s6: found that the bank2 fuse (1A) was blown, cutting off power to the FTDI board, USB devices, and of course the sensors. Replaced with a 2A fuse. We didn't do anything special to the radiometer, and assume that the fuse issue was related to the NR01 outage in the data matrix.
s7: found no manfrotto and thus radiometer. Installed the manfrotto, and had a radiometer, but not a boom or top plate, so couldn't finish the install.
s8:
- again, the bank2 fuse was thee culprit, and replaced with 2A.
- Yes, a strange install close to trees and a steep drop to the north. I had thought this might have been installed a bit higher on the south side of the road, but not going to change now!
- Also found that the modem worked better outside the box than inside, despite a lot of towers being pretty close. Chose to install an external omni antenna, which perked up the cell signal.
- Also, as with s15 yesterday, had to uncomment the RawSampleOutputStream on the station to get data flowing to barolo.
- I think Isabel also enabled the 4-hour watchdog.
Stopped for lunch at the El Capitan campground "market" and had a wicked Janga competition...
s3: needed a soil sensor installation. Also, white tape around NR01 had popped open with the ventillation and was repaired.
s1:
- needed both normal and "cr" soil installation. This install was horrible, with very hard and dry ground. I ended up placing both the TP01 AND the Gsoil in holes and covering them – something I've almost never done.
- Fan not wired on this NR01.
- Found that the OTT wasn't working, so replaced. (I'm hoping that it is just a configuration issue.)
- The SHT probe had become loose under the Gortex cap. We ended up replacing the entire SHT probe because I wasn't sure of the correct SHT85 orientation. (I'll check this later in the base.)
A pretty good day to address a lot of issues!
