Hello!! It's Joseph

under Ubuntu, you can use Gtkterm  Serial port is 38400,8N1  flow control: none the last byte is the LSB of sum of all the previous 6 bytes eg,  FC(hex) + 00(hex) + 91(hex) +  03(hex) + A3(hex) + B3(hex) = 2E6(hex), so the LSB of 2E6(hex) is E6 (hex) Read PAN ID:                  FC 00 91 03 A3 B3 E6 Read Short Address:      FC 00 91 04 C4 D4 29 Read MAC Address:       FC 00 91 A8 B8 F5 Read the type of node:   FC 00 91 0B CB EB 4E   return: 43 6F 6F 72 64 69 means coordinator   return: 52 6F 75 74 65 72 means router Read the wireless channel no: FC 00 91 0D 34 2B F9

It's well known that Chinese has the 12 Shenxiao ( 生肖 ), whereas for the solar activity is around 11 to 12 years. This year is near the max solar activity( now is year of the Dragon), and cause massive eruptions called CME ( coronal mass eruptions ). When these erupted material reach the Earth, this will cause the electro-magnetic storm.  How will this affect our daily lives?  Are chinese aware of such solar activities, and therefore set the chinese zodiac as 12 years?

This experimental vehicle has been quietly in space for a year. USAF has 2 of these unmanned re-launchable spacecraft, and this one is second one. The craft launched aboard an Atlas 5 rocket. This week marked the one-year anniversary of the spacecraft orbiting the planet performing a still secret mission. So far, the USAF has only said that the craft is performing top-secret experiments. We have no indication of when the X-37B might return to earth. X-37B number one spent 224 days orbiting the planet before landing on December 3, 2010 at Vandenberg Air Force Base. Amateur astronomers have noted that the second X-37B is in an orbit that is very similar to US spy satellites. Some think the USAF may be using the spacecraft to keep certain countries under close scrutiny.
