We were running into issues with the tightness of our tripod dowels, so we installed fasteners to create a better hold, especially on the center leg. This required a return to the wood shop today, Friday after Finals, where I expanded the hole to fit a metal fastener, acquired at Hardwick's. Now the legs are tight and tip top.
I will also be reshooting the mirror with the lights on, as we have successfully installed the 60 NeoPixel strip from Adafruit. It took a little while after our presentation, but after we figured out the direction of input, which was incorrect out of the box (CHECK THE ARROWS OF DATA FLOW), we were up and fully powered. At which time our USB ports became a problem. We kept getting a message of "avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00" which we could not find the solution online, so we swapped our Arduino UNO for an Arduino MEGA and everything worked finally.
