ fps even at its worst times, then I am happy [14:36:16] that's quite the improvement. I had always blamed the performance issues with the 2d panel on the blit method, never knew there was so much inefficient code in there [14:37:12] yeah it's definitely all the blit [15:34:04] I need to create a MFD like the Shuttle FIDO one: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FP1QB-IaIAQ0BxU?format=jpg&name=large [15:37:38] for NASSP rendezvous? [15:37:59] that's the rendezvous profile of the Dragon that just launched [15:38:05] so for Dragon haha [15:38:22] there is a nice addon for it, I don't think they have any advanced rendezvous techniques yet [16:23:35] ahhh okay [16:25:41] you mean sync-orbit MFD isn't an advanced rendezvous technique? haha [16:28:01] not for my standards haha [16:35:29] most operations in Orbter use a few orders of magnitude more DV than is realistic [16:42:27] yeah [16:42:39] the launch itself is a big problem with that [16:43:03] this Falcon 9 addon and not even SSU can do targeting for a specific orbital plane [16:43:28] so they just target an inclination and then the timing has to be just right, because there is no yaw steering [16:43:47] that usually results in significant plane change maneuvers being necessary [16:45:26] and with non-spherical gravity it gets even more complicated [16:48:29] my favourite orbital mechanics phrase [16:48:31] phantom plane [16:54:38] morning! [16:56:45] hey Mike [17:03:25] what's up? [17:03:55] still working on the panel optimization. It takes forever of course, with all the switches and meters on the CSM main panel [17:04:10] but I'm pretty sure I see a decent performance improvement [17:07:31] nice! [17:10:17] that will be a fun project to test [17:10:31] "what should I try?" "every switch and every indicator and every meter" [17:13:32] heheheh [17:30:42] n7275, I assume your email to UHCL a few days ago was ignored just like Ryan's was when he asked again about the scanning progress? [17:48:28] nothing yet. :( [17:55:16] I hope they just need a lot of time, are busy for their actual students and not us external people [18:11:13] I miss Lauren :( [19:01:56] how have things been over on Discord? I haven't been able to check in about a week [19:02:18] pure chaos I assume [19:11:34] a bunch of issues we can't replicate mostly [19:42:03] I tend to assume that most of those can be fixed by an easier install process [20:50:48] night! [11:55:13] good morning [11:56:09] got a reply back from UHCL yeaterday afternoon [11:57:19] they sent the wrong document.... [12:02:12] hey [12:02:15] oh haha [12:02:18] what did they send? [12:02:55] https://drive.google.com/file/d/17DjmVgLgalRE4R9rJxoZck6s_UHl7Bt5/view?usp=drivesdk [12:04:10] oh no [12:04:14] we already have that I think [12:06:13] yeah [12:06:33] seems to be a new scan, too, that's unfortunate that they had to scan almost 1000 pages and it turns out to be the wrong one [12:06:47] how did they get this wrong... [12:12:38] i have no idea. not even close to the right title [12:12:42] or size [12:13:49] it's probably stored close to each other [12:13:59] did they like, grab the first thing that said RTCC [12:14:15] that wasn't even the previous thing I had requested [12:14:20] I got this 2.5 years ago [12:15:49] its probably on greenbar by the description [12:16:15] not 8.5x11 [12:21:11] right [12:23:08] 0101i replied directly to her email and explained what we wanted again [12:23:26] *I [12:25:46] did you just give away that you are actually a robot? 0101 :D [12:26:07] uhhhh you caught me [15:49:17] theres a very goood chance that i will have my computer moved today. so thats good [15:49:53] yay [16:44:18] morning! [17:29:35] hey Mike [18:47:10] hey [18:56:51] thewonderidiot, we now have three (identical) versions of one of the IBM RTCC documents. The one I got from UHCL 2.5 years ago, the one you made smaller and searchable... [18:57:14] and then UHCL accidentally scanned it again and send it to Matt who had requested something entirely different [18:57:19] seems to be a new scan even [18:57:52] and not like, the one they stored from the time I requested it [18:58:21] that answers one question I always had. I always thought, the more documents I request the more are now available (also from UHCL) as PDF [18:58:36] seems like that is not so [19:00:50] oh weird [19:01:21] would have been better if they accidentally scanned one of the RTCC documents we don't have yet :D [19:01:43] there is still a AS-200 IBM RTCC document, most likely mostly MED formats, not too interesting [19:01:53] and RTCC Coordinator's Reports for each mission [19:02:01] I have the one for Apollo 15, pretty nice stuff [19:02:16] that's basically all that there is left from IBM for the RTCC [19:02:28] ... aside from the system parameters that we actually wanted [19:02:43] mission systems, system parameters, almost the same [19:10:45] yeah one of those words is almost exactly the same [19:48:51] im going to be disconnected for a day or two, keep good logs [20:07:52] cya [19:01:24] morning! [19:03:00] er, afternoon [19:03:02] barely missed morning [19:06:14] Hi Mike [19:20:38] hey [19:31:41] what's up? [19:38:02] oh just organized the CSM panel code a bit today, but not much [19:38:12] and you? [19:40:40] working on fully fleshing out the mechanical design of the rope reader [19:41:15] I need to know the rough dimensions of the backplane board and how far apart the connectors are going to be on it [19:42:24] now that I have a fully assembled test reader board with all of the intended parts, I can factor its dimensions/clearances into the design, which I had been missing before [19:43:35] lots to still iron out, but this is how it's shaping up https://i.imgur.com/jHFXGMH.png [19:44:42] ah that already looks very nice [19:44:55] thanks :D [19:47:20] so the part in front is where the rope goes? I don't know much about its connections :D [19:48:51] yeah, this is the front view with the rope module not installed https://i.imgur.com/XfaJh9e.png [19:49:24] there's a 4x24 mini-wasp connector on the back. the module slides in, guided by the rails, and is fastened in place by the jacking screws at the front of the module [19:49:49] ah yeah that makes sense [19:50:59] https://i.imgur.com/ch5EaLe.png [19:52:38] right [19:53:03] all of 12 KB [19:53:25] hahaha yup [20:00:12] I was thinking about the Skylark rendezvous programs today [20:00:21] maybe one day I'll have to write it in Interpreter... [20:00:40] we do have the Norton document for Skylark... [20:01:15] so even you could write it then :P [20:01:41] hahaha [20:01:45] I could at least help :P [20:02:16] yeah, will be a good team effort, like figuring out P10/P11 in Sundance [20:03:04] hopefully it doesn't come that far [20:03:25] I'd rather learn how to rewrite the LVDC program for something that works in NASSP [20:04:39] I wonder how Ron's lawyer is doing [20:12:28] doing lots of things he actually gets paid for I assume :D [20:17:53] lol probably [20:57:22] night!
