Subject: FROSTI Wiring 

Upon finishing the FROSTI assembly last week, we ran into some electrical issues. An electrical short was found between two of the d-sub pins (2 and 8). It appears that the pins were somehow coming into contact with the aluminum surrounding them. This was causing the power supply to trip. The issue was seemingly fixed by adjusting the positioning of the cabling leading out of the reflector. When handling the device in the future, please make sure to keep the wiring as undisturbed as possible. The setup is rather fragile, and moving the cabling around could potentially reintroduce a short like this.
