[21:11:57] NASSP Logging has been started by thewonderidiot [21:12:01] that's why the logs stopped [21:18:27] oops [21:21:12] I am having a hell of a time with the secondary glycol loop [21:21:26] I am experimenting with larger valves to give its normal max flow [21:22:50] Ehh oops [21:23:08] Maybe I'll see if I can make logs auto start somehow. Not sure I can though. [21:24:12] hello [21:24:33] Hello! [21:24:43] I like the username :) [21:24:58] thank you [21:26:15] hey, we just started up logging again [21:27:27] thewonderidiot: "Welcome to the channel. Everything you say will be logged. Nothing to worry about." :P [21:27:35] hahahaha [21:27:47] no he was in here asking about why the logs stopped earlier [21:28:27] Ah. I missed that. [21:28:46] just came on to report the logging was back but you beat me to it [21:28:57] yeah, sorry about that [21:29:47] So people actually read them now eh? Nice to hear. :) [21:30:30] for sure [21:30:59] lightbulbmoment: welcome to the channel though, feel free to hang out in here with us, you don't need to be a developer or anything :D [21:31:20] I have found the logs very useful in the past to try to understand procedures for Nassp [21:33:30] I have been a fan of Apollo for many years and would like to thank you all for the effort you are all putting in to this. [21:35:19] Certainly appreciated! To say we probably have just as much fun working on it. :) [21:40:10] yes definitely, this whole project is a ton of fun [21:40:39] but I'm glad you enjoy it! [21:47:51] I dont understand this secondary glycol loop haha I canto seem to get the pressure and flow I want its annoying [22:06:57] booo [22:07:37] I think its because the loop has so little mass [22:18:56] evening [22:21:19] hey [22:26:10] Welcome back [22:27:48] I am trying to get a full flow secondary loop but I am not having much luck [22:37:29] in the LM? [22:38:25] Yeah [22:38:51] The glycol loops as they are in the repo dont approach the normal mass flow rates [22:38:57] Due to small valves [22:38:59] right [22:39:22] and that was so we dont get the nan's? [22:42:13] Goodnight all [22:43:20] Yeah [22:44:16] I noticed that the CO2 levels now stay in the green band if O saw correctly in my last test [22:47:32] Yeah i worked that out [22:47:42] nice [22:47:47] Should stay around 3 I think in egress [22:47:59] Increased flows from larger valves did that [22:48:29] also, were you going to get the quad's hooked up to the temp display? [22:48:49] I dont know how to scale them [22:49:21] I think the SCERA scales them and therefore that falls to Niklas' capable coding [22:49:32] ah I see [22:49:34] I didnt want to put a direct conversion because of that [22:49:43] But I did put the roots for quad heaters in [22:49:54] I dont know how the coding for it is though I did some [22:50:00] Then the nans came around [23:02:06] I think I am dialing this in [23:20:47] here's hoping [23:32:58] Ok I have stable pump off now I need to slowly increase flow [23:33:01] I have it up to 200 [23:33:05] I need 300 lb/hr [23:34:42] 248 [23:35:02] 52 to go [23:35:33] Yeah [23:35:44] Surprisingly my valves arent very large [23:35:50] They just needed balance [23:42:41] I am making very small tweaks for this like 0.0001 at a time haha [23:42:56] Up to 260 [23:52:01] I am fighting three simultaneous constraints as I do this [23:52:42] Flow being zero when the pump is off/300 when the pump is on, the pump pressure 21psi and the accumulator pressure above 6 (6.7 ideal) [00:01:00] quite the challenge [00:02:23] Yeah and the sec loop is the simple one [00:02:29] I have a question on battery charging... If you charge the batteries to there maximum charge, but forget to actually stop battery charging, will resources continue to be consumed? Like the hydrogen in the fuel cells [00:02:40] I need to adapt this to the primary loop once I know this wont cause nans [00:02:49] Let me look at the code [00:03:11] In real life yes there will always be parasitic drain and therefore the charger would continue to trickle charge [00:03:19] draw not drain* [00:04:21] so it was important to terminate battery charge, or else I guess you were wasting resources [00:05:43] Yeah looks like it would, slowly, but it would [00:05:55] maybe not simulated in NASSP though [00:06:33] but the main reason is I don't want to go through my hydrogen to fast as Apollo 12 is a 240 h mission [00:07:08] and as it stands our H2 tanks will only survive ~230 hours [00:07:32] which is a bug of course as it should make it to like 270 I believe [00:07:39] I wonder why it drains it so fast [00:07:58] There was a post on that on the forums but I can't seem to find it [00:08:03] I dont think the charging will have a huge impact on the H2 draw [00:08:09] right [00:08:54] Id be curious to put a debug line on the H2 tanks outflow and see the consumption and compare to nominal comsumption [00:09:06] Silly question though, are they the correct size? [00:09:47] I think so, the guy in the post I was talking about said they were the correct size but it was the consumption rate that was off [00:10:30] Let em take a quick look [00:10:46] I need to add a function to calculate H2 in my lovely spreadsheet/cheatsheet [00:10:47] He actually came up with some new numbers for the consumption rate that I had tried before and worked quite well... But experimental of course and I don't have them on my current mission [00:13:37] Also the bulk modulus for H2 is I believe incorrect but changing it messes with initialization pretty bad [00:16:28] Uhh these H2 numbers are weird [00:16:40] specific heat is off, vapor pressure is wrong [00:18:35] hmm interesting [00:18:56] I wonder what temperature they use for the tank temp [00:23:47] should be -420F [00:25:01] Did they make H2 tanks bigger on later missions? [00:26:58] hmm not sure [00:27:31] Do you thin setting those to the correct values would make it work? [00:27:35] Maybe [00:27:53] Or screw a up a bunch of other stuff, lol [00:28:02] I am showing that they contained 28 lbs in 6.75 cubic feet storage [00:32:22] I was trying to figure out why my math was wrong and its because I am doing gaseous H2 not liquid H2 haha [00:35:55] The volumes are wrong though at least [00:36:59] Hmm same issue with H2 as O2, the values are for liquid hydrogen [00:37:08] Which is correct [00:37:22] But I need to calculate new energy for it [00:39:38] so like the same issue that the repress package had? [00:41:34] Not really because that was using liquid cryogenic oxygen instead of a gas [00:41:48] H2 in our system is all treated like a liquid I believe (incorrectly but it works)] [00:42:02] I am working some numbers now for those tanks [00:44:35] Ugh these values are for gaseous hydrogen not liquid in H systems it seems [00:44:59] I need to look at the math in there to see if it takes it into account [00:45:05] But I changed the tank volumes [00:45:11] The masses were correct though [00:51:25] Just need the energy [00:53:38] Now I dont know how increasing tank volume and keeping the mass the same will change a mission [00:54:08] But its stable on startup [00:56:01] Half these values in the code are liquid H2 and half are gaseous [00:56:04] Annoying [00:56:38] The way I tested it was take a post-TLI scenario, shut off the computer and time accel 10000x and see how long the H2 would last [00:57:13] of course the computer itself took quite a bit of H2, so it would be a bit less than that [01:01:06] I made the fuel cell manifolds a bit smaller for H2 as well [01:01:11] maybe that will help [01:04:00] O2 tank sizes were too small as well [01:09:11] I wont PR it for a bit though my glycol loop is still not where I want but I can give you the data if you wish [01:09:50] sure [01:10:12] Just dialing in the O2 energy now for 900psi [01:16:23] O2TANK1 <0.5 1.0 -6.0> 133.9387 0.0000001 [01:16:23] CHM 0 145149.5584 0.0 19500000.0 [01:16:24] VALVE IN 1 0.0001 [01:16:24] VALVE OUT 1 0.00001 [01:16:25] VALVE LEAK 0 1.000 # to O2VENT [01:16:25] [01:16:26] O2TANK2 <0.5 1.0 -5.0> 133.9387 0.0000001 [01:16:28] CHM 0 145149.5584 0.0 19500000.0 [01:16:32] VALVE IN 1 0.0001 [01:16:34] VALVE OUT 1 0.00001 [01:16:36] VALVE LEAK 0 1.000 # to O2VENT [01:16:38] [01:16:40] H2TANK1 <0.5 -1.0 -6.0> 191.1387 0.0000001 [01:16:42] CHM 1 12700.58636 0.0 2795000.0 [01:16:44] VALVE IN 1 0.001 [01:16:46] VALVE OUT 1 0.000001 [01:16:48] [01:16:50] H2TANK2 <0.5 -1.0 -5.0> 191.1387 0.0000001 [01:16:52] CHM 1 12700.58636 0.0 2795000.0 [01:16:54] VALVE IN 1 0.001 [01:16:56] VALVE OUT 1 0.000001 [01:16:58] [01:17:02] Those are initial values [01:20:52] I'll try those on my next mission [01:21:04] thanks [01:21:20] No promises since the actual mass is the same [01:21:54] I am diving into the fuel cell use now [01:22:02] Gives me a nice LM glycol break [01:22:07] haha [01:22:40] in the mean time, i'm going to simply power-down the CSM during LM ops [01:23:12] that has worked in the past for me to have enough H2 for the nominal timeline [01:27:37] I am gonna grab dinner then look at this fuel cell code [01:38:31] Side note I found, the fuel cells heat the gas before use, and I think ours feeds liquid [01:38:49] And that would actually result in higher consumption [01:38:55] I need to dig some more [02:24:57] time for LOI [03:49:02] Have fun I am going to call it a night [03:50:45] goodnight! [04:55:18] night! [12:57:40] hey [12:57:50] hey Niklas [12:58:09] Just about to do PDI [12:58:20] Apollo 12? [12:58:29] DOI* [12:58:31] yes [12:58:37] that was quick [13:01:37] yeah, I've been going non-stop since launch yesturday mornin [13:01:42] morning* [13:01:45] haha, fun [13:01:52] and you just got a year younger [13:01:56] tell me your secret [13:02:07] hahaha [13:02:49] I decided to make my user names more consistent [13:03:03] you may even see a 2-year younger version [13:03:37] I have good Apollo 15 presettings and some lunar impact burn logic in the LVDC, but I'll probably won't have time to finish that until Monday [13:04:24] nice [13:05:28] btw the Apollo 12 SIVB impavted the moon [13:05:38] impacted* [13:06:51] not enough LOX dump maybe? [13:08:28] on the actual Apollo 12 mission they sent some commands for the APS [13:08:33] I wonder why [13:09:56] almost 300 seconds longer APS burn, just after the programmed one [13:11:06] 270° [13:11:10] 270* [13:12:28] also I had a question about RLS... The RLS altitude that is in the padloads is often way off from the actual altitude of the landing site. Do you know why they did this? [13:13:49] from the Earth and from the Lunar Orbiter photos you can find a good landing spot with latitude and longitude [13:14:05] but it is difficult to determine the landing site radius from far away [13:14:17] so they just didn't know any better, the padloaded RLS is their best estimate [13:14:30] right [13:14:38] that's why a P22 was mandatory before the landing [13:15:04] like Apollo 11 is -1.66 is the padloads, and -1.08 actual [13:15:23] yep [13:15:32] I'm trying to find the best way to actually update the RLS with RTCC MFD [13:15:57] because if I do P22 I dont want to actually use that new RLS as it is, right? [13:16:36] like I could do P22, check what altitude it gives, and then make a new RLS with the same coordinates as the padload, but with the new altitude [13:17:54] does the RTCC MFD have any RLS uplink capability? [13:17:58] yes [13:18:13] and you should also be able to change the altitude [13:18:15] Landing site update page [13:18:29] not on that page though [13:18:36] but I can on the lunar insertion page [13:19:06] ah, I wanted to move that to the config page at some point [13:19:30] but it would probably make sense to be able to change it on the landing site update page as well [13:19:59] so I guess I go to the lunar insertion page, plus in the new altitude, go back to the Landing Site Update page and then it should have the new altitude [13:20:08] plug in* [13:20:23] yeah [13:20:28] uplink might also be an issue [13:21:04] uplink seems to work from that page [13:21:20] hmm, the uplink doesn't even use that altitude [13:21:28] it gets the mean radius of the body [13:21:33] ah no [13:21:39] and adds the LS altitude to it [13:21:51] so it should work then? [13:22:10] yeah, but you have to select any vessel as the target on that page [13:22:33] just so that it knows the reference body for the mean radius [13:22:38] that should probably be changed [13:22:50] you only ever uplink a lunar referenced RLS [13:22:53] not Earth or so [13:26:35] I jsut did a quick test in my Apollo 12 scenario, I changed the landing site altitude to -0.5 NM and uplinked the new RLS [13:27:12] EMEM2025 302 [13:27:12] EMEM2026 11345 [13:27:13] EMEM2027 77653 [13:27:14] EMEM2030 67705 [13:27:14] EMEM2031 77765 [13:27:15] EMEM2032 43521 [13:27:42] this is all in the CSM btw [13:28:47] Can those numbers verify that it -0.5 NM? (-0.5 is just an arbitrary number for my test) [13:29:06] Or is there a way I can check with the DSKY? [13:29:32] there is a way with the DSKY [13:30:33] P21 calculates the altitude relative to the landing site [13:30:48] PAMFD always relative to the mean radius [13:30:52] so you can compare the two [13:31:50] or compare P21 with the NAV check pad I guess [13:33:19] Nav Check PAD is relative to mean radius [13:33:53] oh, and V82 compared to PAMFD would also work [13:34:14] the V82 HA and HP are also relative to landing site [13:35:37] PAMFD 58.1, P21: 58.6 [13:35:43] with P21 [13:35:54] looks like -0.5NM to me [13:35:54] so yep :D [13:36:59] crap, now I have no excuses to skip P22s [13:37:48] Comanche055 stores the radius in E4,1722 if you want to check :D [13:38:28] and 1723, it's double precision [13:39:50] I made another test just to confirm it with -2 NM and yep still works [13:43:07] I'm thinking of when we get MCC working with Apollo 11, when it comes time to uplink the RLS, maybe MCC can check the RLS altitude stored in the CMC's memory and use that as a bases for the RLS update. So if the user does a P22, it should automatically be incorporated into the new RLS [13:44:19] oh, but I don't know if in the P22s, they actually incorporated the RLS solutions, I think they just displayed the numbers, and V34 [13:45:00] ground looked at the telemetry during P22 [13:45:09] and then used that for their calculations [13:45:13] right [13:45:29] I'll think of a way to let the MCC do that [13:47:04] What I will do right now, is do the P22, check the altitude and just V34 out and then ill use that altitude for the RLS [13:48:25] yeah, that should be an improvement to the RLS at least [13:56:43] I guess surface markers are still broken in Orbiter 2016 [13:58:36] yeah, but I think there is some new format for the markers which might or might not be broken [14:12:07] hmm CR will be -5.6 NM [14:12:21] still within limits I think [14:20:36] that's quite a bit [14:20:48] way more than it should be [14:21:04] did you change anything else about the landing site? :D [14:23:11] nope, just the altitude [14:25:25] and it gives the same CR, even before the RLS change [14:35:47] https://www.dropbox.com/s/svfcevsfm2f2qr4/Apollo%2012%20-%20Before%20LM%20Activation.scn?dl=0 [14:36:33] weird [14:37:07] LOI should be better than 5.6NM crossrange [14:45:23] for some reason the state of the CM forward hatch isn't saved, I had it open, and now after quick saving, and reloading (from the LM), its closed [14:56:24] about the CR, maybe I shouldn't of skipped MCC-4? [14:56:50] I only did MCC-2 [14:58:50] LOI-1 should compensate it [14:59:11] but now that I think about it, last time you flew Apollo 12 there also was a bigger CR [14:59:20] maybe it's something with that trajectory in general [15:01:07] yep, saving/loading for the forward hatch isn't done [15:02:23] anyway, 1 orbit later its -1.4 so I may delay 1 orbit [15:14:10] Good morning [15:14:46] hey Ryan [15:15:19] I noticed last night I am getting CTD's after merging the latest from the repo into my local [15:15:58] in saturn5.dll [15:15:59] if (IsProcessorFeaturePresent(PF_FASTFAIL_AVAILABLE)) [15:16:00] { [15:16:01] __fastfail(FAST_FAIL_INVALID_ARG); [15:16:01] } [15:16:32] I am trying to load a launch scn, Apollo 9 in this case [15:18:53] The break occurred at that if statement in invalid_parameter.cpp [15:20:17] But now it happens when I try to load anything [15:22:39] Anyone else getting this? [15:24:46] in what file is that? [15:24:56] ah, you said [15:25:24] Apollo 9 scenario works for me [15:25:36] I wonder if it has to do with the loading of the flight sequence program file [15:26:05] It happens on any scn I try [15:26:13] Even older ones [15:26:31] hmm, bad [15:26:50] Yeah [15:27:08] Whatever was in the latest build triggered it for me [15:27:35] latest build? So the auto build from Github? [15:28:03] Well I merged the last 2 I think using git into my local and thats when it started [15:29:04] It was this that started it for me [15:29:04] https://github.com/rcflyinghokie/NASSP/commit/8786a72e67cea35900d42eeedbba49bbdc8b6775 [15:29:15] Maybe that can help [15:32:56] I did not have any issues like that on Apollo 12 [15:33:18] rcflyinghokie, I have a question on the SUIT ISOL valves in the LM, once the crew is connected to LM ECS with the knobs to SUIT FLOW, do the ACTUATOR OVRD's stay up or down? [15:33:19] most of that merge is the flight sequence program files [15:33:43] AlexB_88 the actuators are not coded to do anything yet [15:33:54] but it works for me on all scenarios [15:34:02] does it crash for you right on loading the scenario? [15:34:05] They can and should be when we have a better simulation of suits disconnected from the LM and on the PLSS [15:34:07] launch scenario* [15:34:08] Yes [15:34:11] indy91 yes [15:34:22] And on my ECS testing scn [15:34:30] well, I'll be gone for a few days, so, I hope it resolves itself through rebuilding or so. [15:34:54] cya on Sunday! [15:34:58] I hope so [15:35:04] Have a good weekend! [15:35:19] I am going to try a full clean/build [15:35:30] I thought I did it last night but never hurts to do again [15:36:31] Oh, Alex, I also noticed that the simulation sends high pressure cryogenic H2 and O2 into the fuel cell directly [15:36:43] I am experimenting with warming it to a gas and then feeding [15:36:48] nice [15:36:49] Which is the real behavior [15:37:14] Also, can you tell me if you can remember on your Apollo 12 mission, what the crossrange was before PDI? [15:37:34] Oh its been a while [15:37:35] was it higher then expected? [15:38:03] I want to say it was a little high but not too high? But again dont quote me on that haha. [15:38:10] I know I have a pre PDI scn saved though [15:38:14] haha no worries [15:38:21] Now can I open it... [15:38:23] can I take a look? [15:38:44] Nope I still CTD [15:38:47] Yeah one sec [15:39:22] https://www.dropbox.com/s/4wxfd1e0smk1x0v/Apollo%2012%20-%20PDI.scn?dl=0 [15:39:29] No idea where that is in relation to PDI [15:39:33] But it was labled PDI [15:42:08] thanks [15:44:43] yeah high-ish, -3.3 NM. I have -5.6 NM. As Niklas said, Apollo 12 has a weird trajectory [15:45:00] still low enough for PDI I think [15:45:34] I still am getting ctd's [15:45:53] bummer [15:45:55] @rcflyinghokie when are you getting them? [15:46:02] At startup [15:46:05] let me try a launch scenario [15:46:06] oh [15:46:20] Nik said his worked [15:46:49] Its Saturn5.dll that the exception is thrown but the break is in a different file [15:47:29] But probably still part of the dll [15:47:46] yeah i am still getting ctd's for apollo 11 but not for apollo 8 [15:50:18] Mine is any scn I try it seems [15:50:23] Even after a fresh build [15:53:32] Unhandled exception at 0x19803DF7 (Saturn5.dll) in orbiter.exe: An invalid parameter was passed to a function that considers invalid parameters fatal. occurred [15:56:04] Unless something I did broke it [15:56:09] But I cannot see what [16:01:46] Hmm maybe it is something I broke on my end [16:04:22] Oh durp [16:04:25] Found it [16:05:32] Or so I thought [16:13:53] So I reverted my changes and still get a CTD, yet I do a fresh build of the current repo no problem [16:17:00] Voila [16:17:15] O2FUELCELL3INLET2 [16:17:16] O2TANK2:OUT O2FUELCELL3MANIFOLD:IN ONEWAY # 900 psi [16:17:16] [16:17:22] Was missing the [16:17:27] Copy paste error [16:18:35] Weird exception thrown for that though [16:33:54] haha glad you found it [16:43:48] Do you have to enter the ACCEL BIAS COEFF (540,541,542) Before the 400+6? [16:44:51] oh you just record those addresses before the 400+6 [16:45:03] and compare them before/after [17:01:06] Yeah [17:01:24] Sorry for the delay you got me working these FC flows haha [17:20:48] morning! [17:22:29] Hey there [17:22:34] Hey Mike [17:22:51] rcflyinghokie, haha no worries [17:23:22] I have made a few changes with no ill effects, but if they change hydrogen consumption I havent a clue [17:23:32] also before LM/CSM undocking, it says *ZERO, 404, 405, 406, 407R* [17:23:45] do I have to zero those registers? [17:23:57] Yes [17:24:09] Thats accumulated dV [17:26:27] It basically gives the AGS a fresh register [17:26:40] Similar to a P47 to view dV [17:27:00] But the ags is always keeping an inertial register of dV so there is no avg G [18:02:44] And I just checked the flows for fuel cells, they seem to be calculated correctly [18:16:03] Looks like I need to adjust launch timings in the checklists as well [18:38:52] later! [20:15:07] hmmmm [20:15:37] so it's $255 to have the four Level III drawings I mentioned yesterday scanned [20:15:48] 95 aperture cards for the radar section of PGNCS [20:15:51] 66 cards for ECS [20:15:56] 84 cards for mechanical [20:16:02] and 74 cards for displays and controls [20:35:20] ....worth it [15:31:52] hey [16:03:41] Morning [16:05:35] ill be on later, cya! [17:45:42] morning! [17:47:13] I come bearing gifts [17:47:32] https://ws.onehub.com/folders/ue1gkpdl [17:47:44] rcflyinghokie: ECS is LDW 330-55000 [17:48:22] Oh wow [17:48:24] BLDW files are cover sheets, EOLDW files are engineering change orders, and JLDW files are the drawings themselves [17:48:34] Which LM? [17:48:40] no idea, I just got this email [17:48:43] Haha ok [17:48:47] the cover pages will tell you [17:49:31] also each drawing will have a big section of the filename like "A000003040006" [17:50:03] the first and last digits will be the same for all of the different parts of the same drawing [17:50:30] and the first non-zero numeric digit is the slide number, so this is the third slide of the drawing designated A6 [17:50:48] if you want to try to stitch these together, I've been having really good luck with Microsoft ICE [17:51:01] I will give it a try [17:51:16] Looks like LM 7 and 8 [17:51:24] Which is good its what I have been using [17:51:28] what I've been doing is converted the PDFs to PNGs at 600 DPI, and then stitching those images [17:51:35] excellent! [17:52:25] also if you see any part numbers or drawing numbers on here, especially if they start with LDW, we can probably get schematics for them [17:52:42] Ill dive in and see [19:13:12] hey Alex [19:17:00] hey [19:22:16] I got more Grumman drawings! [19:22:20] https://ws.onehub.com/folders/ue1gkpdl [19:23:37] and I've been working on processing the PGNCS ones [19:29:11] https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qTd5NM-HItyDDcOvRXeULQ1sfCHjdQU4 [19:37:36] great stuff we have a bunch now it seems [19:49:34] yep! [19:49:41] there's more but my wallet needs a break [19:58:31] lol [15:00:24] morning [16:31:20] tell indy91, just realized in the transcripts, the real Apollo 12 PDI pad had a CR of -4.9 NM [16:31:39] .tell indy91, just realized in the transcripts, the real Apollo 12 PDI pad had a CR of -4.9 NM [16:52:17] Good morning [16:55:09] hey Ryan [16:55:44] just did a good landing right beside Surveyor 3 last night [17:18:44] Awesome! [17:19:02] I had chat minimized, I am laptop hunting as mych as my wallet says no [17:19:04] much* [17:21:09] at 1st I thought the latitude error issue was gone because N68 lat/long agreed perfectly with PAMFD lat/long after landing [17:22:32] but then I realized that I had simply not done the LR incorporation procedure correcltly, which I only done V57E, and not the PRO after it [17:23:15] Ah [17:23:45] so only when I actually did hit PRO, (right after P64 for LPD) did the LR data start incorporating, and since my RLS was already updated before PDI, the PGNS and LR altitude were already very similar [17:24:15] if I had not updated my RLS, I probably would of been too low/high at P64 [17:24:58] but anyways, all to say that the very late LR data integration meant that the lateral error did not build [17:25:09] Right [17:25:29] and I landed right on target, when I usually have a 0.04 latitude error north of target (4000 feet north) [17:26:44] Shouldnt error reduce though with LR incorporation? [17:26:56] yeah [17:27:12] Niklas thinks it may be a bug or something [17:27:40] the downrange error is almost nil, its just the crossrange that has an error [17:28:06] the good news though is that it seems to be consistent (0.04) or 4000 feet too far north [17:29:56] I re-flew PDI afterwards, making sure I did the V57 correctly at 40000 ft, I then did a V22 N69E -04000 E (landing target update 4000 feet south) [17:30:08] That got me smack in the middle of the snowman [17:31:45] Oh is this mission from the save I gave you or a fresh launch? [17:32:42] no, I had just used that one to compare what PDI cross-range you had. I am flying the mission myself fresh from launch [17:33:56] Fun fact about that cross-range, you had -3.3 NM and I had -5.6 NM. Got Niklas a bit worried about his LOI targeting... [17:34:23] Real Apollo 12 PDI CR (from the LSJ): -4.9 NM [17:39:42] Haha right in the middle [17:40:09] 12 had a weird latitude I believe for a FR TLC [17:41:08] feels weird even during EPO and TLI, like the initial earth parking orbit is totally not aligned with the moon [17:41:54] noticed a lot of yaw activity during TLI too [17:54:57] I havent played with the new LVDC stuff [17:55:08] I am curious if you put my H2 and O2 tank changes in your scn [17:56:20] not yet [17:56:25] but I can test that next [17:56:35] maybe with a fresh launch scenario [17:56:49] Yeah I want to know how it pans out on a full mission, if it improves anything [17:57:20] I messed with adding heaters to the fuel cells but consumption did not change [17:57:53] So they still run on "liquids" [17:58:34] right [17:59:37] The things I changed are really just increased volume and a bit more mass in the tanks [18:00:37] Also regulated pressure going into the fuel cells, but I dont know if that will change consumption [18:01:15] I am trying to help without diving too deep into CSM ECS [18:32:20] just doing one more test with N69 and I will test the ECS changes [18:47:14] I have only tested it into orbit [18:47:42] The only odd thing I saw is right when you start, the number 1 tanks of h2 and o2 pressures climb [18:47:55] Then they settle back down before hitting the C/W limit [18:47:59] Its really weird [01:38:46] .tell rcflyinghokie, good news! The O2/H2 numbers you provided seem to add about 30 hours of H2 endurance [15:52:24] hey Ryan [15:52:46] I tried the cryo numbers you came up with, it adds 30 hours! [15:53:04] Really? [15:53:22] haha I beat Gunter [15:53:35] I do that a lot it seems when I am the next one one after Nik [15:53:55] 30 hours though wow [15:54:23] The numbers I calculated are just the numbers from the AOH [15:54:33] The full masses were about the same [15:54:40] But the volumes of the tanks were way wrong [15:54:57] right [15:55:22] The extra day is enough for Apollo 13 and before, right? [15:56:57] My test was launch into orbit, do the insertion checklist. Pull the CMC breakers, time accel 10000x. 1st test with old numbers: H2 runs out at 235 hours. 2nd test with new numbers: H2 runs out at 265 hours [15:57:13] yes [15:58:55] Hmm wonder if the same would be true with the CMC on [15:59:22] But that is very promising [15:59:24] yeah, well both my tests were with the same config (CMC off) [15:59:52] Now when you say run out, do you mean they empty totally, or you get a light? [16:00:57] he cryo light, and then the instruments do the weird flashy thing when power runs out [16:01:24] Ah yeah [16:01:39] there may be a bit left still at that point [16:01:41] Well that seems very promising for sure [16:01:48] but like 5% at most [16:02:43] Awesome I did not expect that kind of result just looking at the numbers [16:02:49] CMC pulls 3 amps according to the systems checklist [16:03:26] so that may help the H2 if I had those off [16:04:12] but on the other side of the coin, I did not do any O2/H2 purging [16:05:04] Well each fuel cell consumes (2.57x10^-3 lb/hr)/Amp of H2 [16:06:35] so assuming 1 fuel cell is carrying that, thats about 2 pounds of H2 for 260 hours roughly [16:06:59] Very rough calculations :P [16:07:22] This is for the 3 amps of the CMC [16:07:23] 2 pounds out of what, 50? [16:07:39] 56 [16:07:58] so like 4 percent [16:08:04] Yeah [16:08:16] So looks like you can still get an extra day [16:08:58] and the fact I did not do any purging, could that have added even more? [16:09:02] Yes [16:09:14] and we simulate that I guess [16:09:17] The purge rate adds 0.67 lb/hr [16:09:21] We do, yes [16:10:16] So take your H2 consumption, add 0.67 lbs/hr [16:10:18] well sounds very good then [16:11:01] So the minimum on a FC H2 purge should be 0.014 lb [16:11:05] For 1 cell [16:11:15] Not including the current consumption for power [16:11:27] So H2 FC purges were how often per rules? [16:11:46] not very often [16:11:55] Yeah I think O2 was once a day [16:11:59] H2 was maybe 2 days? [16:12:03] like maybe 4 in the whole mission [16:12:05] yeah [16:12:40] That adds up to about 0.18 lbs for the whole mission [16:13:03] Of additional use [16:13:28] I noticed something too, the H2 wont purge unless the heater switch is on [16:13:56] the H2 purging itself, makes the fuel cell more efficient, and therefore leads to less H2 consumption if I understand that correctly? [16:14:37] Yeah it clears contaminants from the catalyst [16:17:32] I was curious about something else as well. Would it be possible to make the 2 tanks in our CSM, have the same combined mass/volume as the 3 tanks in the Apollo 14-17 CSM, by adjusting those same numbers in the config? [16:18:27] In theory, yes [16:18:36] Not something to be committed of course for NASSP 8, but just something for testing [16:18:44] But the best solution is to add a tank and plumb it [16:19:10] Oh you mean to just have more O2 for a longer mission right now? [16:19:19] yeah [16:19:21] and H2 [16:19:35] Yeah I could come up with a config tweak I think [16:19:42] like make the 2 tanks have the same amount as the 3 tanks [16:19:50] However I cannot find out if they added an H2 tank [16:20:14] I dont think the H2 quantity was changed [16:20:37] Which still leads me to believe the consumption is too high, the fuel cells are right on the money, so that means too much power I believe [16:23:41] Ah they did add an H2 tank [16:24:10] And the tanks were the same sizes ad the others [16:24:35] So the easy way i could do it for you is just make the two tanks bigger [16:24:42] right [16:25:07] like the 3rd tanks mass/volume split between the two [16:25:45] morning! [16:25:53] hey Mike [16:26:13] what's up? [16:27:04] Alex I will have those numbers in a few for your flying pleasure :P [16:28:30] thanks! no rush of course [16:28:47] btw here is an interesting post about all this: http://www.ibiblio.org/mscorbit/mscforum/index.php?topic=2729.0 [16:29:28] One thing though, the tank max quantities for the indicator is in the code [16:30:01] hmm [16:30:02] So either that will make things get screwy, or (I am hoping) the quantity reads full until the tanks reach the previous maximum amounts [16:30:16] I am pretty sure its just for gauging [16:30:35] Let me get some energy values calculated and I will give you the tank info [16:37:50] Regarding your article [16:37:59] The reactant flow rates are almost spot on with the AOH [16:38:06] post not article [16:38:50] So those changes worked well [16:41:06] you mean the new flow rates the guy came up with are spot on? [16:41:36] Yes [16:41:46] That was one of the first things I looked at for this problem [16:41:53] Fuel cell consumption based on amperage [16:42:09] And they are almost perfect wrt the AOH [16:42:54] ok so right now in our code they are wrong? [16:42:57] So that led me to believe the fuel cells were not the problem, it had to be the tanks or the power draw [16:43:07] No they are correct right now [16:43:13] oh ok [16:43:25] The fuel cells are good its the CSM drawing too much I believe [16:43:34] so the numbers the guy came up with are incorrect, because they were never incorporated [16:45:01] I guess? [16:45:12] I can play with them, of course [16:45:50] But the numbers I had when I was testing were very close to AOH draw [16:45:59] I had once done his changes myself, but as it stands the changes he proposed were not added, maybe because as you say the numbers are already good [16:46:13] yeah [16:48:36] I will try them on the bigger tanks too since its already up [16:48:41] I had tried his new numbers way back and it definably made a difference, added like 30 hours of H2, and I had reported that to Niklas. He then made a quick calculation and said the current ratios are already correct and those new numbers in the post are just experimental and that must be why they never added them. [16:50:27] I am inclined to agree that the current numbers are correct to be honest [16:50:52] yeah me too [16:51:07] O2TANK1 <0.5 1.0 -6.0> 200.90805 0.0000001 [16:51:07] CHM 0 217724.3386 0.0 29270000.0 [16:51:08] VALVE IN 1 0.0001 [16:51:08] VALVE OUT 1 0.00001 [16:51:09] VALVE LEAK 0 1.000 # to O2VENT [16:51:09] [16:51:10] [16:51:11] O2TANK2 <0.5 1.0 -6.0> 200.90805 0.0000001 [16:51:13] CHM 0 217724.3386 0.0 29270000.0 [16:51:14] the config file changes seem to have made it work anyway [16:51:15] VALVE IN 1 0.0001 [16:51:17] VALVE OUT 1 0.00001 [16:51:19] VALVE LEAK 0 1.000 # to O2VENT [16:51:21] [16:51:23] [16:51:25] H2TANK1 <0.5 -1.0 -6.0> 286.70805 0.0000001 [16:51:27] CHM 1 19050.87954 0.0 4170000.0 [16:51:29] VALVE IN 1 0.001 [16:51:33] VALVE OUT 1 0.000001 [16:51:35] [16:51:37] H2TANK2 <0.5 -1.0 -5.0> 286.70805 0.0000001 [16:51:39] CHM 1 19050.87954 0.0 4170000.0 [16:51:41] VALVE IN 1 0.001 [16:51:43] VALVE OUT 1 0.000001 [16:51:45] [16:51:47] There are your "3" tanks [16:51:54] thanks! [16:51:56] I have the same weird thing happening when O2 1 goes high and comes back down on startup idk why [16:52:10] on every scenario? [16:52:27] Any launch scenario [16:52:38] It looks like the heater or fan is on [16:52:51] I am wondering if it is the O2 filling the rest of the system [16:53:00] And drops to the heater switch pressure [16:53:12] And the heater just does a normal thing [16:53:53] O2 1 pressure gauge? [16:55:46] hmm mine look ok, both 02 PSI settle at ~940 [16:56:31] Yeah they eventually settle [16:56:40] Just a weird observation [16:56:58] Considering tank 1 and 2 feed everything together [16:58:01] Oh also make sure you change the lunar batteries [16:58:02] I definitely did see it go up, then come back down, both needles just slowly went up to 940 and settled [16:58:21] did not see it fo up* [16:58:45] Hm maybe it was a glitch I used 30x when I started it [17:00:03] change lunar batteries? [17:00:12] To the higher capacity [17:00:24] I changed the LM DES BATS to be pre J mission batteries [17:00:44] ah [17:00:51] Look in the config, you will see the 415AH bats commented out [17:01:01] Just comment out the 400AH and uncomment the 415AH [17:01:26] Also the lunar battery is not hooked up to anything in code so I left it commented out for now [17:04:59] so I can leave that one commented anyway [17:06:41] Yes [17:06:59] I commented it out because it got added to every LM and is pretty much just extra code not needed yet [17:07:22] Until we rewire the ECA's a bit to accept it and add the switch it should stay commented out [17:07:49] I liked these distractions from the LM, but I need to get back to those glycol flows :/ [17:08:10] Let me know how your consumables work out though [17:08:44] And I will leave the tank edits I have you in the config commented out so it can be pushed to the repo so we can use them later without having to redo them [17:08:50] *I gave you [17:09:00] Hopefully Niklas is ok with it [17:09:08] He is going to hate my next PR its big [17:14:41] I think that for the tank edits it makes sense as you say the volume was wrong [17:14:59] So it should be ok to PR that as the data is backed up from the AOH [17:15:36] And I will for sure give it some good testing and report back [17:17:21] Great [17:17:55] Yeah for whatever reason the masses were more or less right but the tank volumes were really small [17:18:18] I am betting they gave an arbitrary energy value and changed the volume to get the right pressure [17:23:02] haha lazy [17:37:24] so with the J tank mod I can run up to 368 hours before H2 exhaustion :D [17:42:02] Sounds right [17:42:07] Without the CMC [17:42:17] Or powering up burns or battery charging or purging [17:42:23] Or heaters etc [17:46:01] yep [18:06:35] crap I think I may have been wrong about the 30 hours extra H2 [18:07:09] I just ran some more tests and I made the mistake yesterday of using two different scenarios to make the comparison [18:08:39] Now I took the same CSM lunar orbit scenario (did not touch the switch config), and gave it a fresh load of O2,H2 and ran it the full span with the old and new tank configs [18:08:48] the both lasted 245 hours [18:10:29] Welcome back [18:10:47] o/ [18:11:40] hey guys [18:12:04] haha [18:12:13] hey Niklas [18:12:13] that's interesting [18:12:17] yeah [18:12:43] do they have any explanation for it? [18:13:22] i'd have to check if they question it in the transcripts [18:14:12] Oh and I landed right beside surveyor III [18:14:15] I'll look through the documents some time [18:14:28] and how much N69 cheatery did you need for that [18:14:30] on the 3rd attempt lol [18:15:40] rcflyinghokie, did you get your weird new CTDs resolved? [18:15:50] Yes I did [18:15:51] well at 1st I thought that the LR latitude error was fixed because I landed and the N68 and PAMFD lat/long were identical after landing [18:17:09] The debug pointed me to a weird place, but I found that I inadvertently deleted a between a pipe and a tank [18:17:19] So simple fix [18:17:34] ah, so not my new text files I added for the LVDC, that's good to hear [18:17:57] but then I realized my LR only started updating the SV right before P64 (10000 feet) because of user error [18:18:37] On Apollo 12 its V57E, and then wait for it... PRO, PRO ;) [18:18:59] Yeah I discovered it moments after you signed off haha [18:19:39] Oh in other news, I have had some better luck with glycol flows, but the bigger news is I may have fixed the depletion of consumables too early at least in part [18:19:49] yeah, that can be quite confusing with the LR. I prefer the Luminary 1E method, with the permanent DH display and a simple V57E to allow updates [18:20:29] I always like hearing positive ECS news [18:20:32] Turns out, the O2 and H2 tank volumes were incorrect in the config, and also the mass was a little on the low side from the AOH specs [18:20:42] In any event my RLS was updated to the actual LS altitude -0.77 NM so the updates happening at 10000 feet did not make me crash [18:20:57] Alex ran a little test and got about 30 more hours out of the 2 tank configuration after those changes [18:21:19] and the late LR update made me land right in the center of the snowman :D [18:21:59] actually, now I don't think its the case [18:25:28] we are quite sure that the LR is reponsible for the usual latitude error I guess. What needs more testing is range vs. velocity data being responsible [18:25:59] I would guess velocity [18:26:59] I'll have to check all the transformations again and what exactly the Orbiter API gives to the LR [18:27:33] yeah, I tried more tests with intentionally doing LR updates only very late, and it definitely helps the latitude error [18:28:42] I actually had a look at that section yesterday... lem->GetGroundspeedVector(FRAME_LOCAL, vel_lh); [18:28:50] yeah [18:29:06] local is in LM coordinates [18:31:03] rcflyinghokie, I don't know if you read above but I may have mis-read my testing and the consumption is in fact the same as before [18:31:36] No I missed that [18:31:42] Damn [18:32:03] Well at least the new volumes are right [18:32:20] I know I was stupid enough to use 2 different testing scenario with different systems config [18:33:25] anyway, now I took the same CSM lunar orbit scenario (did not touch the switch config), and gave it a fresh load of O2,H2 and ran it the full span with the old and new tank configs [18:33:31] both lasted 245 hours [18:34:03] Can i see the scn? [18:34:09] sure [18:34:55] https://www.dropbox.com/s/52gjr91p7ckptjj/Apollo%2011%20MCC%20-%20ECS%20tank%20test%201.scn?dl=0 [18:35:25] indy91: in other news, I got some new Grumman drawings: https://ws.onehub.com/folders/ue1gkpdl [18:35:53] 330-55000 is the schematics for the ECS [18:36:00] awesome! [18:36:29] that is 230 hours in Apollo 11, CSM in lunar orbit. What I did was gave it fresh numbers for 02/H2 from a pre-launch scenario (that I ran just before withg the updated configs) [18:36:32] also spent some time going through the one for the PGNCS, which is fantastic [18:36:53] thanks to that, I now know pretty confidently all but 14 pins on the 360-pin main AGC connector [18:37:28] rcflyinghokie, I did one scenario with the old and 1 with the new. The scenario I posted has the old config values I think [18:37:34] Yeah it does [18:37:38] Thats what I was about to ask [18:38:23] AlexB_88, can you check for me the equatorial inclination of the Apollo 12 lunar orbit? [18:38:42] for the new config I just ran a pre-launch with the new config, and put those numbers right into that scenario [18:39:02] indy91, on orbit MFD? [18:39:10] sure [18:39:24] the Apollo 12 mission report lists the sources of the pre-PDI latitude targeting error, which caused the crossrange at PDI [18:39:38] the largest part came from not accounting for "lunar orbit motion" [18:40:14] I bet that's also what is causing the large crossrange for us [18:40:50] 164.71, just before PDI [18:42:28] AlexB_88 the power totally dies a few minutes in to that scn for some reason [18:43:07] hmm, really [18:44:25] its ok on my end? weird [18:44:50] Yeah, maybe its the tank sizes on the FC manifolds [18:45:22] I changed those too probably confused the FC's haha [18:46:18] Nope same problem [18:47:32] I think eventually I will improve the LOI targeting to fix these crossrange issues especially on Apollo 12, but if they didn't even do that on the real missions by Apollo 12 then I don't see the need for hurry, lol [18:47:51] makes sense [18:48:01] has to be a function of orbital inclination [18:48:24] I'm reading that section of the mission report too and I can confirm that the RLS is to far north on Apollo 12 [18:48:41] yeah, it lists 3 error sources [18:49:03] which presents the question, should we put more accurate RLS's into pre-launch scenario's from the start? [18:49:23] main one being the trajectory between LOI and PDI with orbital precession and that stuff [18:49:28] hmm [18:49:45] probably not [18:50:58] thewonderidiot, which 4 subsystems did you request? ECS and? [18:52:23] and the schematics look a lot like the ones from the elementary schematics document... just actually readable [18:53:04] ECS, Radar Section of GNC, Mechanical (which is mostly pyro stuff), and Displays and Controls [18:53:46] also if you see any LSC- or LDW- numbers on any of these that would be useful, there is a chance NARA will have a drawing for it [18:54:42] going back through the elementary schematics looking for drawing references is on my short list of things to do [18:55:09] and I really want to see if we can figure out the North American equivalent of these, but the CSM handbooks seem to be much less forthcoming about their references [18:56:53] AlexB_88 I am at 218 hours 15% on the H2 gauge and I am getting a Main B UV [18:57:01] Fuel cell is still working though [18:57:21] they didn't turn up with anything numbered like LDW 370-200xxxx, unsurprisingly, but I still haven't given up hope that the AGC schematics are there and just filed strangely [18:57:24] I dont know why its voltage is dropping [18:57:25] I just read in Gene Kranz's autobiography that NAA was less forthcoming with their documentation in general [18:57:33] oh really? lame [18:58:08] yeah, they were of the opinion that they should be writing procedures for the CSM [18:58:24] not some people at the MSC who they didn't think would know the systems well enough [18:58:44] so they didn't like handing over documentation to the mission control teams for procedure writing etc. [18:58:48] mission rules [18:59:02] yeah [18:59:08] I mean, I can kind of see where they were coming from [19:00:39] the compromise was that NAA sent two of their engineers to Houston in addition to handing over their documentation [19:01:00] hahaha [19:01:32] was that not standard practice? MIT had "resident engineers" all over the place [19:02:48] yeah. Maybe up to that point NAA just didn't have people directly working with the flight control division at MSC [19:02:50] e.g. George Silver at the Cape, who found the LGC<-->RR interface bug on... LM-3 I think? and was pretty much ignored all the way up until it bit them on Apollo 11 [19:03:14] yeah that makes sense [19:05:46] btw, if you end up using any of these drawings before I've processed them, I've found Microsoft ICE to be very good at stitching them together [19:07:05] I'm going to try to finish my stitched-and-sorted PDF of the PGNCS shematics today [19:07:54] great [19:09:37] anything else I missed? rcflyinghokie, any checklist news? [19:10:46] Haha just the last changes I pushed after Alex's 11 flight [19:11:21] I guess it will be included in a bigger PR [19:11:29] I have been slowly getting the flows of the glycol loops up while keeping them stable, its been a pain but I am up to 224 lb/hr [19:11:36] No I believe its already been merged [19:11:43] oh, ok [19:12:00] Nothing new since [19:12:17] But I have been sidetracked by this H2 consumption issue [19:12:51] rcflyinghokie, maybe my scenario is not compatible with some new ECS stuff you have? [19:13:18] Yeah I have fixed that power issue in the beginning by just deleting the stuff from the scn so my config overwrites it [19:13:40] ah ok [19:14:35] Im going to try my scenario from yesterday again, the one where it got me up to 265 hours [19:17:52] Apollo 7 can go a long time, probably due to powering down the PGNS and SCS a bunch of times [19:17:55] indy91, for the Fuel Cells, what is the "power" parameter actually referring to? [19:18:17] power where? In the config? [19:20:08] or in the FC code [19:20:27] The config [19:22:00] is that the 1730.0? [19:22:16] Yes [19:23:49] max_power variable in fuel cell code [19:23:56] reactant = dt * max_power * thrust / 2880.0 * 0.2894 ; //grams /second/ 100 amps [19:24:15] but also [19:24:17] thrust = power_load / max_power / (1 - log(1 + clogg)); //clogg is preventing normal flow [19:25:29] so its max power, any idea the units? [19:26:25] could it be watts? [19:27:51] That was my initial thought [19:27:59] I am looking for the FC actual max output [19:32:50] What was the nominal current draw for a mission [19:33:42] I am seeing with the CMC off a draw of about 80 [19:34:09] 25 on FC 1 and 2 and 30 on FC3 [19:34:55] Assuming CMC off and no heaters running and no purging thats about 260 hours [19:35:13] However with heaters kicking off and on I get about 220-230 hours [19:37:19] Ok at about 20% the heaters kicking on caused an undervolt on FC3 [19:43:08] I found my scenario where I got 265 hours and it was not the new tank configs, I think its a switch config on the CSM ECS panel, im trying to narrow down what it is [19:43:20] maybe a heater like you say [19:48:23] The one you gave me nothings out fo the ordinary [19:50:21] I am messing with these manifolds as well to make sure they arent messing anything up, I just tried pressure regulators on them but for some reason the H2 manifold wont get up to the right pressure [19:57:42] hmm my scenario with 265 hours has the same config with the one I sent you, and cant figure out why I get such a different H2 consumption [19:58:27] one difference is the scenario where I get 265 hours is fresh from yesterday, where as the other is from a few weeks ago... Maybe something has been adjusted since? [20:00:41] Can you send me that one? [20:02:59] sure [20:03:50] https://www.dropbox.com/s/r1mlegrhfsbxhk5/ECS%20test%202.scn?dl=0 [20:06:54] That one has all the current conditions ECS wise from what I can see [20:07:34] indy91, for PREG's what results from using 0.0 as the min and max pressure? [20:09:23] Like in this case, for example [20:09:24] CABINREPRESSVALVE [20:09:24] O2MAINREGULATOR:OUT CABIN:IN PREG 0.0 0.0 ONEWAY [20:09:25] [20:10:15] uhh [20:11:25] that shouldn't allow any flow [20:11:40] maybe this pipe is controlled by code [20:12:46] it is [20:13:00] https://github.com/dseagrav/NASSP/blob/Orbiter2016/Orbitersdk/samples/ProjectApollo/src_csm/ecs.cpp#L89 [20:13:27] There are a lot in the CSM like that [20:15:01] Ok just curious [20:15:08] probably all controlled by code [20:15:15] I experimented with regulating the pressure going into the FC manifolds [20:15:17] might be good for debugging [20:15:29] disabling pipes by default, if they are controlled in code anyway [20:15:45] so if the code doesnt work or isn't used you will instantly notice is, due to no flow [20:15:59] So that the manifolds are at the FC inlet pressure instead of feed tank pressure [20:16:18] The O2 tank holds the correct pressure but the H2 always reads about 10 psi less [20:17:19] no idea, could be many things [20:17:58] Ok, well considering the FC flow rate is controlled I dont think that pressure regulation matters in those manifolds [20:18:06] Just an experiment haha [20:21:08] Also, would the fact that all 3 manifolds share a single outlet valve from the h2 tanks cause an issue? [20:22:09] maybe [20:22:22] any reason to not use OUT, OUT2 and LEAK? [20:22:42] No, but to replicate it on the O2 side I would need an extra valve [20:23:11] But I will try it on the H2 first and see if it makes a difference [20:30:40] Hmm I add those valves and the LEAK valves dont flow [20:32:06] Well its not the valve but I cannot isolate it [20:32:49] pipe? [20:34:38] Haha yeah I left a PREG without parameters [20:39:40] indy91, so I guess Apollo 15-17 presettings this week? :p [20:39:46] Regarding consumption during time accel, is it possible that the tank heaters are "running" longer than normal due to the time increase? [20:40:06] Or would that be accurate in the timestep [20:42:54] I ran a test with the heaters off, and did not make much of a difference [20:43:45] if they cycle on and off and increase the temperature "too much" during an on cycle, then it should take longer until the next time they are on [20:43:52] so maybe [20:44:18] AlexB_88, 15 is basically done, 16 will come soon, 17 is tricky because I mostly have info on the actual launch azimuth and time [20:45:05] ah right you said that about 17 [20:45:23] and due to the constant arrival time targeting the orbital elements of the TLI trajectory will be quite different than the ones for a launch on time [20:46:20] maybe the scenario could be set towards the actual launch-time by default? [20:46:51] that would be possible [20:47:13] the FER has the operational trajectory numbers for the actual launch [20:47:25] actual launch azimuth [20:47:53] maybe we could for now have two scenarios, Apollo 17 nominal launch (without presettings) and a scenario with the delay and the presettings [20:49:01] Ok with my current settings 205 hours brings me to 20% H2 remaining [20:49:39] rcflyinghokie, yeah about what I see too [20:49:55] Question is, why at about 15% do my fuel cells start shutting down [20:50:12] hmm [20:50:29] mine seem to shutdown at like 6-7% [20:50:32] Also my manifold pressure is 50psi lower than tank pressure [20:51:17] maybe the SCOT for Apollo 17 has some numbers I can use [20:51:20] have to check [20:52:56] 235 hours 10% [20:53:04] Still running after my latest changes [20:54:06] 245 still going [20:54:21] using the target vector from the actual launch with the eccentricity and orbital energy for the planned launch could be ok [20:54:31] the Moon is not moving all that much in 2:40h [20:55:43] 246 FC3 went off [20:56:11] well Apollo 12 re-entered at 244 so its good! :D [20:56:43] Actually no it just undervolted when the heaters went on [20:56:48] Still running [20:56:59] ah [20:58:09] The FC shuts off early because for some reason the manifold cant maintain pressure [21:02:33] valve size? [21:06:12] Yeah I might have to reduce them in the manifolds [21:06:19] Or increase [21:06:43] Its simply H2TANK->pipe->H2MANIFOLD [21:06:50] And the FC takes from the manifold [21:06:57] Regulating its own flow [21:07:11] Which, by the way, the FC flows are perfectly in tune with the AOH [21:07:29] So FC consumption isnt a problem, but perhaps power consumption is [21:08:45] yea [21:08:47] h [21:15:02] Larger valves are helping [21:15:12] And no ill effects from time accel to 10000 [21:16:16] larger valves for the FC? [21:18:19] did you just say 10000x time acceleration? :D [21:19:43] Yes with the CMC off [21:19:55] larger valves for the FC manifolds [21:20:16] so it can hold a higher pressure longer and not shut the cells down until tank pressure cant be maintained [21:20:39] how long does the H2 last now? [21:20:55] Still going [21:24:46] night! [21:25:55] 246 is pretty much where I shut down [21:26:00] OR start to [21:26:44] And thats with no CMC as you know [21:27:06] So the next thing to look into is of course power draw [21:27:19] But the H2/FC systems seem to be working properly [21:29:41] one thing I noted with my 235 hours H2 scenario was take pictures of the panel, then open my 265 hours H2 scenario and match the switch positions from the pictures [21:30:00] And that made it die a 235 hours as well [21:30:16] so may very well be something that is drawing to much power [21:30:50] What was different? [21:31:02] a whole bunch of things [21:31:38] one thing was the high gain antenna, anyway to check what the power draw is on it? [21:31:51] Yeah I can probably find it in code [21:32:58] if (sat->GHAServoElecSwitch.IsUp()) [21:32:59] { [21:32:59] sat->HGAFLTBus1CB.DrawPower(16.45); [21:33:00] } [21:33:00] else [21:33:01] { [21:33:02] sat->HGAFLTBus1CB.DrawPower(22.84); [21:33:05] } [21:33:07] sat->HGAGroup2CB.DrawPower(34.5); [21:34:01] So its drawing normally 16.45W + 34.5W [21:34:32] hmm I wonder where we can verify that [21:35:48] There were comments saying it was in the AOH [21:37:55] Not seeing anything concrete in it though but I am skimming [21:38:50] same here [21:42:33] Dc Power (watts) 16.45 (PRIM), 22.84 (SEC) [21:43:10] page 94 of AOH CSM 114 [21:44:51] Well there ya go haha [21:45:10] ac power is PRIM 34.5 [21:45:15] Now what about the 34.5 on Group2 [21:46:26] 34.5 AC [21:48:28] Ok so thats all good [21:51:55] I need to take a break [21:54:17] lol I don't blame you [21:54:35] you deserve a few beers for all that hard work [22:04:01] fuel cell 3 seems to have higher amps then the 2 others (30) [22:07:27] Apollo 11 mission report indicates they should all be 22.9 on average [23:00:04] Well I dont remember what launch config we are using, but if you look, FC1 and 2 both share MNA [23:00:10] And FC3 alone is on MNB [23:03:05] FC1 and 2 are actually about 23 [23:03:17] But FC3 hits between 32 and 40 [23:03:43] If I had that Apollo 11 launch checklist, I bet the prelaunch info is in there... [23:25:29] yeah it would make sense that the amps on 1 and 2 are lower as they both share one bus [23:25:53] but the mission reports indicate an average of 22.9 per fuel cell [23:26:14] I'm assuming that means all 3 [23:28:00] maybe Main Bus B has something on there that consumes too much [23:35:20] Could be [23:38:00] Remember Main B also powers AC 2 by itself [23:38:18] Which, actually is the normal configuration [23:38:41] Thats why they lost MNB on 13, FC 3 carried the load itself and it died first [23:38:53] Which makes me think the FC switching is correct [23:38:59] Just too much consumption [23:39:25] I wonder if it is time accel as you said [23:39:28] Also, something to think about, when do you start powering down the SM systems prior to reentry [23:39:41] Because you kill a lot of greedy systems [23:39:49] Well before you lose the SM [23:39:59] hmm -30 minutes? [23:40:10] Still cutting it close [23:40:31] Main B is only pulling 22 amps [23:40:46] but FC3 is outputting 32 [23:40:52] That seems odd [23:41:48] Check out a save, look at the amps on main b then look at fc3 amps [23:41:51] hmm what happened to 10 amps? [23:42:04] Shouldnt FC3 have the same amperage as main B? [23:42:54] If you look at 1 and 2, main A is about the same as FC1 and 2 added together [23:43:31] Actually no the FCs are a bit higher than half [23:43:40] Wonder if that is coded somewhere in efficiency [23:46:15] any other users of the fuel cells then the main buses? [23:46:24] shouldnt be [23:46:41] I mean they will power the RCS after Sm sep but we dont simulate that [23:52:24] In the post from earlier the guy had made a calculation of the amps per fuel cell: [23:52:31] "This led me to believe that our programmed reactant flow rates are a bit off. Aside from just using the spreadsheet to confirm this finding, I took a look for what the average amperage was per fuel cell on Apollo 8 (22.7 amps per cell, per the mission report). Next, I took several quicksaves, and averaged the last value in the row (power load), then averaged them for each cell, and finally, divided by 28.8 (fuel cell [23:52:32] voltage). Boom. What do you know? 22.8 amps per cell on average in the simulation. This is both great news and bad news. The great news is that our average amperage simulation (provided all systems are operating as they should during the respective phases of flight) is amazingly similar to that of the real mission. The bad news is that it could not have been a high amperage causing the rate of H2 and O2 consumption to be so high. [23:52:33] This confirms my belief that the coded reactant flow rate is inaccurate for the simulation." [23:53:29] I wonder if the technique he used to come up with that is accurate though... [23:54:29] Hmmm [23:54:30] Not sure [23:54:35] But on a similar note; [23:54:46] //In-line heater power, moreover this prevents the fuel cells from stopping [23:54:46] power_load += 160.0; [23:54:52] So 160 is added to all powerloads [23:54:55] All the time [23:55:01] for in line heaters [23:55:21] So I wonder if maybe power is doubled up somewhere or incorrect [23:58:19] hmm I wonder what commenting that out would do [23:58:38] Thats exactly what I am doing haha [23:58:42] haha [23:58:53] Seems weird [23:59:14] That was the source of the extra current [23:59:39] There still is a little but thats probably efficiency losses [23:59:48] Ill try this on 1000x [00:01:07] huge difference so far [00:01:18] the only thing I see that could be an issue is the fc temps [00:01:25] they are still green but a the bottom [00:01:45] But wait [00:01:53] # Fuel cell heaters [00:01:54] FUELCELL1HEATER 1 AC_2 100.0 100.0 TEMP 470.0 472.0 ELECTRIC:FUELCELL1 [00:01:54] FUELCELL2HEATER 1 AC_2 100.0 100.0 TEMP 470.0 472.0 ELECTRIC:FUELCELL2 [00:01:55] FUELCELL3HEATER 1 AC_1 100.0 100.0 TEMP 470.0 472.0 ELECTRIC:FUELCELL3 [00:01:57] There are heaters there too [00:02:02] I think it may have been doubled [00:02:30] who coded this thing ;) [00:03:24] Before my time :P [00:04:39] haha I'm referring of the guys that made the CSM ECS rather [00:04:39] I need to make sure I didnt remove something that is real of course [00:04:54] 130 hours, 60% [00:05:05] but I'm sure that getting it stable was no easy task for them so they had to make compromises [00:05:16] Thankfully it still is stable with that gone [00:05:25] good [00:05:36] All fuel cells are staying around 400 degrees [00:05:48] 200 hours 40% [00:06:05] I think this might fix it assuming it is not needed like I think [00:06:12] Apollo 12 had 17% at re-enrty I believe [00:06:17] at 244 hours [00:06:20] I was just going to ask [00:06:34] about 18% at 260 [00:06:38] Without the CMC [00:06:41] And other heaters [00:06:42] right [00:06:46] I think that is correct [00:06:56] good find!! [00:07:03] Let me test a launch and see if initialization works [00:07:25] And then look at the AOH and sys handbooks to see if that was real or nor [00:07:26] not [00:07:31] Because it does seem out of place [00:07:47] moreover this prevents the fuel cells from stopping [00:07:56] well clearly they didnt stop [00:08:02] yeah [00:08:09] Just need to test it with an IMU/CMC powerdown [00:08:14] Make sure the tems are right [00:08:17] temps [00:08:26] less draw means cooler fuel cells [00:13:59] so did you just comment out the power_load += 160.0; and thats it? [00:14:21] and the heater config changes? [00:35:25] No changes in the config [00:35:31] Those were there already [00:35:54] I hate buying laptops I keep putting off pulling the trigger haha [00:36:04] haha [00:36:06] My 10 year old laptop is finally giving out [00:36:14] Desktops are so much easier [00:36:20] You buy components [00:36:45] Laptops are a total cost/benefit problem [00:37:05] I find ASUS makes the best hardware laptop or desktop [00:37:27] I bought a ROG laptop recently, very good [00:38:14] Yeah I am impressed with their stuff but I actually found similar specs in an hp believe it or not [00:38:23] GTX 1050 and an i7 7700hq [00:38:29] 729 [00:38:37] really? Nice [00:38:44] Yeah the similar ASUS is about 1100 [00:38:52] very similar specs to mine [00:39:01] I love ASUS I have a lot of their hardware but I couldnt beat this deal I think haha [00:39:07] Besides I dont need it for heavy gaming [00:39:16] yeah [00:39:25] Just as a fully functioning computer for some gaming and of course NASSP when i am in Alaska [00:40:00] I have a GTX 1050 and it will handle some of the FPS's I have pretty well like FarCry, BF1 [00:41:19] Awesome I play BF1 [00:42:34] nice! [00:42:35] I am trying to figure out though why 16% tax is being applied [00:50:14] Back to the FC [00:50:39] "A load on the [00:50:40] powerplant of approximately 563 watts is req u i red [00:50:40] to maintain it above the normal minimum operating [00:50:41] temperature of 385° F. The automatic in-line heater [00:50:41] circuit will maintain powerplant temperature in this [00:50:42] range with smaller loads applied." [00:50:45] bad copy paste [00:51:00] I thought thats what the fuel cell heaters in the config were [00:57:14] I tried the fix on my end too, but now have trouble activation the main buses on launch scenarios [00:58:18] Ah probably not hot enough [00:58:26] the fix being commenting power_load += 160.0;\ [00:58:34] GSE is supposed to heat them on the ground [00:58:42] Then the load/heaters keep the heat going [00:59:20] I bet that code heats them on the ground even though it isnt supposed to [01:00:00] the power_load += 160.0;? [01:00:05] Yeah [01:00:25] Keeps the heat up because theres no load [01:00:33] Even though the GSE heaters are supposed to do it [01:00:56] What needs to be in code is the FC heaters on the GSE bus until internal power [01:01:17] In the config they are on the AC busses [01:01:43] I need to ask Niklas if GSE power is simulated and to what extent [01:01:50] The bones are there for it in the config [01:03:01] i'm glad we're getting to the bottom of this issue [01:03:25] was the CMC/IMU powerdown test you spoke of good? [01:05:25] Ah I have not tried yet [01:05:40] Lets try now [01:09:09] Yeah it holds temperature [01:09:18] Heaters kick on [01:09:40] The reason I think the heaters arent working on the pad is well they are on the CSM electrical bus [01:10:26] Yeah powerdown is good [01:16:11] When did you have trouble during launch [01:17:58] when activating the main buses [01:18:49] like when activating MNA on FC1 the indicator just momentarily goes to gray, then goes back to barber pole [01:19:01] same when activating MNB on FC3 [01:20:51] Yeah something shut those down [01:23:23] I think because the power load is zero it "thinks" the FC is shut down [01:31:20] Yeah GSE should power the CSM [01:34:52] I dont know why the code is preventing connecting the fuel cells though [01:35:57] Maybe changing the power_load to something smaller could work [01:38:49] "prevents the fuel cells from stopping" perhaps this is what was referred to [01:39:37] well, its not the fuel cells stopping of course, just the buses not activating [01:41:41] Well the fuel cells have no voltage or current [01:41:58] I set it to 60, keeps them up [01:42:15] What we need though is that only to be during GSE power [01:42:19] Not the whole mission [01:42:43] I am going to try 10W for now [01:43:02] If that keeps it alive we can work from there and have that power load only during GSE power [01:43:07] why not add an if mission time < 0 before it? [01:43:34] Well i would rather get in a position to hook up GSE power [01:43:47] And have it based on that which can be based on mission time if that makes sense [01:43:56] That way we also dont consume as much on the pad anyways [01:44:07] Not that there is much [01:44:27] the value itself is wrong I guess? [01:44:32] But 160x3 is 480 watts extra on the electrical system [01:44:48] The value is probably based on minimum load [01:45:26] right [01:45:30] Even 10 watts keeps the FC's alive for launch [01:45:53] So we have somewhere to start attacking the consumption because thats why we used too much H2 [01:46:11] But I am going to resume that tomorrow [01:46:31] Hopefully we can get some sort of GSE worked out where that isnt a constant draw throughout the mission [01:46:36] Goodnight! [01:46:41] night! [12:22:45] . [13:34:28] morning [13:36:19] hey [13:36:55] Ryan thinks he's found the cause of the high O2/H2 consumption [13:37:16] what is it? [13:37:48] this line in Esystems.cpp: [13:37:50] /In-line heater power, moreover this prevents the fuel cells from stopping [13:37:50] power_load += 160.0; [13:38:16] oh, so some idle power consumption [13:39:05] "heater power", do we also simulate this separately? [13:39:42] does he have an idea how to change this? [13:40:35] I think he was saying it should be part of GSE [13:40:53] and only be during prelaunch [13:40:57] hmm [13:41:41] we tested it by commenting that line out and that gave perfect consumptions for 300 hours [13:42:34] the caviat is the FC's dont start on prelaunch scenarios so thats why that line was there in the 1st place I think [13:43:21] should be possible to solve with some additional coding [13:43:39] but he said even just giving it 10 watts of power and the FC don't die on a prelaunch scenario [13:43:47] yeah [13:44:14] maybe a if misson time < 0 before it ? [13:45:57] haha, no, that would be super hacky [13:46:18] if this has any real life equivalent (heater), then I'll add proper coding for it [13:46:34] something that switches it on and off [13:46:45] we have a large GSE section for this kind of stuff [13:46:49] yeah sounds like a good plan [13:47:25] I'm sure there was some sort of heater for it on GSE [13:47:45] I'll ask Ryan to figure that out [13:48:12] FC cooling at least is switched over to SC power at T-15min [13:48:13] im just glad we may of found the root cause [13:48:16] yeah [13:52:43] ah, just found the inline heater in the Systems Handbook [13:52:47] 160 watts indeed [13:53:07] part of GSE? [13:53:19] no, connected to the fuel cell heater switches [13:53:33] which might not have a function for us right now [13:54:52] it does have a function [13:56:08] but of course it draws power separately from the 160W right now [13:56:15] 100W for some reason, in the config [13:57:14] so its basically 100W too much [13:57:27] kind of [13:57:51] yeah, 160W too much, but also probably 60W too small [13:58:13] are those heaters always on? [13:58:17] the switches [13:58:23] think so [13:58:29] of course that is not 100W constantly [13:58:38] it keeps the temperature in the correct range [13:58:46] so closer to 160W too much [13:59:36] so in any case the 160W shouldn't be in the FC code [13:59:45] because we simulate those heaters separately [13:59:59] yeah, the config heaters I guess should be set to 160 [14:00:20] and the Esystems one removed [14:00:53] yes [14:01:31] just need to figure out why the FC doesn't start without the 160W in code [14:02:19] ah I see, the FC is powering itself down if there is no load on it whatsoever [14:03:41] ah, thats why only 10w worked [14:04:56] yeah [14:05:18] have to figure out if the FC actual should shut itself down like that [14:05:22] actually* [14:07:18] I just tried power_load += 1.0; and it still starts [14:07:33] yeah [14:07:44] if (reaction && Volts > 0.0) [14:07:44] Amperes = (power_load / Volts); [14:07:45] else [14:07:45] status = 2; [14:07:46] Amperes = 0; [14:08:10] reaction is a double, so only and only if that is 0.0 the "else" term will be executed [14:08:16] status = 2 is powering down [14:09:25] when does the FC start? Right at the beginning of the T-4h scenario? [14:09:47] they are on usually right at the start [14:10:47] ok [14:22:27] ok, I am in favour of adding a small idle power load, at least for now [14:23:06] if (power_load < 1.0) [14:23:07] power_load += 1.0; [14:24:18] yeah makes sense [14:24:35] lets see what Ryan thinks about it [14:25:03] oh and should we adjust the config heaters to 160? [14:25:20] yes [14:25:43] I'm just testing [14:25:44] FUELCELL1HEATER 1 AC_2 160.0 160.0 TEMP 470.0 472.0 ELECTRIC:FUELCELL1 [14:25:47] I am quite sure the 100W in the config and 160W in the code were done by different people at different times [14:25:48] if I did that right [14:25:50] yes [14:26:22] I have the changes ready, and I can simply commit them, if Ryan agrees [14:27:44] I also have Apollo 16 TLI presettings ready. Same as all missions where the FER had the operational trajectory numbers, the orbital elements agree within 0.004° [14:27:55] nice! [14:28:14] and I can't do Apollo 17 on-time launch, I don't have the right numbers [14:29:32] best I could do is use our own generated TB6 and TLI state vectors [14:30:26] from an Apollo 17 mission using RTCC MFD targeting [14:31:59] might be worth it [14:34:59] hey Ryan [14:35:58] Morning [14:35:59] hey [14:36:13] what I will do though is add presettings for the actual launch time [14:36:23] we have all the numbers for it, same as the other missions [14:36:25] great [14:36:46] Alex, did you mention the FC code we found by chance? [14:36:49] yes [14:36:53] good job finding that [14:37:18] my proposed solution: [14:37:22] //Small idle power load to prevent the fuel cells from stopping [14:37:22] if (power_load < 1.0) [14:37:23] power_load += 1.0; [14:37:41] Now, would this mess with fuel cell shutdown [14:37:50] Actually, it shouldnt [14:38:02] the FC shuts itself down without any power load [14:38:05] Because we can shut them down currently [14:38:12] Great [14:38:15] not sure if that is realistic [14:38:38] Yeah that power load refers to an in line heater that keeps the electrolyte warm, and not a load on the cell [14:39:04] those 160W are confirmed in the Systems Handbook [14:39:11] but we already separately simulate those heaters [14:39:13] And those heaters are in the config but they are not coded to use GSE on the pad, therefore they cannot run [14:39:28] Actually the config has the wrong power [14:39:31] yes [14:39:33] I think I saw 100W in there [14:39:37] I fixed that locally [14:39:50] 160 on both? [14:39:51] and what do you mean with GSE? How is GSE even involved in all of this? [14:40:13] Well the fuel cells are heated on the pad and kept warm using GSE power until the spacecraft is on internal power I believe [14:40:34] Because until then, there is not enough load to keep them warm [14:41:24] what I am seeing in the Systems Handbook is the heater being directly powered by the FC output [14:41:32] and controlled by the switches of course [14:42:21] Even on the pad? [14:42:44] do the SM Main Buses get powered by GSE on the pad? [14:42:59] maybe there are some separate GSE heaters though [14:43:11] Yeah I am pulling up what I saw now [14:43:18] are those switches wired in our sim? [14:43:32] yes [14:43:37] I flip them and they don't seem to change the amp draw [14:44:03] they are not always on [14:44:15] control the temperature between 470K and 472K [14:44:24] ah right [14:44:42] so its 160w that cycle on and off through the mission [14:44:51] I saw a GSE connection to the main busses in a FC schematic last night I am searching for it [14:45:12] but I guess before it had 160w all the time with the FC code heater [14:45:20] Actually they barely were used on a normal mission I believe as the power load kept the temps up [14:45:34] yes, the 160W were always on [14:45:40] Yeah the previous has the heaters in the config and then 160W of continuous power [14:46:04] By the way removing that gives us almost exactly the proper H2 at entry [14:46:14] very nice [14:46:41] I'm sure we simulate some systems at permanent peak power instead of varying power, so, I'd expect it to be at least a little bit high [14:46:50] Right [14:46:53] in my test I arrive at 22% at 244 hours (apollo 12 re-entry) [14:46:55] But at least it wont run out now :) [14:47:10] And Apollo 12 mission report at re-entry: 17 % H2 [14:47:13] Is that without burns and CMC? [14:47:15] until you figure out the GSE for this, I'll commit the fix [14:47:21] Ok [14:47:34] and yes without CMC, so that explains probably the 5% extra [14:47:48] So the usage looks good [14:48:00] looks good [14:48:02] Great [14:48:28] I am still working with flows for my glycol loop but I can PR my changes thus far, everything is stable [14:48:46] oh with this fix, will you still commit the tank config? [14:48:53] I have the sec loop up in the 200 lb/hr range versus like 30 [14:48:57] Yeah [14:48:59] I guess that fix is still valid anyway [14:49:03] Yep per AOH [14:49:29] Did you say you didnt get one tank pressure climbing and settling when you tried it? [14:49:37] nope [14:51:02] update pushed [14:52:01] Ok I will put mine up too, its a lot but everything has survived many time accel tests [14:54:15] I hope from now on we can focus on tweaking instead of those big changes [14:55:20] Nothing change wise is really big in my PR [14:55:44] But yes, I need to keep tweaking these glycol loops [14:56:08] haha, great, then we are already doing tweaking [14:56:15] Exactly [14:56:16] until the NaNs appear again... [14:56:20] Well none yet [14:56:20] which won't happen [14:56:26] only in our nightmares [14:56:26] I think removing that GetQ [14:56:52] Plus the prevention of negative Q's [14:56:58] Helped a lot [14:57:49] I will look into the GSE as well and see what is done with that [14:58:05] I have made promising results with glycol flow though [14:58:18] Its been a PITA adjusting sizes [14:58:31] You will see how finicky it is when you look at my numbers [14:58:40] But it is stable [14:58:57] The only issue I have been seeing is when you switch panels, the pressures rise [14:59:12] And if you do it a bunch they stay high and slowly come back down [15:00:18] so large timestep variations are still an issue [15:00:34] switching panels is weird anyway. All of the switches get reloaded in some way [15:01:40] Seems to be worse in the LM [15:01:55] And I still have to move a switch or button to get it to smooth out when I load the LM [15:07:56] There is an efficiency programmed into the FC's right? [15:08:03] rcflyinghokie, if I get some panels changes worked out for the J-mission tank configuration, will the extra tanks + plumbing be not to hard to do in the near future? [15:08:12] Because the FC's still draw more current than the bus [15:09:09] yes, FC has some efficiency [15:09:12] Well plumbing the extra tanks into the current config is not hard, and I could make that work, but the CSM ECS is not by the book at all as far as plumbing goes [15:09:23] J-Mission CSMs will probably load a separate config [15:09:56] indy91 great that explains it, I actually found that piece of code because I noticed the high current on FC3 that was higher than MNB [15:10:08] Now its just a few amps if that instead of 15-20 [15:16:20] is the slight inefficiency already correct maybe? [15:16:57] could be [15:19:42] If I time accel on a launch scn to 10 or 30x my tank 1's both climb as if the heater or fan is on [15:19:57] They dont hit the cryo press limit [15:20:01] one thing we do get now is the FC1,2,3 caution lights are on during pre-launch [15:20:02] and settle back down [15:21:06] Yep its a fan or heater turning on for some reason [15:21:20] O2 and H2 tank 1 [15:21:33] Right on start [15:22:44] If I turn them off when i load wait a minute or so then turn them back to auto they behave normally [15:22:50] Maybe a transient on loading? [15:25:28] associated with FC RAD temp low [15:26:00] when you activate MNB on FC3 it goes out after a few minutes [15:26:44] maybe I should have tested this change... [15:26:45] so presumably since we took out the 160 w in the FC code, the temps go to low, until you activate the main buses [15:27:14] because of course the config heaters probably only come on with the MNB [15:28:07] might be where the GSE heater is needed? [15:28:20] the heaters are not powered by the main buses though [15:28:24] at least they shouldn't be [15:28:55] they are wired to AC1 and 2 in the config [15:30:15] Thats why i am thinking there are heaters powered by GSE, perhaps the heaters are the same but take a larger power from GSE than the SM provides [15:31:15] hmm doesn't MNB feed AC though? [15:32:47] doesn't really matter, the heaters are directly powered by the FC [15:33:06] not directly or indirectly by MNB or AC1 or anything like that [15:36:28] In the config, AC powers them? [15:37:03] seems like it [15:37:15] yeah [15:38:29] so the heaters just need the power source changed I guess [15:38:40] probably [15:39:05] so, the power load is used for the thermal calculation of the fuel cell, am I understanding that right? [15:39:11] that's why the temps are now low? [15:40:44] Yeah [15:41:08] have to find that in the code [15:41:23] ah, in FCell::Reaction [15:42:02] so it will be kind of a self fullfilling prophecy [15:42:18] temps to low, heaters are switched on, that generates heat... [15:42:24] that doesn't quite seem right [15:43:31] ah, the heat is not directly the power load [15:43:33] of course not [15:43:39] double heat = (O2_flow + H2_flow) * 10000.0; [15:46:47] Also, it looks like the heaters are DC not AC? [15:47:46] yeah [15:48:07] when did you get the FC alarms? [15:48:15] I don't get them with the T-4h scenario [15:48:25] C/W is probably in ACK [15:49:03] nope [15:49:43] oh, with time acceleration [15:49:57] Yeah [15:50:00] about 10 minutes in [15:50:47] yep, now I get them [15:51:09] what is on FC2 at that time? I get basically no flow on 1 and 3, but some on 2 [15:53:11] FC2 is on Main A [15:53:44] But what is weird is I have AC on both buses [15:54:08] What is powering Main B [15:54:58] the main buses should get power from GSE [15:55:04] that is done in the DC Bus Controllers [15:55:11] switched to onboard at T-15min [15:56:57] I believ those should power the FC heaters as well [15:57:32] and I get the FC lights even with when I directly wire those heaters to the FCs [15:57:54] Code probably interferes [16:07:13] don't think so [16:07:23] now I am confused how this works [16:07:41] if the temperature is too low, then the heater should turn on [16:07:50] causing the 160W power load, same as before [16:08:16] so heater on and also 160W [16:08:29] I also slightly lowered the heating limit though [16:08:32] so maybe it's just that [16:09:54] The rad temp is different than the fuel cell temp though isnt it? [16:10:41] yeah its the fuel cell rad temp talkback that changes when the FC lights come on [16:10:50] yep [16:11:09] of course previously there was the 160W power load in addition to the 100W heater [16:13:23] maybe try setting the heater temporarily to 260? [16:13:25] I have never looked into the COOLING functions [16:13:41] I'll try reverting the more accurate temp limit for the heater [16:13:51] COOLING is using the old number, 470K [16:14:08] maybe that's all that is causing this [16:14:24] Random GSE note, there is a GSE connection to the tank heaters as well [16:14:39] oh, where? [16:14:47] Systems Handbook? [16:14:48] I am in CSM114 sys handbook [16:14:55] pdf page 57 [16:14:56] same [16:15:06] look at the control assembly [16:15:24] And I believe all heaters are DC [16:15:34] including the fuel cells [16:15:53] different set of heaters though [16:15:57] Yes [16:16:02] But I am betting its similar [16:16:15] I know I saw a GSE connection last night, just struggling to find it [16:16:28] I was laptop shopping and looking at schematics so I wasnt 100% focused [16:16:59] good job finding it again though [16:17:03] so what do we do [16:17:34] So are the 160W heaters turning on? [16:17:36] the inline heaters are just for heating the H2 supply to the FC [16:17:43] I'll check [16:18:04] these 18.6W are heating the tanks [16:20:07] Where is that [16:20:11] And which tanks [16:20:37] O2 and H2 [16:20:51] H2 is 18.6W, O2 is 50W [16:21:14] or maybe 3x50 [16:21:42] is that the case for pre 13 missions? [16:21:55] good question [16:21:55] I see there are 2 heaters in the O2 tanks on CSM114 [16:21:59] 50W and 100W [16:22:19] We need to be careful using this handbook [16:22:25] indeed [16:22:35] I imagine all the fuel cell stuff is the same [16:22:40] heaters are not on [16:22:46] What is the FC temp [16:22:52] And also the rad temp as well [16:23:46] The FC temps looked just under 400 which is good [16:23:54] But the rads were low [16:24:08] They dont work like regular radiators I dont think, they use the cooling class [16:25:09] inline heaters are switchting on at 385°F, off at 390°F [16:25:33] but why is the reduced power load affecting the cooling class? [16:25:37] have to check that code [16:26:02] where is FC rad temp displayed? [16:29:50] Its not displayed anywhere in the CM [16:29:58] It just turns on a TB [16:30:16] I see [16:34:56] Umm if I am reading this right FC rad temp low doesnt light a CW light [16:35:53] Also that tb comes on if the rad temp is below -30 [16:36:29] At least for CSM114 [16:36:52] same for us [16:37:36] So what is lighting the CW [16:39:04] the rad temperature [16:39:23] might need to be removed then [16:40:10] stupid question... maybe the rad temp being low is actually normal and that stage? [16:40:24] if the caution lights aren't supposed to come on... [16:43:13] don't think so [16:43:27] Yeah -30 is really low [16:43:32] That should be the TB limit [16:47:39] so the situation we have is that the fuel cell temperature is fine, but the connected radiators are cooling too much? [16:50:17] I dont think I understand how the FC cooling really works in the code [16:51:18] The coolant temp is supposed to start at 300 [16:51:25] how does it drop that low so fast [16:52:07] Oh it was CSM104 I saw the GSE by the fuel cells [16:52:20] pdf 83 [16:53:04] the temperature of the cooling is calculated with the average of the connected radiators [16:53:50] maybe it's a night/day thing again [16:54:28] there also is an isolation factor we could play with [16:54:46] after all, if the radiators are cooling down a lot, the FCs should as well [16:56:00] rcflyinghokie, on that PDF page I just see that the SM main buses are getting power from GSE [16:56:43] Yeah, I dont see a direct connection [16:56:43] we don't simulate those DC buses, I think, but it's basically the same as GSE power to the Main DC Bus Controllers [16:57:05] It caught my eye last night but probably not used after FC startup [16:57:17] GSE does heat and provide the FC startup [16:57:25] But our cells are already started when we load [16:57:38] where do you see that it is heating the FCs? [17:01:33] Just from reading the FC startup and also there is a small part in CSM114 let me find it [17:01:56] what also confuses me a bit is that our FCs are thermal objects, but their energy or anything like that isn't saved and loaded from the scenario [17:01:59] CSm114 p 58 [17:02:11] GSE power for the N2 start valve [17:02:19] oh wait, Temp is saved [17:02:20] Not seeing the heater though [17:02:37] yeah, the start equipment is GSE [17:03:20] I'll check the temps after 10 or 15 minutes [17:05:07] 470.0109, 473.8265 and 470.0136K [17:05:17] the three FCs, with FC2 having some load [17:05:32] That is right at the heater limit, which is good for no load [17:05:57] Now what about the cooling [17:06:11] 256.599681, 226.779532, 223.670644, 226.480966K are the radiators [17:06:39] -30°F is 238.7K [17:06:45] Yet the temperature switch on the cooling is also 470 [17:06:59] lower limit [17:07:03] Where is it getting that temperature [17:07:10] H2/O2? [17:07:41] the radiators? [17:08:14] cooling is starting at 470K and being throttled basically [17:08:35] So below 470 it shouldnt cool [17:08:49] well, it still is a normal radiator [17:08:54] getting heat from the sun etc. [17:09:07] Just odd that it goes that low [17:11:29] radiator isolation is manipulted in GSE prelaunch code [17:12:57] I am wondering after removing that constant power if the radiators/cooling is too powerful [17:13:16] I could try to reduce that prelaunch isolation [17:13:28] which is done because of "// Reduce fuel cell cooling power because of low fuel cell load" [17:13:40] Yeah thats where I am [17:13:50] But also during a mission the FC's stay much cooler [17:13:55] very bottom of the green band [17:14:06] right [17:14:22] 4 radiators with lengths 10 seems a lot [17:14:39] But for 480W of extra constant power it was probably needed [17:15:39] CSM Data Book might have some hard numbers for this [17:24:27] Downloading a few now [17:24:31] Back in a bit [17:25:32] indy91, was curious about something. I just tried an LOI-5 flyby abort with Apollo 12, using the SPS. Worked very well [17:26:16] Is the LM configured to be bale to do it as well? More specifically, is the non-impulse TIG configured for the DPS for those maneuvers? [17:26:49] I'll check [17:27:37] did you use the TLMCC flyby targeting or the Return-to-Earth page? [17:27:48] return to earth [17:27:51] ok [17:27:54] fly-by [17:29:47] looks like it should be possible to be calculated for the LM [17:29:52] including a docked burn [17:30:25] there always is some special code necessary for the different options, CSM, LM, docked, controlled from either side. But almost all calculation types should support that [17:30:42] rcflyinghokie, what is FUELCELLRADIATOR4? [17:31:07] are there even 4? [17:33:07] so the Apollo 13 free-return maneuver is possible now [17:33:09] they point into all 4 directions from the CSM [17:33:16] yes, should be [17:33:42] might be a nice incentive to test the new presettings [17:33:59] I haven't added lunar impact burn support for the MFDs yet [17:34:23] DCS and LVDC support it already though, so most of the work for that is done [17:35:45] I guess it needs some sort of impact burn DV targets? [17:36:02] will be basically like TLMCC option 1 [17:36:37] just needs the transformation into the format that the LVDC needs [17:36:43] pitch and yaw in LVLH coordinates [17:36:47] TIG in TB8 time [17:36:52] burn duration [17:37:12] although I have to check if the TIG in TB8 time is even right [17:37:18] might be time from GRR [17:44:00] gotta go! later [18:23:50] Back [18:24:05] Looks like the FC radiators have different segments [18:24:16] Let me pull up the schematic [18:25:55] Looks like 8 sections [18:26:10] 5 main radiators and 3 more on the bypass [18:26:20] For each cell [18:40:18] morning! [18:41:48] Hey there [18:45:32] what's up? [18:54:52] We figured out why we were running out of H2 on longer missions [18:57:57] nice! [18:58:01] :D [19:00:49] Apparently they were drawing a constant 160W per cell continuously [19:02:42] for... reasons? [19:03:10] Well it appears it was a way to keep the fuel cells "running" with no CSM bus load like for launch [19:03:19] It was the "in line heater" [19:03:38] However they arent constantly on like it was coded to be, and there were already heaters in the config [19:04:19] ouch [19:04:32] hey Mike [19:04:34] o/ [19:04:41] yeah, with the 4th radiator segment there was a bug [19:04:54] its isolation was not changed for GSE conditions like the other ones [19:05:07] Ah [19:05:18] Did that fix the temps? [19:05:20] and if I make that number lower for all 4 radiators than its not cooling as much [19:05:41] Not cooling as much is probably good since that load is removed [19:05:59] yeah [19:06:06] it's still getting cooler though [19:06:16] Radiators length probably too long [19:06:23] not sure the temperature of the environment is considered for this [19:06:38] I honestly am having a hard time deciphering the cooling class [19:06:48] I get radiators but cooling seems weird [19:07:25] I think it's basically a bunch of radiators bundled together to one thermal system [19:07:48] With a pump [19:08:14] So do the bypass switches do anything? [19:08:15] more like a heat exchanger [19:08:40] yes [19:08:49] cooling has the bypass capability [19:10:24] so, on the pad, with GSE running most of the show, the prelaunch procedures expect 0.01-0.05 lb/hr H2 flow and 0.1-0.4 lb/hr O2 flow [19:10:36] let me check how many watts that is roughly [19:11:26] that would be 4-5 amps [19:11:44] which is pretty close to the 160W [19:11:55] for each FC [19:12:14] I wonder, do the not simulate some of the power draw on the launchpad? [19:12:20] or would the heaters run constantly? [19:12:32] one number I can also adjust is the isolation between the FC and the radiators [19:13:06] Hmm well the 160W on the pad is the fuel cells powering the heaters directly to maintain temperature [19:13:33] I wonder if those heaters should just be always on while on GSE [19:13:42] And then temperature controlled after? [19:15:14] doesn't look like there is anything to do that in the electronics [19:15:19] it's auto or off [19:15:30] I'll mess with the COOLING isolation [19:15:54] that should also require the heaters to start up, because more heat is going to the radiators [19:16:03] Right [19:16:12] big potential for messing up previously fine tuned numbers [19:16:32] Well I am assuming those "fine tuned" numbers took the 160W x3 always on into account [19:16:35] some hacky GSE code might be better [19:16:44] we do that anyway [19:17:24] Something to make all 3 cells draw until the FC is put onto the spacecraft busses [19:17:40] I am curious why it starts with FC2 on MNA [19:17:47] the scenario? [19:17:51] All launches [19:18:02] right [19:18:21] AOH has the pre-backup crew ingress switch settings [19:20:39] Yeah there it is [19:20:47] we might have it wrong [19:20:56] it has FC1 and FC2 on MNA, FC3 on MNB [19:21:19] I am looking at the couch checks [19:21:31] FC MNA 1 and 3 off 2 on [19:21:39] FC MNB all off [19:21:42] hmm [19:22:02] at the very back of the AOH are the switch settings "prior to backup crew cabin ingress" [19:22:07] The position you mentioned is what is done before launch and I believe stays like that though out the mission [19:22:10] Oh [19:22:30] it also has at launch and powered down [19:23:47] couch checks are also pretty clear though [19:23:48] So maybe we have the wrong initial position but it is switched during the couch checks [19:25:57] if they are disconnected from the DC main buses, then they will only power the SM buses [19:28:20] What all is on those? I know the RCS is on that for SM sep [19:30:12] yeah, not much [19:30:33] I assume the FC heaters are? [19:30:50] no, the heaters are directly powered by the FC [19:30:57] not even from the SM buses [19:31:21] there are basically two outputs going from the the FC, to the SM bus and to the heater [19:32:24] So we need to move the FC heaters from the AC bus to direct connection from the FC? [19:33:08] yeah, I did that in my local copy earlier [19:33:23] Which reminds me my PR is still up if you want to take a look [19:33:39] yeah, I wanted to get this issue fixed before I merge it [19:33:45] Sure [19:33:52] with local changes in the config and all [19:34:30] Ok so we need the fuel cells running even though they arent connected to the bus [19:34:45] yep [19:34:52] and apparently they are powering something [19:34:56] They need a load [19:35:07] I cannot find a good description of that [19:35:33] I mean it is heating the H2 [19:35:40] that is the in line heater [19:37:55] yep [19:38:04] oxygen is also preheated [19:38:22] but not to the degree H2 is [19:42:46] I need a better description of pre launch fuel cell stuff [19:45:08] Hmm the operational data book says the max FC load is 1420W [19:45:31] Outrs are 1730? [19:45:33] Ours [19:47:36] Interesting, I have volumes for the fuel cell manifolds [19:48:08] This calculates how soon after a reactant valve closes that the FC will die and gives volumes trapped [19:53:33] I'll try having the heaters on until SC takes over power [19:54:57] although with the radiator isolation 1.0 instead of 3.0 the temperature stays above the -30°F it seems [19:55:15] but it would be good to have a load on the FCs, for the prelaunch checks [19:57:37] Right somethign above 5 amps [19:59:36] that will require cooling then [19:59:43] which is powered by the FC pumps [19:59:50] which should still be powered by the GSE [19:59:53] so no issue there [20:00:42] temperatures stay good [20:00:53] Good [20:05:54] FC2 flow rates are on the high side, but still ok [20:06:17] On the pad? [20:07:11] yes, according to the couch check numbers [20:07:35] hmm, but later after prime crew ingress more systems are activated [20:07:50] so the flow on FC2 becomes quite high [20:08:00] and I bet the temperature wouldn't be an issue anymore [20:08:09] because of the normal loads [20:09:16] FC2 is by itself for that long? [20:12:20] yeah, the normal FC/main bus config is only done prior to the TVC checks [20:12:24] so at about T-1h [20:13:00] I wonder if the heater turns off in that FC [20:13:28] probably should with a small load [20:13:49] ok, different approach [20:13:54] simple solution for now [20:14:09] previously we had: [20:14:14] power_load += 160.0; [20:14:19] and my new idea is: [20:14:26] if (power_load < 160.0) [20:14:28] power_load += 160.0; [20:15:00] or [20:15:01] if (power_load < 160.0) [20:15:01] power_load = 160.0; [20:15:16] at least as an intermediate step [20:15:23] I really don't want to work on this small issue all day [20:16:08] do we ever get as low as 160W during normal operation? [20:17:11] no, nowhere near that [20:19:09] No [20:19:20] But those 160's always on added to the loads was the problem [20:19:24] But you know that [20:19:28] yeah [20:19:52] but with the "if (power_load < 160.0)" we will never add the 160W during normal operations [20:20:08] only if the power load is basically idle [20:20:09] As long as the FC's dont carry that all the time and work normally (within reason) I say just use that and it can be cleaned up later (next release) [20:20:18] which is never the case after liftoff [20:20:27] The only thing I would worry about though is apollo 13 [20:20:52] didn't they shut down the FCs properly? [20:21:17] Technically "yes" but their o2 reactant valves closed from the explosion [20:21:25] So they did the right procedure [20:21:45] But that 160 extra after powerdown could cause problems [20:22:05] Any way to just use that case until switchover to internal power [20:22:12] Then not use it [20:23:31] that power load is irrelevant if the FC is not fully running [20:24:06] Actually it decreases the amount of time the fuel cells stay on after reactant shut down [20:24:12] ah [20:24:17] yeah, just thought about that case [20:24:40] I know its a special case [20:24:55] But if anyone messes with emergency procedures it will have a negative effect [20:25:29] Maybe use SATSYSTEMS_READYTOLAUNCH [20:25:35] To stop that condition? [20:25:58] SATSYSTEMS_GSECONNECTED_1 rather [20:26:08] Ah is that where it switches over [20:26:22] that's also where the FC radiator isolation is changed [20:26:33] Then yeah putting it there would be smart [20:26:45] Keeps the changes together as well [20:27:15] And you can remove that line from the fuel cell I suppose if its changed there [20:29:18] hmm, if only it was so simple [20:30:09] nothing to call and change powerload from the fuel cell class? [20:30:32] yes, that is possible, but I don't like it much. Too messy. [20:30:51] I also would need to add that as a saved parameter probably [20:31:03] Ah yeah [20:31:05] which breaks all old scenarios [20:31:32] hmm [20:31:36] one more trick idea [20:31:40] always have the cooling enabled [20:31:52] that should keep the radiator temperature up [20:32:07] Isnt cooling enabled the pumps? [20:32:15] FC pumps [20:32:58] yeah, but it has a temperature range [20:33:34] radiator and FC are disconnected from each other below the temperature at which the heaters kick in [20:34:44] So as long as the pump switch is on/powered the cooling will be enabled [20:35:33] yeah, it can be set to auto/on/off, like most things [20:36:47] the behavior is basically like this: not much is heating up the FCs, so it stays at the temp between heating and cooling [20:36:58] cooling is probably getting a little bit of heat occasionally [20:37:01] but barely anything [20:37:13] so the radiator temperatures drop quite a bit below FC temperature [20:37:35] But not below -30 [20:37:39] F [20:37:49] yes it does and it's causing the alarm [20:37:57] Ah damn [20:38:15] I meant to explain the behavior right now, the commited version [20:38:20] not anything I am working on [20:38:41] Ohh [20:38:44] Gotcha [20:39:37] there doesn't seem to be much thermal calculation going on in the FCs [20:39:41] just the own heat [20:39:48] not sun or anything like that [20:40:09] so the cooling is making the temperature approach exactly 470K [20:40:16] without any fluctuations [20:40:21] at least in FC1 and 3 [20:40:30] Interesting that the FC's are looking for vapor mass as well [20:40:37] 2 has a small load and a little hotter [20:40:44] Yet they are being fed liquids in our configuration [20:43:14] cooling the FCs might overpower the heaters [20:45:00] So they fight one another? [20:45:02] and the cooling itself also draws power [20:45:06] not a good solution [20:45:39] Nope [20:45:57] the pumps are always running though I think [20:46:01] Or are supposed to be [20:46:06] yeah [20:46:18] during normal operation you always have cooling [20:47:24] Another note I have sec glycol up to 265 lb/hr [20:47:30] Still stable [20:47:37] Trying to hit 300 [20:47:53] So the cooling is too much [20:51:21] Data Book has a inline heater duty cycle figure [20:51:26] for vacuum conditions though [20:52:02] Yeah i saw that [20:52:22] Also had something about the rad temp differences in atmosphere [20:58:00] so, before I changed the power load today, we always had the 160W added, right? [20:58:03] even for Apollo 13? [20:58:20] Yeah [20:58:33] so I am not making things worse when I changed that to a lower limit of 160W [20:58:43] I am just not making Apollo 13 any better :D [20:58:50] change* [20:59:01] then I'll do that for now [20:59:04] Yeah exactly [20:59:12] Just make a comment or something [20:59:20] That it will need to be addressed later [20:59:24] will do [20:59:45] glycol is at 274 lb/hr [20:59:50] getting close! [21:00:04] And the valves are small believe it or not [21:00:54] Once I have the flow I will make more adjustments to check heat transfer and do a final high speed test [21:01:01] And then apply it to the primary loop [21:02:23] how do you manage to get high flow with small valves? [21:02:45] PR is merged [21:03:25] PR is merged locally [21:03:36] my update is pushed [21:04:36] Haha small mass small volume [21:05:22] And slowly working changes and flows between tanks [21:05:29] Its been painstakingly slow [21:05:31] But working [21:06:28] 278 lb/hr and still have proper accumulator and pump pressure [21:07:00] I just hope the size still allows heat transfer [21:12:32] yeah, that would be great [21:13:40] I'll find out really quick after I get this flow up [21:14:47] where was I a few hours ago? [21:14:53] Ah right, Apollo 17 LVDC presettings [21:15:17] look, a distraction! [21:16:18] only a flow Apollo 11 checklist could distract me now! [21:16:20] flown* [21:16:58] I am still hoping that moves forward [21:17:09] I have not heard back, unfortunately [21:20:42] man speaking of which [21:21:01] I visited AGC 200M again yesterday to try to see if it had any markings that indicated which pin on the main connector was pin 1 [21:21:27] unfortunately not, but I noticed some other things about it... including that it doesn't have the top cover on the B tray [21:21:46] so the wiring for the top backplane is exposed, although it's kinda up against a wall [21:22:05] as far as I know there exists zero pictures of that backplane [21:22:13] I might try to get them to let me just photograph it [21:22:57] I'm not sure how researching items on exhibit works though [21:24:38] yeah thats my potential road block [21:25:58] yeah :/ [21:31:59] Apollo 17 TLI parameters are calculated. Just not for the nominal liftoff time unfortunately [21:33:53] woo 298 lb/hr [21:34:26] you did it! [21:35:41] accumulator is 6.92psi and the pump is 21.15 [21:35:55] normal accumulator is 6.7-7.7 and pump is 21psi [21:37:40] that looks right to me, haha [21:38:54] I am trying to get a touch better [21:45:42] Ok thats as close as I will get now to test cooling [21:48:45] DC_A FUELCELL1 [21:48:46] DC_B FUELCELL2 [21:48:46] AC_1 115.0 FUELCELL1 [21:48:47] AC_2 115.0 FUELCELL3 [21:48:50] Is this stuff changed in code? [21:48:54] Just seems weird [21:52:12] well for the DC buses we have the DC bus controllers [21:52:21] so that is a lot of stuff done in code [21:52:29] I guess for the inverters it is the same [21:54:05] Just looks weird to initialize fuel cells on the busses like that [21:57:47] yeah [21:57:49] night
