3:55 - 8:45pm (estimate but last email at 7.pm)
- LF stopped after 11014 passes - review physical status of LF, appears okay.
- the most direct observation of the cause of stop is that cycle timer counter stopped after 500 tics. Could be that SWIFI data wasn't received yet, or that the timer actually stopped!
- belt is slipping and which causes the zero to drift - which causes the encoder trigger point to be missed.
