New Things (Week of 3/6)

First full week of March and I'm bouncing around the place with things to do. This week I started off with adding some new art pieces to my room and I did this by rastering with our laser cutter. I cut 3 different pieces out.

Double cycle deep engrave for this 2nd piece.

We also got a new lathe.

New lathe got photobombed

Eventually I will try to make a bolt action pen on this lathe. I started the CAD for it but there's other things I'm working on before this is operational.

When testing the new stoplight features Mr. Christy and I realized that if the code was rewritten the new stoplight features would be easier to implement. I've decided I would give it a chance to undertake and rewrite the code but we will see how long this will last.

I started the rewriting process by trying to have a more comprehensive array.

Example below:

int schedule[30][5] { 
  {7, 45, 4, ADV, REG},
  {7, 52, 56, PR1, REG}, 
  {8, 51, 56, PR2, REG}, 
  {9, 50, 56, PR3, REG}, 
  {10, 51, 56, PR4, REG}, 
  {11, 50, 30, LUN, REG}, 
  {12, 23, 56, PR5, REG}, 
  {13, 22, 56, PR6, REG}, 
  {7, 45, 5, ADV, HLF}, 
  {7, 53, 42, PR1, HLF}, 
  {8, 38, 38, PR2, HLF}, 
  {9, 19, 38, PR3, HLF}, 
  {10, 0, 38, PR4, HLF}, 
  {10, 41, 36, PR5, HLF}, 
  {11, 22, 38, PR6, HLF}, 
  {7, 45, 5, ADV, AAC}, 
  {7, 53, 48, PR1, AAC},
  {8, 44, 48, PR2, AAC}, 
  {9, 35, 44, ACT, AAC}, 
  {10, 22, 48, PR3, AAC}, 
  {11, 48, 48, PR4, AAC}, 
  {12, 6, 30, LUN, AAC}, 
  {12, 39, 48, PR5, AAC}, 
  {13, 30, 48, PR6, AAC},
  {7, 45, 30, ADV, EXT}, 
  {8, 18, 52, PR1, EXT}, 
  {9, 13, 52, PR2, EXT}, 
  {10, 8, 52, PR3, EXT}, 
  {11, 3, 55, PR4, EXT}, 
  {11, 58, 30, LUN, EXT}, 
  {12, 31, 52, PR5, EXT},
  {13, 26, 52, PR6, EXT}, 
}

We will see if this process is worth continuing but right now I have the motivation to do so.
