Changelog

1.3.3 - August 27, 2024

✨ Improved

Log specMech commands and replies to disk.
Set specMech time periodically.

⚙️ Engineering

Format code using ruff and update workflows.

1.3.2 - May 29, 2024

✨ Improved

Bump archon to 0.13.5.

1.3.1 - February 27, 2024

✨ Improved

Bump archon to 0.13.4.

🔧 Fixed

Fix temperature alerts not being raised if the controller was not available.

1.3.0 - December 22, 2023

✨ Improved

Bump archon to 0.13.2.

1.3.0b2 - December 17, 2023

🔧 Fixed

#14 Support archon 0.13.x.

1.3.0b1 - December 15, 2023

⚙️ Engineering

#12 Deprecate 3.9, support 3.12. Lint using ruff. Update workflows.
#13 Updates to FFS and lamps headers.

🔧 Fixed

Increase timeout for specMech pneumatic issues.

1.2.1 - July 26, 2023

✨ Improved

Check if shutter times out while opening/closing. If the shutter fails closing, the exposure is read anyway.
Check if specMech is responding on each `mech`` actor command.

1.2.0 - April 26, 2023

✨ Improved

Use BOSS_extra_purge_erase_v8.acf which mimics the voltages used at APO for b2 (e2v). This seems to solve the "puddles" seen around the serial register and may improve the settle time after a power cycle.

1.1.0 - April 13, 2023

🚀 New

#2 Add alerts for LN2 and CCD temperature and actor heartbeat.

✨ Improved

Use new ACF file with e-purge, erase, and improvements to horizontal transfer.
Change flushing to not binned.
Upgraded to use sdss-archon>=0.9.0.
The collecting of actor information (lamps, specMech, etc.) now happens during the exposure instead of after readout completes.
Create checksum files using sha1sum.

🏷️ Change

Set b2 temperature to -98 degC.

1.0.0 - October 19, 2022

🚀 New

First stable version tested at LCO.
Added MechController.pneumatic_status() method.

✨ Improved

mech move --home has been renamed to --center.
Moving all three collimator motors at once to an absolute position is no longer allowed.
Additional safety checks before sending any move command to the collimator motors.
SpecMechReply.sentence has been removed since different replies for the same command can have difference sentences. The sentence is stored as the first value in the reply on each SpecMechReply.data (the S[0-9] prefix is removed).
Added multiple new header keywords (LCO TCC, specMech, etc.)

🏷️ Changed

Rename fan_volts -> power_supply_volts.

🔧 Fixed

Fixed several bugs and confirmed that yao hartmann works as expected.

0.1.0 - June 11, 2022

🚀 New

Initial version of yao.
#1 Initial implementation of the specMech controller based on specActor.
