January 30, 2019:
Soldering on one of the boards for GEOFF is near completion. I did a majority of the soldering during my class period. There were many challenges during the soldering process as two separate teams did work on it at separate times. I learned about collaborating and coordinating separate teams, and developed strategies for staying organized. I also learned a lot about electronics, a subject I wanted to delve more into. I learned how to solder, the basic principles of computer hardware and PCBs, and about electronics in general.

This past week I have been counting the circuit board parts that GEOFF needs for its PCBs. Here are the components we are missing:
1x DHT22 Temperature and Humidity Sensor
1x DC/DC Voltage Regulator, 5V 1A
1x DC/DC Voltage Regulator, 9V 1A
2x 10µF ±10% 50V Ceramic Capacitor X7S Radial
2x 33µH Unshielded Wirewound Inductor 1.9A 220 mOhm Max Axial
2x 22µF ±20% 16V Ceramic Capacitor X7R Radial
1x TVS Zener Diode 12V 17.1V 1.5KE
1x Green 527nm LED Indication – Discrete 3.4V Radial
6x 2 (1 x 2) Position Shunt Connector Black Open Top 0.100″ (2.54mm) Gold
1x 3 DS18B20 Temperature Sensors

My and a few other GEOFF member’s White Papers were uploaded today. They provide more insight into the GEOFF and PANOPTES projects and can be found here.
November 14, 2018:
Checked build guides for grammar errors. Work on the GEOFF telescope is still waiting for the arrival of the PCBs and other building materials.
November 12, 2018:
Edited whitepapers by other GEOFF team members.
November 5, 2018:
Helped setup GEOFF for poster presentation.
October 31, 2018:
Designed O-ring to be laser cut that will protect camera lenses from the weather.
October 29, 2018:
Prepared for Dark Matter Day on 10/30/18 and reflected on my year so far.
October 24, 2018:
Added safety tape around aluminum weatherproofing shields in order to prevent injury when working around GEOFF. Continued work on the poster.
October 22, 2018:
Worked on the poster that will be shown at the WISRD poster presentation on November 5th. Still waiting on tape to complete safety of weatherproofing.
