I’m preparing for a day hike at Blue Hills tomorrow morning with fellow MIT Outing Club members. Once there, we’ll be undergoing basic skills and orienteering. This is a fairly smooth hike with about 600′+/- elevation gain, once atop we’ll be cooking spaghetti for lunch and head back by sun down – I’m quite fond of night hikes.
Aside from this, I’m still working on my research…more to be said about that later. I have yet to build a project that utilizes my accelerometer chip (the very same chip inside the Nintendo Wii control, it measures rotation, tilt, and vibration) together with the microcontroller (a device that is programmable to interface with external sensors to do rather simple and sometimes complex tasks, like a line following robot for instance).
