Wing Saga

Scoped out putting the wing tip on and decided against it for now, I'll do it during the winter in the house. Finished the platenut detailing for the wing root fairing, and acid etched and alodined the skins. In the evening, Cathy and I finished the grouting on the floor so we could start moving things back in for winter.

On the uNav front, I got the source codes for the stargate computer compiler on my Linux box and now I can run the uNav data through the serial port and have the software do the filtering to product the AHRS results, i.e. the pitch, roll and yaw angles, altitude, speed, latitude and longitude. Now to dig up a laptop, or it's going to look kind of funny with with my Samsung monitor in the back seat of the Oldsmobile for testing!

I figure to run the device in the station wagon I'll have to put it on a cardboard box to keep it away from all the iron! The magnetometers are sensitive, as demonstrated quite easily with a screwdriver placed a few inches from the device.
