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.

The Hyrox

We call it the bootcamp. For today, the activity is called the Hyrox.  As I type, I am yet to check the dictionary for the meaning of the word 'hyrox' to verify if it even exists. I think it should anyway. FYI- I will check after I finish scribbling.  In the picture above are my colleagues at Leaseweb. We had just gone through 35 minutes of some gruesome exercise. They appeared to be simple and light but as you had to do it repetitively, they become tasking and the pain keeps on coming. We do this once a week to encourage people to keep fit or rather create an avenue to exercise despite the bussle of the week. Focus today as on 6 activities and we had to do it in multiple rounds. You can fid the list below: 1. 1km run on the treadmill 2. Burpees  3. Row/Ski 4. Lunges 5. Sit ups  6. Farmer's Carry 7. 1km run on the treadmill. It is good the Coach was unable to spell my name correctly so I am unable to claim a position. But to make it easy for you, I did the least numb...

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...

Dam tot Dam 2.0 in 2025

  Ran the 2025 Dam tot Dam loop again in 2025. The Night Run. I did this in 2024 and documented here . This time around, I went in for the fun and thrill. You can imagine that I did not practice as I did the last time. "I had done it a year ago, I must be able to do it again" was my mindset. Never mind that I had added about 3-5kg in weight. I was unbothered and so sure it would be done. Last, Last as we say in pidgin English, " I go waka am " which simply means that I would walk all the way. But I did not have to. In fact, I made it in an earlier time compared to the previous year. I made two phone calls during the run to show how i was just in the mood to enjoy it.  Now that I think of making a better time than the previous year. I consider that I must have been slow in 2024. what improved? I do not know.  I was having a conversation with some colleagues some days ago and they were asking for my running plans for the year 2026. I simply said another 8km. But they...
