This is the program that makes our sample stage run. Then most of the morring Ann(the under paid incomming freshman, that is vegan) and I collected data on the robustness of each motors by making them execute extreme angles and then they had to go 5 increments a time to test the accuracy of each motor. Then we graphed each motors outcome in excel. Then I went to lunch and i had a salad w/ italia dressing and chi chi beans and manderain oranges. I sat w/ a bunch of the incomming freshman honor students 1 is from texas and one got hit by a car. They both ate fish, i hate fish. Then i got back to my cold dark lair. I finished typing the report and then ann got back from the class she went to about a book she didnt read. Then we whipped out the old pulnix accupixal camera and tried to get it communicating w/ labview. We took lots of videa and pictures of our selves and randomly ran labview programs designed by the cameras company but most of them suck, but we got a few to work. Now we need a way to save the pictures/movie files we create cause labview wont let us. Now I am typing this extensivly researched blog and then I am going to learn how to correctly write a lab report. Then I will drive home in my poniac G5 and maybe ill go see the new batman movie cause it look really good. peace out
