ToDo

Notes

*Please Retake LED Calibrations and delete the previous one.

*When trying to redo LED Calibrations during GS, we ran into the following error when trying to upload the Arudino script: “avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device “\\. \COM2”: Access is denied.” Unsure if the earlier shifts were experiencing a similar issue, but we tried a few possible solutions such as restarting the IDE and checking that the serial monitor tabs weren't open (from Arudino forums) with no success. Therefore LED calibrations could not be redone.

*Sporadic cloud coverage throughout GS. Some captures have clouds covering target in the middle of a capture.

*Running low on disk space at around 0430
