Hi, there were numerous changes to RTS2 HEAD in last week or so. The main are outlined below: - HARD OFF is state mask, meaning observatory can have HARD OFF night etc.. state. This cleaned code which deals with resetting various counters before night stars (dome opening allowed during a night,..) - messages can have arguments,.. messages are used to distribute information. Currently INFO_OBSERVATION_START,_SLEW,_END.. are allowed, with string having $x for arguments (e.g. "observation of target #$1 started" - various tables were changed to support distributed scheduling I am about to finish PhD. (last lines of distributed scheduling code was written today, and I am just testing and debugging) and I already started to look for a job. There are reasonable chances I will get one in Prague, but if you happen to know about something, I will be happy to learn about possibilities. As the majority of jobs I am considering are not RTS2 related, it is expected my involvement in RTS2 will drop significantly in next weeks. I will be happy to provide help and consultations if needed and I will get paid for them - but I expect the community will be able to help on most cases. Also my experiences show that I am no longer "the only one who knows RTS2" and others can install and understand it. Petr |
