Space Shuttle Pinball



The Centrifuge at Goddard Space Flight Center.  In this picture, a Hubble instrument is about to
be tested (on tilt table to the left of the picture).  This massive facility can be spun at up to 20 rpm, leading
to a speed of about 100 mph at the ends.  The hardware then experiences 15 G's of acceleration.  For scale, note
the test technician standing on the movable platform.




In 2002, I was on the development team for the RF-250 wireless
keyboard from Wireless Computing.

I wrote the software for the microprocessor in both the keyboard and the USB receiver,
and did the overall design on the electrical circuit of both devices.
