I have seen both setups at invitationals. In my opinion, we should not be able to see the thermometers reading as you could read out yours when they are close to matching. At Solon, we could not see the thermometer reading and since it was the Nats ES, I expect it should be that way in the future.

Hi all, My regional doesn't run protein modeling, so I'm in the midst of getting ready for the state-level as my first go around this year. Last year in NYS, the ES's used Jsmol to do the onsite build, is it likely that the visualization part of the test will also be in Jsmol as well, or should I e...

Does anyone know how to display ions in Jmol? For example the central zinc atom in APOBEC3A? I came across a question on a test that asked the distance between the central iron atom and a proximal histidine at residue 93 in protein 1mbn.pdb. I tried commands such as select iron and select _fe and d...

Hello. So I was wondering if any type of Insulation Material is even required since my probe works fine with soldered wires and heat wrap (and the wire is already insulated as/is so is there any type of requirement to have some sort of coating on the length of your whole probe, or is that not neces...

Does anyone know if a potentiometer (variable resistor) could be used for on-the-fly calibration at the event? Hmm.. I think you could use a potentiometer to adjust the brightness/contrast of your LCD if you are using one. From what I have heard, the event supervisor may not show you the reading on...

How do you find out how many bits are noisy? From the documentation or another way?

First thing to check would be what values are you reading from your sensor without any conversion/calculation. They should be be between 8500 and 5000 for around 0 to 70 degrees. If you are not getting those values, something is wrong with the circuit wiring or the sensor. Did you double check the c...

Hi, You have the correct approach and equations. What values of m and b did you calculate? 'm' should be around -0.0201 and 'b' around 175 (for that sensor with the TI innovator hub). If not close to those values, you must be reading incorrect values. For ex. around 2 degrees C, it should read appro...

Did anyone notice that analog sensors (with a linear function) predict with greater error at colder temperatures (i.e. closer to 0 C)? How are you guys compensating for this? I think piecewise functions were mentioned earlier.
