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.

Love & More - Act 1

Right from the first day I saw you, I was drawn to you. Not love at first sight, but an attraction that I still cherish today after 13 years.  I still remember the many walks we took when we started talking. My-o-my, I loved talking with you. I still do. Maybe I was listening more, now that I think of it. The one thing I recall was you made it easy to talk and thinking of the walks between White House (Engineering Building) and Computer science Building including other locations within the Obafemi Awolowo University community? Still cherish them. You have come to show me another part of life, completing me in areas I am not as strong. Still a journey for me but I cherish the process even though I sometimes react to the adjustments. I cherish the results though. I love it when you are happy. When you smile (even at my dry jokes). I love it when you excel at the things you do. formal and informal.  I appreciate your thoughtfulness to things. I guess it comes with you being so st...

Love & More - Act 2

 It has been a while we had the movie night. We have some history with movie nights I must say. From the times in Akure, Lagos and now, Amstelveen.  Whenever we watch, it exciting. I enjoyed the action movies and then the love ones. I enjoy all of it anyway cos we watch together. the taking it back so you understand better is not so fun for me sha..me i have moved on in cases like that.....but anyways, i agree with you.......better to understand the context. When did we start watching movies together?   Before we got married I guess. I guess this was in Lagos before I took the job with BEDC. Not sure if we watched any on our own or always with Bukky and Busayo. But anyways..the history was formed. Cinemas. one thing I loved about Igbatoro, Akure was the Filmhouse Cinemas at the Akure Mall.  and then those cozy evening when we did nothing but watch a move together. Do you always stay up when we watch? Now I have to write that you might stay up with the first movie but...

The Many Walks with Kiity

 Ever heard of the benefits of 30 minutes walk everyday?  I bet you have. Walking is a great way to improve or maintain our overall health. Just 30 minutes every make a change in your life. I took a walk for 1 hour once and I felt the effects. It was about 8km in all and I could feel my legs tingling when I finished. The next day, the muscles spoke and I was happy.  Kiity and I enjoy taking lots of walks. We did that a lot in Nigeria both individually and together. I enjoy it more when we do it together. Since we arrived the Netherlands in April this year, we have had several walks and I enjoy it more when we do it together.   Walking over a small bridge, De Poel, Amstelveen I decide to take walks for many reasons;  - To exercise. - To clear my head and away from the familiar - To see the environment and new places. - To breathe a different air. The most important is to talk. This is when I do it with Kiity. We have to talk about something as we go.  W...
