Action Items/Things Done

1. Plugged in CMOS

2. Connected CMOS to Data Computer via Long Blue Data Cable

   1. THIS DIDN'T WORK

3. Refreshed SharpCap, didn't work

4. Brought CMOS downstairs and connected directly to Data Computer, this DID work

5. Reconnected CMOS through Long Blue Data Cable, this DIDN'T WORK

6. Brought laptop hub up to Dome, used this to connect CMOS to Long Blue Data Cable line from Control Room, this didn't work

   1. USB-B to USB-A (CMOS to Hub)

   2. USB-C to USB-A (Hub to Long Blue Data Cable)

7. Plugged Long Blue Data Cable into Jackson's Mac. This worked ... but required many plug-ins and refreshes

Data Cable seems fine.

1. We opened the mirror doors per SOP (At zenith)

2. Jackson checked mirror doors, they dain't open correctly.

   1. The South Mirror Door was only half-opened.

   2. Other doors opened fully

3. Tried to close and then reopen

   1. This is widely regarded as a bad move

   2. SO the doors nested improperly.

   3. West and East were on top of South

   4. So North would open, and South would be stuck

   5. Mirror doors would be like, "Hey, something's wrong." And then nothing would happen

   6. HAMMER TIME

      1. Jackson, Matt, and Onkar fixed it.

      2. Removed pins from East and West

      3. Unplugged East, West, and South

      4. Fastened East and West open.

      5. Opened North and South with switchermabob

      6. Verified that North and South opened and closed. Left them in open

      7. Plugged in South.

      8. Manually closed East and West

      9. Closed North and South with switchermabob

      10. Plugged in East and West

      11. Verified it all worked at Zenith

      12. Over

   7. Roy helped by watching

   8. The end

Notes
