Plugged in in the lab but the picam could not boot all the way. The microSD card is probably busted from flickering power at the end of December. Joe put in a new microSD card and loaded the fwb code (r=1.8, b=1.8). We had some trouble getting the RTC recognized by the picam, but in the end it worked with a brand-new RTC and brand-new coin cell battery. Ran overnight in the lab and it seems fine. |

Mayberry |
Removed |
Lab none |
Removed from MB and brought back to the lab for repair. It wouldn't turn on, probably because of all the repeated power cycling. I think it ended up being a bad/corrupted microSD card. I set up the camera with a fresh microSD card. |

Installed at MB on the wooden post next to the Stardot camera to continue the camera intercomparison. Joe has updated the firmware so the camera skips nighttime photos and takes a concurrent photo with fixed white balance (and maybe other improvements?) |
