Turns out the fuse connected to the battery blew. Couldn't find a spare. With the help of Ben and Josh, we were able to manually shut it. Just in time too, it's starting to get a little wet up here. Thank you! ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sun Jul 20 22:56:54 GMT 2014 The Newport Universal motion controller/driver (labeled COM9) on the Comp rack has been making some funny noises today. I'm not quite sure they're normal but wanted to log it just in case. Sounds kinda like a whirring noise, going up in tone, then down. After a while it stops, and then comes back. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sun Jul 20 23:31:19 GMT 2014 In a bit of a wet fog currently. ___end___
