Blog from August, 2016

10:20  The battery was changed at the tall tower. The old battery was reading 12.2v.
           The new battery was at 13.2v.  Hopefully tomorrow we will have the solar charging
           system running.

 

TRH issues at 9, 10

The TRH at station 9 has gone down. Powering down and up did not help.
Station 10 TRH also has a problem. It is reporting very low fan current. Also tried
cycling power with no improvement.

update @ 1:27:     The TRH at 10 has recovered. We will monitor it

Daily Status - 8/31
  • 8/31/16

Summary:

No winds this morning. Notice no pressure coming in from s3 and s15. The xml config needs to be updated.
No data from Rad/Soil system at 15. This may be a USB issue. 

Actions past 24 hours:

  • replace battery at tall tower
  • started shooting boom angles on tall tower, will finish today

To dos:

  • replace battery at tall tower
  • work on data displays (this will be a daily task for the next week)
  • finish shooting tall tower booms
  • possible trip to station 15 to deal with Rad/Soil

Sensor status:

Battery: Gary says he needs to do some configuration work and we are short some cables, sites 2,3,4,and 14

Short outage in s4

As part of debugging CSAT3 issues for Perdigao, I logged in to s4 and ddn/dup for about a minute, so that I could use minicom to talk to its CSAT3.  Hopefully, everything is back up now.

 

Battery change at tower

  • installation of tall tower, network connection to tower is acting up
  • no solar charger/power monitor at tall tower, replacement on its way from Boulder

To dos:

  • replace battery at tall tower
  • work on data displays
  • shoot tall tower booms

Sensor status:

T/RH:  ok
P: need to confirm locations, s1 is ok. Not sure about sensors at  s3 and s15 need to check config
2D Gill: ok

Battery: Gary says he needs to do some configuration work 

A set of soil probes were installed at site 15, near NR01 #2.
The soil was still wet but not under water. The roots of the grass did make install difficult.

Sensor Serial numbers:
Tsoil - 5 (BD 5)
HFT - H103636 (BD 5)
Qsoil - 20 (BD 20)
TP01 - 200241 (BD 7) 

Tall Tower Installed

The tall tower was completed today. The sonic heights are 10, 25, 33, 41.8, 49 meters. We still need to shoot the boom angles to correct the sonic direction.

 

S7 and S10 Site Visits

Kurt, Steve, and I visited s7 and added an external cell antenna with a small piece of angle iron as the ground plane.  It actually came back online just as we got there, before we attached the antenna.  I logged into the DSM with the Acer and browsed to the cell modem web interface, but I was unable to check the signal level before and after attaching the antenna because the left mouse button on the touchpad is broken.  We at least verified it came up after plugging the modem back in.

We visited S10 and attached a cell antenna there also. Kurt powered it down briefly to adjust some wiring.  Then we verified that Internet and data stats were working.  The antenna cable at S10 has exposed wire, so it needs to be wrapped with some black tape at some point.  Right now the bad spots are coiled up and ready to be sealed in tape.

Steve did most of the boat operation and more of the navigating, as Kurt tries to teach us the lay of the marsh.  We went the long way both in and out.  We boated passed S3, but the stake says S1, so that needs to be fixed.

Steve and I have many of the sites marked on our phones, but since google maps does not show all the channels that are needed to get to all the sites, I would like to find an accurate paper navigation chart or topo map.  Also I bet there are better phone apps for charting waterways, but I haven't looked.

The cell antenna ground planes are just small pieces of iron scrounged up in the trailer.  We also considered using the metal bookends.  If any other sites have trouble connecting, it might be worth buying small pieces of sheet metal to give the antennas a proper ground plane, but I'm not an RF engineer so I'm just guessing. (smile)  A few other sites already have antennas that were mounted without ground planes.

Task list:

  • Cover exposed antenna wire at S10 with black tape.
  • Buy a small mouse to use with the Acer since the mouse button doesn't work.
  • Buy a navigation chart for the marsh and research waterway phone apps.
  • Consider getting "proper" ground planes for the sites that already have antennas.
  • Fix the stake label at S3.
Quickie status #2

Here, I'm just checking that signals are coming in. I'm also rserialing into each port to see generally that things are okay (but not <really> looking at numbers).

I do notice the many stations that do not yet have power monitors connected (no ttyS1 data).

s11, s12 power motes have a different output than others (extra fields).  Perhaps this is known...

I also looking at files and file sizes.  I note that the usbdisk on s4 is now at 19%.  s11 was at 32%, but there was almost a month of July test data.  I just deleted these files.  s12 also had old files and deleting them changed usbdisk from 31% to 8%.  s13 and s14 also had July files that I removed.  s2 and s4 have some July files that I haven't yet bothered to remove.

To check s15 mote data, I manually installed mote_dump into /opt/nidas/scripts, since it appeared to have been omitted.  It isn't needed on the other dsms.

Site 12 reboot

In randomly looking at site 12, I noticed that the CSAT wasn't coming in.  I tried cycling power with eio 5 0/1 and even a ddn/dup, to no avail.  I wondered if the Gill, still wired to port 4, could generate enough spurious interrupts to cause data from port 5 to stop.  Thus, I changed the vertex.xml to look for Gill data on port 6 (like we did on station 8) and then rebooted the entire station.  It came back up and now the CSAT is there.  I don't know how long it had been down – clearly it was up when I did my "Quickie status" on Saturday.

Status, Aug 21

From Kurt:

We now have 10 stations installed, 5 to go.  Weather has been a bit more forgiving, and I hope to have all done by Thursday.

We have a slight problem with the cataraft engine - the fuel line started leaking yesterday, and with a field fix we were able to continue, but I will need some new parts on Monday.

Quickie status

Just grabbed and plotted 8 hours of data from today to start looking at things.  Got data from stations 2,3,4,9,10,12,13.  (Only a partial file from 12, since it apparently was restarted in the middle of the day.)

In general, everything looked okay (see below).  I looked at the variables: spd, dir, w, tc.5m (should be changed to .3m), T, RH.2m, Spd, Dir.10m.  The only issue was that birds definitely interfere with the Gill at stations 10 & 13 – perhaps at 2 as well.  I entered the boom directions for the csats, but not the gills, so I see the Gill at s4 different (but close to correct with respect to north) from the others by about 180 deg, which is expected.

I also note that the vertical velocities are quite small and don't vary, indicating both that the set-up crew did a great job of leveling the towers and that a turbine wake is not visible (expected since the winds were generally from the wrong direction).

HOWEVER, the Gill at s12 is bad.  When I rserial to it, I get binary gibberish.  I have now checked (using minicom) that this isn't a baud rate issue.  I've also verified that "tp4" shows the same settings (120ohm termination, normal slew) as for s13, which is working.  (I also played with these settings and didn't noticably change the signal.)  I conclude that this is not a problem with DSM settings, but a cabling issue or something in the Gill itself.

 

 

Site Internet Update

Sites 4, 9, 10, and 13 online, but 11, 12, and 14 offline

I just talked with John. They setup 4 and 14 today, but 14 never came online.  Both 14 and 11 are Vipers, so John wonders if that's part of the problem.  John said he had poor cell coverage for his third-party cell phone, but Matt has Verizon and his signal was adequate.  It seems unlikely that this is a signal strength problem.  Both 11 and 14 had some trouble during the outside testing, as noted in JIRA issues ISFS-99 and ISFS-103.

Site 12 went offline today around 11:13 am MDT, and at the moment it has not come back.  Site 12 is a Titan.

Possible Workarounds

Maybe we'll have to implement something to restart the cell modem interface if it appears to be down...  However, in the meanwhile, here are a couple things to try.  The first is to unplug the USB modem and then plug it back in.  The second achieves something similar but without unplugging anything, and it has worked once before.  Log into the DSM and enter these commands:

sudo su
ifdown eth1
rmmod cdc_ether
rmmod usbnet
modprobe cdc_ether
exit

Finally, John will check on the space on the media disk on each DSM.  Probably there is plenty of space, but we don't need any of the pre-project data, and we should make sure to give ourselves as much time as possible to record offline until we can visit the site and get the Internet connection up.
