We started today working on de-soldering the copper tape flap and de-solder the stub from the cakepan.
We then had to cut the coil to the proper length and strip the wire so that we could solder the wire to itself. Above is the stub properly soldered to the detector. Until lunch we continued to research the function of the 21 cm detector.
Since we are still waiting for parts to finish the detector we began to work on programing a video camera to watch the telescope to make sure no one damages it. We were able to find a code that takes a photo on a given interval of time. Below is a line of code that captures a single image.
Next week we hope to program this to connect to arduino to take pictures when there is motion around the telescope. Also, we want to hook up the camera to post pictures to a website so that anyone can access these pictures.
