Hectic Week I'm sorry that I haven't posted something up here for a week, but we've all been running to get problems fixed. As I was doing that, Wes was testing the new faceplace for leaks, of which it had plenty. It took us several days to find and fix all of them. At some point, the computer decided to stop working. We still have no idea why, but something failed and it doesn't power up anymore. We put our replacement board in, and everything worked great, in the lab. Once we got all of the leaks worked out, we put the electronics back in, and the computer refused to stay up for more than 10 minutes. We didn't get that figured out until Friday night, when we did a successful depth control run.

Yesterday, we didn't get into the pool, but we did get a lot of work done. We fixed the camera cable (which still needs to be tested); we installed the kill switch; we got the marker dropper working; we fried a servo; we fixed a communications problem between the sub and the buoy; we got the hydrophones mounted to the sub. Today, we need to verify all of that, and do something that looks a little like a mission run.  ¶ kd5bjo @ 10:36
