A lot of little tasks were done this week. I built up some connectors for my circuit board so that we can plug everything into it. The most challenging of the connectors being the headphones; it took me a long time to find the pin numbers so that I could make sure the wires went to the correct places. Once I had the pinout it took only a short time to make the connector itself.
Some of this week was spent testing a navigation device the ship uses. We had to check various readouts including AC resistance, DC resistance, and current draw. It was certainly an interesting task and you can immediately tell which ones are new based on how loud they are when they go off. Don’t have to ask if the button is being pushed if you can hear the high pitched beep!
