Perseverance takes a look around
1. Santa Cruz Weather Station
Mast sensors still broken
2. EPICS
Established unit test methodology Started digital output
3. Brini Tracker II
Buttons still work after six weeks week of runtime. GPS display update seems to be intermittent as it is not working at this moment.
4. WKT to SVG converter
basically libgeos to libplot
WKT may be well known but perhaps not consistently implemented as libgeos could only parse a few of the "*.wkt" files laying around.
Works well enough for my purposes.
5. Perseverance mapping
Started planning on mapping Perseverance EDL Mars surface images from the JPL EDL video on to a Mars surface map. Looks like GRASS GIS is the way to go, which is great because I am already somewhat familiar with it - although it sure has gotten fancier in the years since I looked at it last.
