Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Lisa/M v2 +Aspirin IMU loss

[Balázs GÁTI]

Hi,

thank you for the ideas! I don't think that the sunlight caused the 
phenomena, because the hardware never was exposed to direct sunlight 
(8/8 cloud coverage) and in addition our Aspirin IMU is placed directly 
on the bottom side of the Lisa module.

I would be eased if somebody could report similar experience by high 
sun activity, because on Sept. 12th, a CME hit Earth's magnetic field, 
igniting the most intense geomagnetic storm of the year. 
(spaceweather.com)

If no similar feedback, then we should conduct further detailed 
analysis to find the ghost hidden in the system. :)

Regards,
Balazs
