The snow fell last night! Probably a good 6 inches too. The Knob got around 11 inches, and it's a good thing since I'm heading up there next weekend to do a little Snowboard Dance. Work consisted of coding all day. Today I allowed for automatic Bin Fill even if a plant has no Ultra Sonic or some other sort of analog sensor. The plant must at least have some sort of level detection that consists of a low and high point, but that's really all that is needed. Then, I worked on the beltscale that has been put off for a while. Things look good. We look to do some testing shortly. The main concern now if figuring out if calibrating the scale on a horizontal conveyor belt can be done the same as on an inclined belt. Gary says we need to factor in the incline grade, but I say no. If the zero is given on the incline and a load is given on an incline, then the calibration is done. With the load on the incline it's already adjusted for it. Let me know your thoughts. Well, that's about all for now. Adios!
