safe startup

• make sure copley is 'phased' and that the zero point is set

• power the AK, wait for the high pitch 'beep beep'
  • if a there is a low humm, then likely the commutation failed. The AK will retry. Hand adjust the back drive screw between attempts to help.

• ideally be running the matlab plotter on CB's machine

• Test that the app will run (-n 0 = do zero passes)
  • ./run_lifefix.py -i sw8 -c 0 -T 100 -F 1 -E 1 -n 0 -S
  • ideally there will be no error messages and some matlab graphic output will appear
  • if the swifi isn't working an error message will be output and the process stopped.

• Run the gentle cycle (-F 1) for 1 pass (-n 1) with 100N of AK output (-T 100):
  • ./run_lifefix.py -i sw8 -c 0 -T 100 -F 1 -E 1 -n 1 -S

• Run the full cycle (-F 0) for 1 pass (-n 1) with 100N of AK output (-T 100):
  • ./run_lifefix.py -i sw8 -c 0 -T 100 -F 0 -E 1 -n 1 -S

• Run the full cycle (-F 0) for 1 pass (-n 1) with 2000N full thrust (-T 2000):
  • ./run_lifefix.py -i sw8 -c 0 -T 100 -F 0 -E 1 -n 1 -S

issues

• sometimes the SWIFI outputs garbage upon power up
