26 October '17- Day 18_ Bluetooth wireless connection & Dynamic memory allocation

Day 18.  The class began with the overall excitement to learn about blue tooth connectivity with Arduino.  A few student additions ,from days of past, came into the class to learn of this so called bluetooth magic.  The Lab included the bluetooth shield we were to work on and get connected with via our laptop or smartphone.  This task was no small feat.  Since everyone in the class was trying to connect to their bluetooth Arduino shield, it became a fiasco to figure out whose board belong to whom in the slue of identical device names.  Some were more successful than other when it came to identifying the correct devices and only one or two groups were successful in renaming their devices.  As the lab went on, certain students fell onto dark times as they were unable to ultimately crack the davinci code for their bluetooth lab.  The professor of the dark arts, Sir Martin Mason, began to instruct on how to properly utilize dynamic memory allocation in our C programming for the class.  This became a vital process as to run a program with not enough memory available could cause it not to run.  it can also optimize the amount of run time the program would need to complete what ever process we assign it.
