Diagram of initial board drawing:
...
- Begin thinking about lock-in design
- We want to deconstruct the signal received at the return photodiode with respect to the signal at the reference photodiode
- Review lock-in notes
Background material/readingLook at some Hubble diagrams, supernova classificationBackground reading from email!
- Figure out how to LaTeX in Wiki/set up package to do so!
- GPT said use LaTeX syntax enclosed in '<math>' tags to TeX – workspace settings did not allow this
- Looking through more wiki documentation it seems Confluence is in this workspace
- GPT says: Confluence, a popular wiki software, supports LaTeX through the MathJax plugin. You can enable MathJax in Confluence to render LaTeX equations.
- apparently, if MathJax is enabled in Confluence, things should show up as TeX if you put them in dollar signs; however, I tested this below and it did not work.
- How to enable MathJax plugin without Confluence login?
Come up with a project name acronym (MOAT = Monitor Of Atmospheric Transmission currently)word possbilities: retroreflector, aerosol, detector, multicolor, automated, lockin, collimated, etc.
...
- Conceptually flush out what we are trying to accomplish
- Do back of the envelope calculations and figure out what we expect numbers wise
- Get all part numbers for setup, and order all materials
Update 11/29:
Have completed readings, have a few questions. Writing Physics 95 final paper on this project, which should help me better absorb the background material!
