ALP Support Hardware Testing

Today we tested a router to be used to support the upcoming ALP flight. As of now we have communication between the flight computer and the control interface computer. Last week we were able to tweak and polish up the software that allows the flight computer to communicate with the main imaging camera. Sample images were taken through the ALP network. An array of web cams will be added soon to the system allowing for real time monitoring of proximity and hazard avoidance.
Range testing will soon follow as we test an array of antenna configurations.
