During the visit of Jens Klougart to the NOT earlier this year he passed on details on how the NOTCam motor controller card software worked. Subsequently, we modified the code to automatically detects when it passes (or not) the init-switch, to detect possible problems.
A test was done with the new code while the instrument was open, but it failed. The reason for that is now believed to be understood and next time NOTCam is opened a revised code will be tested.
