	<daveake> Our postman has a second job as an electrical system tester
	[10:00] <daveake> (you can do your own punchline)
	[10:00] <daveake> perhaps you can't ... :p
	[10:01] <ibanezmatt13> I'm sorry, I don't have a punchline :)
	[10:01] <daveake> postman PAT
	[10:01] <fsphil> oh dear
	[10:01] <ibanezmatt13> oh god
	[10:01] <ibanezmatt13> :)
	[10:01] <daveake> worth the wait, no?
	[10:01] <HixWork> too early for that lark

	[16:23] <daveake> I shall explain how it works ...
	[16:24] <ibanezmatt13_> thanks
	[16:24] <daveake> ... by getting you to figure it out :-)
	[16:24] <ibanezmatt13_> sure :)
	[16:24] <daveake> So, the CPU pin (Tx on the Pi) is set to low or high
	[16:25] <daveake> low is 0V so that's GND, and high is 3.3V so that's Vcc
	[16:25] <ibanezmatt13_> ok, i'm with you so far
	[16:25] <daveake> Good
	[16:25] <daveake> So that goes through a resistor let's say it's 30k
	[16:25] <ibanezmatt13_> yep

This is a Python program for my first HAB (high-altitude balloon) flight. The flight will go ahead with the callsign "MATT-1" as it's my first launch and my name's Matt :) The program is split into three functions. There is a function to read the GPS and process the data receiver; a function to convert the returned position data into decimal lat…

	#!/usr/bin/python

	# import required libraries
	import serial
	import crcmod
	import time
	import time as time_

	gps_set_sucess = False # boolean for the status of flightmode

	[10:11] <ibanezmatt13> I mean it's working perfectly with it in, but I just wanted to know if it would harm the ublox
	[10:14] <daveake> no not at all
	[10:15] <ibanezmatt13> excellent. My program is now utterly bombproog
	[10:15] <ibanezmatt13> bombproof :)
	[10:15] == marcosscriven [[email protected]] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
	[10:15] <ibanezmatt13> I've reset the GPS while it's been running, taken out the TX line, the RX line, everything. And it still works :)
	[10:15] <daveake> A bold statement; you'll soon learn not to make those :)
	[10:16] <daveake> Seriously though well done
	[10:17] <Upu> lol
	[10:17] <ibanezmatt13> thanks :)
