Chronicles from our peeps.
After delaying the comparative algorithm aspects of the application for some time, it was great being able to finally make some implementable progress on it this week. It began with the primitive idea of using the normal distribution to estimate relative difference in scoring between two players based on the Read more…
I started off this week by troubleshooting and testing the flash functions. In harmony there are two non-volatile memory drivers, NVM and Flash. Usage of the flash driver is simpler compared to NVM. The functions allow you to write a word, quad word, or a defined row size. Though you Read more…
Bouncing is the likelihood of metals to come into contact with each other, when the contact is opened or closed, producing unwanted multiple signals. Debouncing is the method of making sure only one desired signal is produced based on a single opening or closing of a contact. I have proceeded Read more…
This week was mainly spent finishing up the flow of the program. I first started with modifying the data file importer to accommodate the requested changes and continued with the addition of the CRUD functionalities of the admin page. I then started work on the MC page to handle the Read more…
For this week my progress is still slow. I continued my study about CakePHP and at the same time I tried my best to understand the structure of the first project that Dr.Shawn gave me. I also do some study about PHP just to recall back what I have learned Read more…
I work on generating Verilog version of source code based on user input which is coded in C++ this week. I study Verilog-mode and the way of this tool functions to properly instantiate the signals’ name. I make sure the program labels each device respectively to user’s input while doing Read more…
I spent this week jumping between tasks as I tend to get bored working on the same thing for long. This week I worked on implementing HOTP, flash and troubleshooting the SSL server. HOTP works by computing an HMAC based on 1- A static secret key generated by the server and Read more…
My work on the passive buzzer had entered its 4th week. I did not like that 4 weeks means a month. When days become weeks, and weeks become a month, you know your work performance is not doing good and you need to do something about it. I wish I Read more…
Eighth week. Slow. I did not manage to implement HOTP nor SSL. My cryptography knowledge is weak. I had a ton of studying to do and even more still. As for SSL, with some slight troubleshooting it should work soon, but its not a priority at the moment. Flash code is also not Read more…
On the first day, another intern and I met Dr. Shawn in the office. He directed us to setup some tools for the office usage and he also gave us a talk about the concept of gitflow. Just like every other intern, Dr. Shawn treated us a lunch at the Read more…
