Distance coding for OBI1
Hello there! My name is Rickard Åkerstrand, and I'm a member in the software division of BESPIN (I'm also in the outreach division, but that's another story).
Today I would like to talk a little about the fact that tho our little microcontroler OBI1 is up in Kiruna, I can sit down here in Luleå and writing the code for our GPS-module, and still working on the freshest of code that the division can produce. This is thanks to tools such as Bitbucket, a web-based version control repository hosting service and Sourcetree, A Git GUI that offers a visual representation of our repositories.
This is really helpfull for the development of our project, specially as we are students we technicaly have "summer vecation" away from our university right now and might be going home to family and friends during this time. With these tools we are still able to work on the same code as if we would be in Kiruna and code directly on our little fellah OBI1.
Though, we can only do as much as write code and look for errors in the compiler. To be able to test our code on the acctual OBI1 we do need to be in Kiruna. But as we are the best of programmers, the chanses of us making an error is highly improbable.
Out little OBI1 will make the bestest of landings <3
