Gary asked about site locations, to use for Ubiquiti link feasibility (airlink (old) or link (new)), so this is a start:

A map that Dan has created is available here.

After talking with Gary/Isabel, I've created a shared link to an entire network design.  (Updated 11/3/21, with close to final positions.  LC and PC would need to point to DCS, others to PRS.)

  • add DSM PRST (needs holes drilled for cell clamps into fender)
  • install sensors on TT
  • add power stuff to job box (connect to AC); make Y cable to separately power DCST and DCSR+DCSG DSMs
  • connect all heater and fan power cables
  • install CS125 5' to SSE of Ott
  • add V2.7 mote to CVF4-housed radiometers on UU darkhorse; plug it into an unused DSM PRSG port (will require a longish bulgin cable); configure this port (spo can configure)
  • connect other 3 V2.7 motes on UU darkhorse to DSM ports designated as 2compL – 2 on PRST and 1 on PRSG (order doesn't matter yet)
  • Check that all motes are switched on inside the box.  Also check that mp=0 (wisard format) – spo can do this over the network.
  • add caps to unused mote ports (LOTS are in the DSM kit)
  • update software
  • sheath cables on the ground
  • cut south TT footpads to 1/4 size (2'x2')
  • erect tower!

  • waiting for utility power – expected 12/20
  • dry out radiometer dessicant and replace
  • add power stuff to job box (connect to AC); make Y cable to separately power DCST and DCSR+DCSG DSMs
  • connect all heater and fan power cables
  • reseat Rsw.out fan housing (DONE)
  • add radiometer logger data cable (did, but doesn't work – check continuity of D9 pin 2)
  • move NR01 to Manfrotto (don't think this is needed at prs)
  • level Rsw.in Swartz
  • TRH.1m and TRH.3m fan not working
  • TRH.17m Rfan is oddly high
  • add caps to unused mote ports
  • update software
  • sheath cables on the ground
  • erect tower!
  • Connect batteries
  • Relay board power cube
  • USB extender
  • Terminate 12v fan and heater on dark horse
  • Cclamp
  • Fix and affix fence
  • Ground trailer tower
  • Investigate relay board communication problems (maybe this is just because of the power cube)

    Running the old airlink between a Rocket5AC and nanobeam5AC, every site can see dcs, except that lc, cc, and dc need to have 6-7m towers to get a clear Fresnel zone.

    Steve - has site 'ss' been renamed to 'sp' for South Pivot? Then the cal file directory and other entries would need to be updated. 

    1. Steve Oncley

      Yes.
