Micropython ain’t cutting it it seems, and now I’m stuck using C- something I hoped I’d never experience. It’s not half bad actually but… I’ll be damned if it isn’t as bookbound as an old rodgercodger in his dodger. That being said, I’ve come up with a fairly decent plan for how to handle the bat recorder I’m concocting- I just have to code it up!

At the moment I’m just coding for the MicroSD-SRAM and all the data logging/etc. The external SPI potentiometers and cascaded op-amp I’m scheming will be easily done- the SRAM/SD interaction/data timing/etc not so much. It’s good fun but… embedded programming is different to the stuff I did for my MSc- so it’s a learning curve.
On another note- here’s one of my favourite recent photographs!… I went to Aviemore last month and still have to edit them, but a lot of them are quite good!

I’ll have more of an update on photography and this project up in no time (a more conclusive one) but for now, that’s all there is. I’m afraid I’m not doing too well at the moment due to my living conditions and will have to give up on looking for a PhD for the moment- I need a job and to move out before I can worry about that, or I might just end up offing myself in the process 😅
