Problems of 10/12/2011

Finally our list is getting smaller and smaller. Some of the items have to be performed on site like dome driver fixing. Another thing to add to the list is much testing. This weekend hopefully should be able to get first light.

Software
  • AstroHaven dome driver needs update to stop spamming error messages and to add feedback from new dome control hardware
  • Add user friendly GUI to control primitive features of the system - Starting
Hardware
  • Buy cabling management for inside of dome
  • Repair crack on AstroHaven Dome
  • Still need to spec out computer capable of extreme temperatures. Computer still needs to have PCI slots and serial ports. Don't want to use USB<->Serial
  • Add lens heater on LX200GPS to reduce night dew.
Long Term
  • Possibly add Android app interface/add
  • Draw a plan for UPS during extreme temps
