Day 18 I think...

Today the main challenge of the day was to find out why the man ate albatross and then killed himself after. We  also cleaned out our tank and silicon-ed the middle divider to try and stop what we think is rust. We looked at the oscilloscope to try and find out what was wrong with our sensors. later we found a way for the pressure sensors to not create binned data by making it take 4 extra readings per loop and it has been working. We also did calibration test and put the data into excel to see how the sensors are working. We have also screwed Flossy's stand to a shelf  that's about three feet high to have the Arduino sit without moving. We also polyurethaned the shelf and flossy's stand.
More calibration tests

  1. Where were we....

    Sensor wire was coming lose, so we need to try calibration again. If anyone has ideas for a container or method of putting less pressure on the sensor wires, we could try that.

    Finalize calibrated code, check it.

    Get solution mixed up, less than 13K, nice and red.
    Fill an additional garbage can with tap water.

    get buckets with over flows in place.

    get Flossy parallel to table again.

    get camera in place.

    get over flow system set-up (EC meter, pump to get water from long black big to a garbage can.

    DECIDE ON INITIAL RUN.
    We could just go with the continuous 12 to 2...
    I have been thinking about trying a tiny theshhold oscillation first and then switching to the big threshold oscillation This might help it get red/salty more consistently, if it doesn't have the extra high water to dilute itself over. It would be harder on code, switch codes while level is falling on the low one? doable, but a bit tricky timing... Other suggestions welcome!

    get sand into tank

    get clean tubes, so we don't get those white salt residue blobs

    Feel free to add to this list!
