I reckon it'd be outside somewhere

This was very humorous, K888.

Week 1, Day 3-4

A good couple of days!

- Did some configuring of some ethernet radios. Basically what we're doing is adding automation capabilities to big cranes that dump metal in a factory, and those cranes need to be able to rotate and move freely. No wires coming off them to our comms on the floor - So, we use radios. Noice. Ended up being a huge thing because I still don't have admin privileges on my laptop and this made it difficult to change the IP address so I could work with the radios in the first place - But fun.
- Did some work in AutoCad doing some electrical drawings. Now I've had experience with AutoCad, but very very little and a long time ago. My manager was great and taught me lots on how to do better drawings more quickly - Faaaar better with the software now than I was this morning. To any budding engineers out there, learn CAD - Super important and a skill I've neglected to this point  :P

Back home now for Australia Day long weekend! Catch y'all next week :)

Week 2

The start of this week was absolutely rotten, as I got floored by what was either the worst stomach virus ever, or food poisoning. A bunch of my partner's family got sick at the same time and we ate together on Saturday, so I'm guessing the latter.

On Wednesday, I went with my supervisor to see a client who wanted some electrical design work done. Inspected their project, came up with some concepts, and I did a preliminary drawing for them in the afternoon. Was cool to work on something that actually ended up in front of a client :)

My last two days I focused on configuring some RFID tags. Essentially, we're working on a project that has a bunch of cranes moving along lines, and we want to track their position. To do this, we're attaching an RFID reader to each crane, then attaching RFID tags all along the line. The reader picks up the tags and knows whereabouts it is - Lovely.

Only, we have 140 tags per line. And six lines. Guess who's configuring all 840 tags? This guy.

I mean, someone has to do it and I'm literally not angsty about it at all, but it's very monotonous. Sit the tag on the reader, enter tis identifier, upload the config and label it with a permanent marker - About a 30 second process, a minute once you add my pedantic checks at regular intervals to make sure everything is working. Repeated eight hundred and forty times.

I did about five hundred today alone - Funsies ;)
