All together it sounds like things are o.k.

As far as the launcher goes, I'm pretty sure that the issue with the probes not being recognized
is due to something other than the actual board. I'm feeling better about our new board now
and I think we should order like 15 populated boards ready to go.

Placing the iridium modem in a new location might have helped the transmission issues you and patrick have seen
in the past but swapping the cable might have helped too if the connection was truly intermittent.

I can see you profiles coming in and they look good.

Keep an eye on the new GPS.....

I am pushing pin 6 down a little, unless it never fully extended after the launch, which has happened. So far, it's been working alright. I am worried it's going to give up the ghost, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. 

Another issue in the beginning was tube 2 not recognizing probes. I was able to transfer the 2 or 3 that didn't work and they worked in other tubes. I checked it and there was no obvious wire problems or puck issues. I did clean the puck pins a bit, but I know that likely did nothing. After I fiddled with it, it's been working fine. I suspect a wire issue either in the puck wire or inside with connection to the board. 

Iridium seems to be working. I would guess my transmissions have been coming through. I haven't noticed a bottleneck, but there may have been some slight delays between when I checked it. Email connections have been going smoothly. Slow, but that's par for the course. 

The weather station seems to be doing fine, I've not seen anything other than success on the window and it's creating a new file every time. 

Other than that, a few issues with software, but just normal weird glitches that work fine after restarting that part of Amverseas or amverseas itself.

Are you pushing pin 6 down a little when you load the launcher so that it can retract all of the way no launch?
Are the transmissions working fine? Any issues with Iridium?
How is the weather station?

I wasn't until today. Friday was hectic and yesterday I just didn't. 

So far everything is good. Tube 6's motor or fet is definitely going, but for the most part, it's been manageable. I can still control the pin enough and can still manually lift it if it's too far down. 

I have had one or two bad probes/profiles. two of them at once one time, but otherwise it has been good. 

Other than that, everything seems to be working well enough. 

Best regards,
Zach
