These are the links to the 3 videos me and Jack made to help new students with flying the drones for our final.

Jack and I are currently taking footage and making a video about how to fly the drones and how to set the drones up. We have screen recorded footage on downloading the drone app both for Apple and Android as the process is a bit different. We have also taken footage of us setting up the drones, getting them ready for flight, and how to set up the controller and turn everything on. We still need to do some editing but we have most of the pieces. I am also working with Ann and madi on out CERT presentation. We are making sure that all of the original information/relevant information is used and that the presentation looks visually interesting. We will all be voicing different parts so I have been practicing my lines/script as well.
I have also continued to watch videos about the technician license.
Videos like amature radio tech license course lesson 1 part 3 and 4.

Weekly review nov 8
I watched Amateur Radio Technician License Course 2022-2026 Lesson 1 part 1 and part 2. It covered a bunch of questions that will be on the test and how to answer them. It cross referenced the actual website and taught the reasoning behind answers based on sections. I also researched Maltego, a "software used for open-source intelligence and forensics, developed by Paterva from Pretoria, South Africa." It lets you input someones information and get related entities
Maltego can be used to determine the relationships between the following Entities:
People. Names. Email addresses. Aliases.
Groups of people (social networks).
Companies.
Organizations.
Websites.
Internet infrastructure such as: Domains. DNS names. Netblocks. IP addresses.
Affiliations.
Documents and files.
We also looked at heat cameras that can be used to look at electronics, you can see what is just draining energy and it can be used for solar panels.
We talked about what we want our final projects to be. At first I was thinking of working to create a slideshow with basic python code for minecraft on raspberry pi that the lower campus students could use. It would have code to place blocks, remove blocks, and do other fun things. However I decided against that and I'm now Brainstorming other ideas. I was thinking I could do something with the drones. We talked about arcgis. I then decided to work with Jack on the acoustics. We will be using the generated sounds and the microphone to create sound maps of hpa rooms to see where sounds best and where sounds worst. This helps with decisions on where certain materials should be used.

Today we talked about Node Red. (Https://flows.nodered.org). Node Red is a browser based programming tool that makes it easy to wire together flows. Flows are the way we organize nodes and nodes are basic building blocks. We also looked at blender, a program that allows you to create models and put them into simulated enviornments. I downloaded it and could use it for texture packs or for art projects. We also looked at hpas solar energy on 10.14.8.2. We looked at the times of day when there's more energy being generated and talked about how you could use it to see what's going on in the dorms. We also looked at w3 schools html and python tutorials.

Today we talked about the weblogs. We talked about why we do them, where we are doing them, and how we feel about them. We also got snacks! We also discussed our projects and if we wanted to do group vs individual. Me and Madi then downloaded Blender to start working on models and after effects.

The water thing blew up so we had to leave but we talked through Starlink at starlink.sx. We opened up the page and saw all of the dots on the map each of which represents a satellite. The green ones are active, the yellow ones are inactive. We also learned that some astronomers are unhappy with the satellites because of interference.

Today we flew drones. We flew the big one that's expensive and has speakers and we flew the minis. We learned how to connect our phones and how to control movement. We also learned what to do when it goes out of range.

Today we watched Doug's video about CERT. We then talked about how we could improve the graphics and how they should specify what you can do as a civilian vs different levels of licenses.we also did the drones with nene. You have to download an app and then you can use your phone to say stuff.

1. I spent time studying for my tech license exam, familiarising myself with the bank of questions and looking into the online practice tests. I also talked to Peter about HTML, Raspberry Pi, and Python. We also had some fun with the air compressor machine and computers.
2. I'm thinking of taking the exam and then moving on to C++ and maybe more Java script. I might also start working on the arcade machine in Robertson because it's still broken.
3. I'm going to study for the tech exam license.
