# Launch Day Procedures | ||
|
||
## Launch Tower Team | ||
|
||
## At the Tower Field Setup | ||
1. Mount LTC enclosure to the launch tower. (See "Mounting" section.) | ||
2. Connect LTC to external power. (See "Power Connections" section.) | ||
3. Connect LTC to external data. (See "Data Connections" section.) | ||
4. Power on LTC. (See "Power-On" section.) | ||
|
||
|
||
## Launch Control Team | ||
|
||
1. Wait for notice of launch tower computer power-up from launch tower | ||
team. Open ssh session on LTC. Notify launch tower team of | ||
results. | ||
1. Wait for notice of ignition battery connection from launch tower | ||
team. Verify proper voltage. Notify launch tower team of results. | ||
1. Begin LTC pre-launch test. | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
# Procedure Details | ||
|
||
## Required Tools | ||
|
||
### Tools Needed | ||
* Miniature flathead screwdriver | ||
* Miniature flathead screwdriver | ||
* Large Phillips screwdriver | ||

||
### Mounting On Tower | ||
|
||
## Mounting To Tower | ||
|
||
1. Mount LTC box to the launch tower. | ||
TODO: figure | ||
1. Turn power and arming switches on side bulkhead to *off*. | ||
![LTC Side Bulkhead](diagrams/ltc_side_bulkhead.png) | ||
1. Verify shorting bar is in place on side bulkhead. | ||
1. Check fuse on side bulkhead. | ||
1. Remove bottom plate cover from cable enclosure | ||
TODO: figure | ||
|
||
### Power Connections | ||
Note: Route each powerpole connector one at a time and they will fit | ||
through opening. If you attempt to run all three at once, they will | ||
not fit. | ||
|
||
1. Run Ignite leads through “bottom bulkhead” opening “A” and connect | ||
to 3&4 | ||
1. Run Battery leads though “bottom bulkhead” opening “A” and connect | ||
to 1&2 | ||
1. Run Solar Panel leads through “bottom bulkhead” opening “A” and | ||
connect to 5&6 | ||
![LTC Bottom Bulkhead Connectors](diagrams/ltc_bottom_bulkhead_connectors.png) | ||
1. Verify that the following red LEDs on the Power Int. Board are | ||
illuminated: | ||
* "SOLAR" | ||
* "BATT" | ||
![LTC Power Board Indicator Lights](diagrams/ltc_power_board_indicator_lights.png) | ||
|
||
### Data Connections | ||
1. Connect rocket umbilical to “bottom bulkhead” receptor “B” | ||
1. Connect sensor data cable into “bottom bulkhead” receptor “C” | ||
1. Connect Wireless antenna cable to “bottom bulkhead” receptor “D” | ||
|
||
|
||
### Initialization | ||
1. Power on the LTC via the switch on the side bulkhead. (The LTC's | ||
power switch is the illuminated red switch located above the fuse | ||
holder, *not* the one labeled "OFF/ON".) | ||
|
||
1. Verify that the following power-related indicator lights are | ||
illuminated: | ||
|
||
## Power Connections | ||
|
||
1. Run battery cables though bottom bulkhead opening A, and connect to | ||
upper left Powerpole connectors. | ||
1. Run solar panel cables through bottom bulkhead opening A, and | ||
connect to lower left Powerpole connectors. | ||
1. Run ignition cables through bottom bulkhead opening A, and connect | ||
to upper right Powerpole ports. | ||
1. Verify that the following indicators are illuminated: | ||
* "BATT" LED on the power interface board | ||
* "SOLAR" LED on the power interface board | ||
|
||
NB: Insert power leads through the bottom bulkhead opening one at a | ||
time. If you attempt to insert all three at once, they will not fit. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Data Connections | ||
|
||
1. Connect rocket umbilical cable to connector on lower left of bottom | ||
bulkhead. | ||
1. Connect sensor data cable to connector on upper right of bottom | ||
bulkhead. [FIXME: Is this connector still used? The wires appear | ||
to be disconnected internally.] | ||
1. Connect WiFi antenna cable to connector on lower right of bottom | ||
bulkhead. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Power-On | ||
|
||
1. Power on the LTC via the switch on the side bulkhead. The LTC's | ||
power switch is the illuminated red switch located above the fuse | ||
holder, *not* the one labeled "OFF/ON". | ||
1. Verify that the following indicators are illuminated: | ||
* LTC power switch | ||
* "PWR" LED on Power Int. Board | ||
* "5V" LED on Power Int. Board | ||
* "PWR" LED on Ignition Board | ||
* "PWR" LED on power interface board | ||
* "5V" LED on power interface board | ||
* "PWR" LED on ignition board | ||
* Power LED on BeagleBoard | ||
![LTC Ignition Board Indicator Lights](diagrams/ltc_ignition_board_indicator_lights.png) | ||
![LTC BeagleBoard Indicator Lights](diagrams/ltc_beagleboard_indicator_lights.png) | ||
1. Verify that the following indicator lights are illuminated: | ||
* USB hub power LED on BeagleBoard (green) | ||
1. Notify launch control that launch tower computer is powered on. Wait for verification. | ||
1. Replace bottom plate cover onto cable enclosure. | ||
1. Connect internal ignition battery. Verify with launch control. | ||
* USB hub power LED on BeagleBoard | ||
1. Notify launch control team that LTC has been powered on. Wait for | ||
launch control team to confirm a remote connection to the LTC. | ||
1. Replace bottom bulkhead cover. | ||
1. Connect internal ignition battery. Notify launch control team of | ||
connection. | ||
|
||
|
||
## LTC Login | ||
|
||
1. Confirm LTC has been powered on. | ||
1. Ping the LTC's WiFi interface to determine availability. | ||
1. Open ssh session on LTC. Login as "root". | ||
1. Start the Phidget web service: | ||
# /phidgetwebservice/phidgetwebservice21 -v | ||
1. Open another ssh session on LTC. Login as "root". | ||
* A second session is necessary because the Phidget web service's | ||
"verbose" mode ties up the first session. | ||
6. Start launch tower computer software: | ||
* TODO: More details. | ||
|
||
## At Launch Control Setup Support | ||
|
||
1. Wait for notice of launch tower computer powerup. Connect to it and verify with launch tower team. | ||
1. Wait for notice of internal ignition battery connection. Verify proper voltage. Confirm with launch tower team. | ||
1. Begin launch tower computer pre-launch testing. | ||
|
||
## Computer Setup | ||
# Reference | ||
|
||
### Login | ||
1. Open an SSH session | ||
* IP Address (wireless): 10.0.0.13 | ||
* IP Address (wired): 10.0.0.14 | ||

### Start Up | ||
![Bottom Bulkhead](diagrams/ltc/bottom_bulkhead.png) | ||
|
||
1. Power up the BeagleBoard | ||
2. Begin pinging the IP address of the BeagleBoard to determine when | ||
up. (Currently: 10.0.0.13) | ||
3. Connect via SSH to BeagleBoard | ||
4. Login as root user | ||
* Username: root | ||
* Password: psaslv1b | ||
5. Start the Phidget web service (verbose) | ||
* Because verbose flag any additional root control will require a | ||
separate SSH connection | ||
* /phidgetwebservice/phidgetwebservice21 -v | ||
6. Start launch tower computer software | ||
