Chris, congrats on the new job, having been unemployed for four straight years once, I know how maddening it is.
This is actually good news. It means the lining of the colon was inflamed thanks to the diverticulitis, and that there is no sign of pre-cancer (dysplasia) or cancerous cells (malignancy) in the section that was removed. -itis is usually an inflammatory disease of the part that precedes itis (tonsillitis for example)
Congrats Chris, that sounds exciting. This old dog hasn't written a line of code for 8+ years. Management can be not fun. One can tweak code and eventually find the bug and fix it. But some people, goodness there's no way to get people to listen if they don't want to

You're not the only "old dog", last month I started a new job after almost 9 months of unemployment.
I'm now official a software developer again after 25 years of management. Things have changed "a little".
A question regarding Dandelion?
Just chipped 28mm f/2.8 AI-S with D500 and nothing has changed with regards to Z 6. The camera still treats the lens as if there is no chip. D500 shows successful programming, as in I can now control aperture with the dial.
A few observations:
1. On D500 I can change the aperture with front dial after programming the lens. And there are 2 behaviors >
>>>> 1.a: If I program the chip only till 3rd step that is "inputting minimum aperture" of the said lens, then
D500 does not show "EE" on top LCD even if I am not on minimum aperture. I can change
aperture from the camera dial.
>>>>1.b: If I program the chip till step 4 which is "aperture control" then I get "EE" on top LCD and I
have to set aperture dial of the lens to its minimum a-la AF-D lenses and then control aperture
from front dial. If my aperture ring is anywhere but minimum, I cannot change aperture from
the dial and it continues to show EE.
>>>>1.C: As I understand, programming aperture control is not necessary for AI-S lenses and is recommended only
for pre-AI lenses that have been AI'd or original AI lenses. This theory checks out with D500 because if I do not
perform the particular step of aperture control, I don't get EE. (I did that only to see if it makes any difference on Z 6. It
doesn't).
2. Regardless of 1a. or 1b. Z 6 refuses to read data from chip and acts dumb.
What exactly is missing? I feel like I am pretty close but can't figure out. Have reset the chip 2-3 times already.
Newly hatched spiders about the size of a pin head on a jade plant that had overwintered in my living room. After moving it out into the sun the spider eggs hatched today. I hadn't noticed them throughout the winter. I'm sure glad they didn't hatch indoors. It gives me a bad case of arachnophobia just thinking about it.

Without thinking about it much (just read your post), perhaps the dandelion pins are not contacting the FTZ contact points (different tolerance maybe). Do you have another CPU'd lens (factory Nikon) that you use with your FTZ to verify the FTZ is working properly? I have 4 lenses with Dandelion chips and they work fine with the FTZ.
If the Dandelion cpu is making electrical contact with the FTZ you should be getting something, even if it was fEE code.

I do have other CPU'd lenses and they are working fine. Just tried Sigma 105mm DG HSM and Nikon 50mm G AF-S. I don't have other Dandelion-chipped lenses but this was my first thought too.
What is throwing me off is that it works perfect on D500 but not even fEE on the Z. I could get one more Dandelion and chip another lens.. but this is bummer.
EDIT: I did something cringeworthy to test it but looks like contacts could be an issue, not 100% sure. I put mark on one of the contacts of Dandelion with a red ballpoint pen and mounted the lens on FTZ. Then I checked if chip actually made contact with FTZ. The tiny little red mark was right on the inner edge of one of the metal contacts of FTZ. Not in the middle.

Alignment of the chip may be off just a touch. Do you have the white alignment jig for the Dandelion chip?
. Congrats to your daughter!
