Chris and Antonio will write a bunch more about their site visit this morning, but I thought it good to write what I've done for the (mobile) Tsnows.
These Tsnows were intended to be deployed at ue, but weren't to avoid interference with the FlowCapt sensor. The intent is to have this set (3 popsicle sticks with 4each thermistors) connected to a mote that could be manually installed into the snowpack at places of interest. I have created a mote with a set of AA batteries inside for power and a Bluetooth module to send the data. Thus, this box is self-contained. Note that the users will have to open the box, turn on the power and then press the white button twice to enable the Bluetooth module.
On the other side, Chris and Antonio today attached another white box to cl. This box just has a Bluetooth module on a small PCB with an FTDI chip to convert to USB. This USB device appears to be /dev/ttyUSB1. Thus, I've edited the config (sos.xml) so far just on cl, to read this set of Tsnows from this port. They will be called Tsnow.x.xm.c. I've verified the USB connection by typing "$$$" to enter the Bluetooth module's command mode, then typing "h" to see a list of commands, then exiting command mode with "—". All of this works.
The next step will be to bring out the Tsnow mote (presently left in the salamander room) and then attach some probes. This will wait until Jan.
