    Today the beginning of the class was spent talking about projects with Dr. Bill. He suggested that as many of us as can take the test to get our HAM radio license and I think I want to do that. After that, Chris, Will and I went outside and tried to get the Inspire to work. We brought both of them but could only get Phineas to work at the end. I had to download new firmware to the remote, which I did through the phone. Then, Chris switched the gimbal from Ferb over to Phineas because the other gimbal on Phineas wasn't working. Then, I had to format the SD card in the gimbal and download firmware from the website to my computer and put it on the SD card. Even after that, it wasn't working, and the cord connecting the remote to the phone wasn't working, so we switched that. It still didn't connect to the drone, so we tried to connect the other remote and that finally worked, but we had to download firmware from the app onto that remote also. We finally got the drone to take off and it felt sooooooo good to fly the inspire again. We do need to update the battery and something else on the drone, but it flew so at least we got it working. Next class, we're gonna try and get the other drone to work and once Ilan is done with what he is working on now and the laser cutters work, we can start making parts to fit the rest of the components onto the new drone.
