A/D Conversion & Looping
This morning I learned how to create loops in Visual Basic, and on Friday I will be doing a lab with loops. I hope the lab isn't hard, as I've got a concert on Thursday night in the Convocation Center, (where JMU Basketball is played) featuring Jimmy Eat World and Taking Back Sunday. It should be a great concert.
In 253 today, we discussed binary conversions, which is what allows a computer to read analog sensor signal in a measurement system. This process of binary conversion, for computer analysis and storage is a part of Analog to Digital Conversion (A/D Conversion). Dr. Teate, showed us many examples of binary, however the conversion process is still a little confusing, but that's why he assigned a homework... to reinforce and allow understanding of the conversions.
In the scope of the semester, we are almost done! With 2 weeks left there are more semester projects, labs, and homework due over top each other... so I apologize in advance if my posts get a bit shorter, however I'll try to keep the frequency the same. Classwork takes priority in my life, however, I try and manage my time so that I can accomplish some extras (like the concert on Thursday) to maintain sanity.
Besides classes, college is also about learning to manage your time between social interaction and educational development.
