By the way, I grabbed some solder-cup db9's instead of those annoying pin-crimp ones. I am optimistic about redoing all audio on Tuesday. Would be good to have a soft guy (Mikolaj/Nils) to test/advise.<br><br>Christie I'll check for your part tomorrow.<div>

We also got the antenna balun put together today, and it's connected up to the cable to run it down to the payload. We need a connector to hook it up to the radio that Albert will be seeing if he can pick up at HSC tomorrow. If they don't have it, we can order it from Jameco and I can pick it up on Tuesday.<div>
<br></div><div>Since we need to break into the audio cable, we'll be remaking the major jank of a connector we made for it to connect up to the RS232. We need male pins for that, which are on our shopping list. I've got the pinout from the GPS identified and everything ready to go to connect up with that to the sparkfun board then feed into the OpenTracker. I have not done these connections yet, since I just realized I need a connector for my board.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We still need to figure out if the PTT needs to be asserted for the VOX to work. We were going to try an experiment where we set it up and clip the PTT lead to see if that's the reason Mikolaj's experiment with Nils' application didn't work. Albert was planning on tying that to +5V, so it's continuously asserted. I wanted to have this verified to make sure it needs to remain asserted and won't cause us to blast stuff out continuously.</div>
</blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I think the answer is no - Nils had this working with his existing cable, which doesn't connect the PTT pins. But I'll defer to him to explain details, since I failed to get it to work :(</div>

<div><br></div><div>I expect to be working on this Tuesday. One disadvantage of launching on Saturday is we don't have that extra day to pull everything together like we did last launch, so I'll be by Friday night to help pick up pieces. Fridays don't seem to be for sleeping for me anyway.</div>

You have me down for contacting reporters... plural? I am not sure who else you'd like to get an email, but I contacted the Danish guy. Who else needs a bulletin? Would you like a press release or something? I'm thinking that's something we might want to recruit Ariel or Sam to do. <div>

<div>The todo list for this week:</div><div><br></div>1. audio mixing - Albert<div>2. APRS softmodem - Nils</div><div>3. CHDK on SD1100 - Blake</div><div>4. A700 IR setup - Blake</div><div>5. Antenna balun & connection - Albert & Christie</div>
<div>6. Foam carving - Christopher</div><div>7. Parachute/rigging - we'll wing it</div><div>8. Lens heating - Albert & Christopher</div><div>9. Active heating - Albert & Christopher</div><div>10. Mylar bagging - Albert & Christopher</div>
<div>11. Topcap - Christopher</div><div>12. Package tracker - Christie</div><div>13. More balloons - Mikolaj</div><div>14. Payload+baseplate setup/attachment - Christopher</div><div>15. Luggage scale - Mikolaj</div><div>
16. Graph page picture for A700 fisheye - Blake</div>
<div>17. Contact reporters - Christie</div><div>18. Filming contacts - Christopher</div><div>19. Stickers! - ??</div><div><br></div><div>I'm politely concerned about just how many items have Albert and Christopher's names against them - whilst I have all faith in you, this isn't worth work or domestic stresses :) Looking at the list above, it seems that if we run out of time for something, the active heating is perhaps the least critical to not have working in time?</div>
<div><br>At any rate, please call out if there's something with your name on it that you may have trouble finishing, and hopefully someone else can step up to help. We don't have a lot of evenings left :)</div><div>
