Kcor heater.

KCOR modulator heater didn't start this morning.  For some reason the goal zero battery turned of its output so the t rigger to turn on the heater could not go out.

Got on sky after getting the modulator to temperature.

UCOMP COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jun 05 00:03:39 GMT 2026
ucomp realtime software

More UCoMP work today:
- Verified filter wheel (needed to install python to connect)
- verified new script locations.

Having some camera issues. RCAM (camera 0) seems to lose serial control from time to time requiring power cycling to reconnect.   This happens in labview and the camera software (XCAP).  I don't think I have seen this before; more troubleshooting to come.

UCoMP worked paused for the day to recharge batteries.  Hopefully this is the last time we need to do this before switching over the new new array.

GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jun 05 02:02:36 GMT 2026
EPC finished all the solar panel wiring.  But testing showed some communication issues between the 3 inverters.   It seems like a few config changes are needed either in the inverter software or dip switches.   But the techs ran out of time before their flights so troubleshooting did not complete.

Further the PSPT area panel B is not wired into the building.  This was disconnected during generator ops and needs to be caught next week.

EPC will be back Tuesday to continue the power work work.
