    Discussion Construct a Moon lander within one term

    No. Crater provided just the kind of inconclusive result certain managers needed to justify doing nothing in face of a looming accident. This is why they actively moved to block requests for DOD imagery (which never made it to DOD, but it's another matter). Jon Harpold was the Director of...

    Discussion Construct a Moon lander within one term

    I have built working prototypes without simulating anything. In fact, some macromodels are so hilariously bad that using them is a loss of time. You will get a working circuit quicker if you are breadboarding. Here is an example which often pops up in class: in circuit simulators, you can get...

    Discussion Construct a Moon lander within one term

    The OP asked if it is possible to construct a lander within the specified time frame, and it's pretty natural to assume that the construction phase ends with the first flight. No, you can't. I've seen too many circuits which work in simulator but fail in real life (or vice versa) to treat...

    SDK Question Coding for Beta plus Backwards Compatibility to O2010

    It's actually strange that a DLL built for 2010 does not run under 2016. If the API is supposed to be backwards compatible, this is a bug. Maybe ask martins...? If the number of conflicts is low, you can work around that one as well. Steps: 1. Make a DLL which wraps oapi::Sketchpad into a C...

    Multiple Joysticks OR Joy API extensions request

    [/COLOR] You lost me here. At SDK level, RCS groups are controlled independently of switch settings. Do you want your joystick control to be affected by the RCS switch or not? (And BTW, the RCS switch is evil: it's a confusing, unnecessary hack.)
