-2) UMN test setup (Tanner) +Vuk: no news yet, trying to connect with Bryce. Will try to keep everyone informed via email. 
-Tanner: continuing to set up the prototype at UMN, connected the digitizer, the bailer, and a computer to a local network switch. Can control them, see the data from the seismometer etc. At the moment don't have the GPS hooked up, since the lab is in the basement. Will move to a different lab with a window, with the hope that we can get the GPS signal and get the whole system to work.+
