Wiring of MIKE has started



We have hung the carriage on MIKE and the printed circuit boards are 
screwed down.  This allows us to start wiring MIKE.

The way I am doing it is to always have two systems being put 
together.  One looks at MICHAEL to wire  and assemble MIKE.  OK, we have 
wiring diagrams and the wiring is color coded, but it is still nice to have 
a sample.

Once MIKE is a little further along I will be able to ship MICHAEL out the 
door.  First I will get it out on the porch and look at some stars.  About 
a week of work until I can do that.

We are getting better and better at hanging the moving parts on the 
telescope.  This time we only had to take it apart twice because something 
was backwards.

I am getting the mechanics a little better on each one.
