The MouseAir software is pretty simple. At least compared to the code for ProjectCuracao (that ran to over 10,000 lines of code). There are two main pieces of software. First is the MouseAir.py program. It consists of about 1000 […]
The MouseAir project is moving along nicely. We have a deadline coming up next week for the article on this project, so things need to come together quickly. Here is a great little video showing the MouseAir Launching system. The […]

All of our equipment has arrived here on the island. TSA inspected the box twice, but aside from picking up the box with the outside temperature sensor, pulling the wires off, it survived. The temperature sensor was fixable. There were […]
We have made one more addition to the hardware on Project Curacao. We have added a BM017 / TCS34725 RGBC color sensor to the device. Here is the device attached to the back of the top of the box and […]
We have been asked to put together tables showing the i2c and GPIO mappings for both the Raspberry Pi and the Arduino Battery Watchdog in Project Curacao. While you can figure it out from the software and comments, it would […]
As we get closer to system deployment (March 2014), I am running more system level tests. The first of these (the week of November 17-24) revealed the following problems that need to be addressed: – The DHT22 sensor is returning more errors […]
Measuring negative currents with the INA219 Note: These INA219 devices have been replaced by our 3 Channel INA3221 board. We read somewhere that the Adafruit C++ library has a bug in the INA219 High Side current measuring device library so […]
