Doug on vacation July 14-July 28.

present: Jim, Brent, Scott, Addie, Chris S., Wayne
absent: Doug, Cheri 

Instrument Builds

• South Carolina person here August 20-29 to run Mack & Bruce.
•  Brent has found that the front and back puck sensors respond differently  to changes in ambient temp (front 19-26%; back 30% of ambient).  Thus we should recalibrate to the front sensor, a change that should be transparent to the user.
• 11:00am Monday (7-28).  Brent, Addie, Cheri, Wayne meeting to discuss integrating MFB with NEO
• Scott will spearhead effort to get 3 new radio boxes built

MFB

• all pieces from shop should be here by today (except SPE block)
• Jose working on wiring harness
• Must makesure tombstone works with latest Ruby code, then can begin integration.  Addie/Brent will work on this separate from above meeting.

Software

• DWSM software is very close to being ready to test
• TUESDAY--Brent/Scott/Wayne are going to pick a part, and populate rev.1 dwarves to test wether 2nd gen of I2C buses are less 'funky' than gen 1.
• WED.--Gomes/Schramm/Roman/Scholin/Birch meeting to discuss GUI needs next year.  For discussion:  machine state, mission scripting, data parsing.
• Wayne having great difficulty pulling base C code in order to use new compiler.  Much work to reduce errors, but he will continue looking into depth of problem.
• Brent waiting to hear from our potential antenna candidate site; if no word by next Thursday, we move to a yet-to-be-determined plan B.

Other Items

• Of all issues on Brent's 'to-do' list after last deployment, only three remain:
  • why did radio link quality decrease?
  • did RS232 CTS handshake line to radio modem fail?
  • failed email messages are not queued for later retransmission.
