As I mentioned yesterday, I am travelling through a rabbit hole of work with the goal of debugging my experiments. Before I can focus on my experimental set-up, I am determined to improve the methods behind the scenes. It's a mentally challenging job because even though you're making progress, in the back of your mind you know you're not even to the "important" or "hard" work.
That said, today was a fun day and although I still need to focus on the experiments and collecting data, I am very pleased with my progress today. So what kind of work was it? Programming. Pure code. Specifically Python code on two levels, a user interface (using the PySide Python bindings for Qt development) and a back-end to give the UI functionality. Additionally I worked on the code that sits on my instrument, which is currently compiled using through the Arduino IDE.
