Kyle and Dave were able to get all the canbus optics for ISAC test stand re-configured except one device: TMS:Q2

"We investigated and it looks like the controller board for the TMS:Q2 supply is toast. Unfortunately these boards are a very old style so we don't have a surplus of replacements on hand. Our electronics shop did have some spares but the spares are not ready for use and need to have a few components soldered on. " - Kyle

The repaired controller board should be ready for next week.
