PAN016 was a team of middle school students. Before covid put everything on hold we completed the build and the unit was able to respond to some commands and capture some test images. There are a few sw bugs to resolve, as well as installing the weather proofing and the weather station. Otherwise the build is complete.
The Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland, CA is very interested in taking over the project. They have dedicated teams of high school kids focusing variously on robotics, astronomy, and engineering.
If needed, would they be able to get help from you with sw debug?
I will pass on all the knowledge I have on the hardware and software, but they may need some help.
best regards, Richard Shankman
