Packing:
- Still need to take soil cores: bring oven/scales/soil install kit (buy a second oven and scales for trailer?)
- Replace gas can (cheapo Walmart can's spout broke)
Sensors:
- two serializers became noisy. Need to replace or get rid of.
- Rsw.in.flr died for a while?
- Vpile.off apparently has -1 LSB = -31uV. .xml limits should allow this.
- One TRH fan wired backwards. Need to check past data from this sensor and double-check all fans.
- One TRH had 0.1C bias. Pretty good for all this stuff.
- SPN1 isn't perfect. Sent note to manufacturer. They think it would be useful to run as a serial sensor and have the option for "TEST" mode.
- Qsoil response not normal in this soil. Need manual calibration. What should the strategy be here? I actually liked having a test plot near the base. In any case, soil quite dry during most IOPs.
- You can see core sampling in the Qsoil data! The data jump a bit due to nearby vibration while pounding in the core.
- shorter studs on CSAT electronics boxes; suggest using lock nuts (like TRAM) instead of nylocks.
Power:
- ISS was happy with the solar trailer
- Still don't understand mote diodes. Having a diode between charger board and battery caused failures. Had no failures with diode removed. Considering charge controller redesign.
Mote:
- Spare mote 15 wouldn't come up plugged in to console cable. (Something I've done wrong?) Labeled.
- Power motes feed power into DSM interface panel. Something should be changed.
DSM:
- One unexplained failure at flr. Seems to be related to 75mph gust at rim (though etherant later connected).
Computer:
- Netgear WiFi needed to be reset many times. Changing channel and orientation helped, but still needed at least daily resets. Toss?
- APS UPS battery dead.
- Trailer AC (and even using vacuum cleaner) caused computer issues -- everyone complained that it was warm during the late afternoon.
- would have been nice to have check_usb.sh/check_ap24.sh feed a Nagios display.
- Need to change cockpit RIP color from background!
- Can we force a browser to auto-reload plots? (found cache killer, but doesn't seem to work)
- xchat was good to have, though died when 4G went out (can/should we configure a local host as the chat server?)
- Could/should we have set up 4G failure to fall-back to HughesNet?
- R is great! Needs more work (derived; stns=0)
Infrastructure:
- Bird diverters fell off
- Bigger holes in soil/pressure base plates for T-stakes
- How to keep kinks out of hauling line? (Had same issues using Jack's frame during xHATS.)
- Need more Bulgin cable splices. (Could these be printed?)
- New bolts/nuts for newer guy attachment brackets
- Check all cables from near (data, network, power).
Tear-down issues:
- unconnected serial cable to 20m.near is bad
- unconnected RJ45 cable on rim is bad.
- let's get GPS positions for flr rad stand and soils
- blown fuse on base ttyS10(?) caused by plugging in bad mote cable. (Cable labeled.)
