Continuing from 90581 (Notes are stored here).Today we completed all of the inside optical fiber install, Got our first light out of SPI, Managed to send it from one ham table and back again.  As well as align the reference interferometer to produce a beat note with decent efficiency (~75%).

We also connected the HAM2 wiring from HAM2 feedthrough to TIA to CDS system.

In order we did:
