MMA7260QT's SLP pin goes bad...or so I thought

What a day!

I don't know the extent of what i've done. Here I am still battling with a project i should have concluded 4 months. Thanks to some travels by my supervisor and some lack of information on my part. Just this morning working by 2am, i was soldering the MMA7260Qt accelerometer and that was it.... I peeled off the metal part that enable you solder a metal to the board. how am I going to go further? I was supposed to be at the physiotherapist"s place by 10am....Never mind, the issue aint with me. I was supposed to get acceleration readings based on the Centre of Mass of the body from some patients with certain conditions either neurological, hemiphlegic and so on...... Haaaa! frank edwards on the background and I am thinking what the hell am i gonna do. the playlist went off to baba Adeboye and the title of the message was "God has a purpose for your life"... I cudn't just touch it.....but then he said something that kinda consoled me....."Every dissapointment is a Blessing in disguise". This consoled me even though I felt i was on an edge. I decided to sleep by 4.21am. then woke up by 5.30 to get some water in another hall(we've been suffering this for a week now). got the water, slept the more....till 8am. was supposed to call Mrs Obembe(Dept of Medical Rehabilitation) that I wouldn't be able to meet up for 10am. I looked out the window and I saw OD with her friends going (tryd calling her in the early hours of the morning-she had been working on an assignment thru  the night and her lights went off like 1.33am). I returned the soldering iron i borrowed, went off to buy sme credit only to see her with her friends. Some weren't happy the class had been cancelled but i guess OD was since she cud get some more rest (don't think she got a lot thru the nyt). Got credit from Tolu (hmm....Seyi o), called up Mrs Obembe..she said I needed prayers (I prayed after)....and then off to have my bath to get to class for more info on this component, hoping i wont have to buy another from skpang.co.uk.................................I'm actually here in the lab typing this at the moment, its not been funny, found out I needed to set the SLP pin that got bad to HIGH for it to work. if only i understood the whole thing. I'm still on it...lets see at the end of the day....will surely type something here for you.

An Open Letter to Kunfaiyeoluwa

  I would love to draft a long letter to you. But the thoughts and words captured above say a lot that I want you to carry on for the rest of your life.  You indeed have a legacy to cherish and to build on. Your mum, grand-mums and great-grand-mums are one of the strongest and determined persons I have met and I know the seed lives on in you. Yes, I did come to know them all and I see the foundation you have to lean on. You are Royalty both Spiritually and by Land Origin. 1 Pet 2:9 reminds me of your spiritual royalty and the knowledge that you are of the origin of men who have reigned as Kings in Nigeria both in Kogi and Ondo States. Therefore, let the words scribed above by the Queen of the Southern Nigerian Kingdom bring light to you today and for every other day. I was watching a movie during the past weekend and it showcased a Father who stood by his daughter even when the whole community were against her. I would like you to know that I would be by your side from Day 1 t...

The Vacation Idea

  Kiity and I differ on this. What is a vacation? What is a retreat? Kiity made me think of retreat. To me, every time away from work is a vacation. This is my simple definition.  I recall when I was studying. The same definition applied. Anytime away from school is a vacation. When the school is not in session, we are on vacation. The same has applied to my work life.  But Kiity sees it differently. She had to google this and the AI overview gave the feedback below: A vacation is primarily for relaxation and fun, while a retreat focuses on personal growth, self-reflection, and often includes structured activities aimed at improving well-being Kiity is right by this definition. I have told her.  In my own world, it seems definitions are simple and when adhered to, makes my life simple. Where did all this come from? It came from a post Kiity made on Polarsteps about "our first Family Vacation". I looked at it and said we had done a lot of vacations in the past based o...

Dam tot Dam loop Business Run - 5miles or 8km - Done!

  Yes, I did. And it was fun. I ran the Dam tot Dam loop Business Run 5Miles. And it was amazing to do this for the first time ever in 2024.  I got to know about the run about 2 months ago during a chat with Jana Reiss and I was interested. I had seen a friend and former line manager at MainOne, Ayomide, run marathons and amass medals from the run. I have also seen another former line manager, Vremudia run a lot including the marathons.  Living in the Netherlands made it easy to join the band wagon. You have roads with a bicycle path and the walk way aside the road for cars. Thus, I loved to joined the band wagon and have now taken part in the first long distance run.  I did the run the 8K in 1:08:10 Hrs. the best runner of the day did it in 25 mins. A pretty long way to get to for me. But I recall in my practice, the first time I did the 8K was 1:15:00 Hrs and the second time 1:09:00 Hrs. So a little improvement but definitely within my plan. I wasn't aiming to be t...
