Follow the instructions on the [https://topswiki.saao.ac.za/index.php/SHOC SHOC wiki] and note the [[#SHOC on Lesedi vs. other SAAO telescopes|Lesedi-specific SHOC info]] further down this page.
 
=== LCU start-up ===
 
There is a local control unit (LCU) that monitors the weather and the connection of the remote user, which can shutdown the facility if the connection is lost for a certain length of time, or the weather reaches the operational limits. The LCU will be incorporated into the TCS browser, but for now we need to run it in a terminal using the following commands:
ssh lcutest@10.2.100.92
cd programming/lesedi-lcu/lcu/
. ~/.pyenv/lcuenv/bin/activate
python lcu.py
 
Keep the terminal visible at all times. It will issue a 60 second warning before commencing a shutdown in the case of bad weather, and if you don't want to shutdown (e.g. if it has misjudged the weather), you can Ctrl-C to exit the LCU (and hence not shutdown).
