Yesterday, Adam (an engineer in the lab downstairs) and I managed to complete my MkI mezzanine board, and it seems to be working splendidly. I've only got one channel (of seven) running because the chips we're using are really tiny, and we accidentally destroyed one while setting up the first channel. Given that they are seven bucks a pop, we decided to hold off and just have a circuit board printed, rather than breadboard it. I'm at home now, but I'll snap an image of it tomorrow.
Apart from that, I'm off to VERITAS Tuesday of next week, to test out a reflectometer and maybe do take some alignment data for the telescopes. It'll be my first time working there at night, I'll learn how to operate the telescopes, at least a bit.
