Day 1: 12/06/22:

  • Transferred the DIMSUM code to my external hard drive. Any Mac Mini that was setup according to the Mac Mini Setup in this wiki will be able to use it. In the device open the terminal and run the command: 
    cd /Volumes/Ali Media/stubbs_code . After this, you can execute the desired script. The images will be saved in the directory stubbs_code which is in the external disk.
  • Failed to mount the camera. The clamp was not strong enough to hold the camera on its own.

Day 2: 12/07/22:

  • Mounted the camera using two clamps and an L rail. Clamped the L rail to the orange rail shown in DIMSUM presentation. The camera is stable in the vertical direction, but it is moves very easily in azimuthal direction. Currently this helps adjust the camera angle but we need a solution for the long term. The video clip shows that the camera is not affected by the rotation of the dome.
  • Mounted the pegboard to the railing and camera is in the same plane with the pegboard. It can see everything. We may need further stabilization of the pegboard on the other direction to avoid the tilt. The camera can see the entire pegboard without any barriers. It is a decent height above the ground. Attached below are the pegboard, the tilt, and how the camera sees it.


Stubbs comments- 

This looks like great progress, bravo. We need to be sure the cables and other elements are not trip hazards, and so I suggest running them under the grating floor somebow. Also the camera isn't pointed quite in the direction I was expecting but I'm sure you guys have that figured out. Finally, we need to be sure we aren't obstructing the new in-dome illumination system that Patrick and Parker are installing. 
Happy to arrange a time to talk over zoom tomorrow if you like.
