<DIV></DIV>I have a blog at:<BR><BR><A
href="http://www.devcentre.org">http://www.devcentre.org</A><BR><BR>Under the
"science" tab I've got all my Open Boat content, with articles from conception
to implementation. I've made some mistakes along the way, some quite expensive -
such as blowing up a motor controller by plugging it into the wrong polarity,
and I am still to have a 100% operational boat. However, I'm not far
away.<BR><BR>I've just been made redundant through restructuring so I have some
time to write up things in some more detail. <BR><BR>My next challenge is
developing the magnetic compass hardware and software. I know there are
commercial compasses, but they are kind of expensive. I'm going to use two hall
effect sensors and see if I can write the software to interpret the readings
from these sensors.<BR><BR>I've also been writing a simulator which will be able
to test the software. And yes - I will be releasing all the source very soon. It
was suggested I add to the Wiki projects page as well - so I will. As you can
see I have a bit on my to do list now :)<BR><BR><BR><BR>
