odd and ends

I added several "easy" things today:

  • rotate dome manually
  • raise and lower windscreen manually(but not really: it either tracks automatically or is down. I haven't figured out a way to track the telescope in azimuth easily.)
  • raise and lower central lift (seen below)




I've been frustrating about the two conventional elevators: one is for freight and one is for people. Implementing the buttons and controls for the elevator algorithm would be a pain. Maybe I'll just chicken out and hang "out of order" signs on them.
