Chapter 28 Acknowledgements
Dr. Carlos Montalvo would like to acknowledge a few key members who made this textbook possible. First and foremost I would like to thank Adafruit for their entire ecosystem of electronics, tutorials, blogs and forums. Much of what I have learned here to teach Instrumentation was from Adafruit and the Adafruit Learn system and specifically people like Lady Ada and John Park who have helped shape CircuitPython and the CircuitPlayground Express to what it is today[32][34][30]. I would also like to thank Dr. Saami Yazdani for creating the blueprint for Instrumentation at my university by creating a laboratory environment for an otherwise totally theoretical course. His course was the foundation for this textbook and for that I thank him for showing the way. I’d like to also thank and acknowledge Tangibles that Teach for giving me the opportunity to morph this loose set of projects into a textbook that can be used for multiple universities and classrooms and of course help students learn and acquire knowledge through creating. I’d also like to thank Steven Clontz for first showing me PreTeXt and for Oscar Levin and all of his helpful replies via email and Zoom. I also like to thank Justin Dyer, Landon Freeman, Noah Broadus, and Logan Allen for their rocket pressure results and Judson Duke, Justin Dyer, and Jason Brignac for their GPS aircraft flight results. I’d like to thank my graduate students Nghia Hyunh and Prisha Chanana for their help on a few chapters. Finally, I’d like to thank the co-authors Lisa and Marine for helping me add some statistical survey data to this textbook and being all around great academic colleagues and friends
