Jim,
In this case it
wouldn’t have helped since I wouldn’t have gotten to the point of
reading the documentation for a long time since we already had everything
running. As I mentioned in another email, it does point out the benefit
of the peer review. Although this is not a classic example, Stephen was
able to look at our problem with a fresh perspective, unbiased by our prior
experience with the receiver and spot the problem that we should all have thought
of but didn’t. I’ve seen this exact thing happen over and
over. The fact that Stephen was not involved in the receiver project that
was his strength. Knowing the CAN-Do network inside and out was of course
a huge plus too!
73,
Juan

Guys:
There's a lesson here: DOCUMENTATION
Juan expected/assumed one thing, the CAN-Do! widget was something else.
Other teams will go through exactly the same issue. SO, it appears we
need to add some documentation to each WIDGET in terms of serial number,
address, and probably a handful of other things I don't know about.
Let's learn from this experience.
Juan, thanks to you and your team for perservering.
Stephen, thanks for your prompt support on a short fuse.
This kind of response and mutual support is exemplary, and what it will take to
get Eagle on orbit.
Thanks & very 73,
Jim

Wow, this is a relief. I'm glad it was something simple....after allthe hunting and pecking we did yesterday, I'm glad it was something sosimple. I guess when the term "bus" is used, an address as probably key togetting to your destination. ;-) Dave On 9/16/07, Juan Rivera <juan-rivera@sbcglobal.net> wrote:
