- TRH fan was running fine, just reporting bogus values. Swapped housing to fix. Kept the same SHT (116?)
- Dropped the mast to install a lightning spike (involving swapping the top crossarm as well)
- Taped a hole in the NR01 ventillation
- Installed an omni cell antenna
- dsm is giving under-voltage errors. We tried reseating the USB cable to the pi but it didn't help. Maybe consider replacing (some parts of) the dsm?
s9:
- Again, fixed a hole in the NR01 ventillation
- Installed Victron USB cable
- Noted strange manfrotto setup!
...
- installed soil sensors
- Noted strange field of view of the NR01
- Played a bunch with cell service and ended up installing another omni, but weren't getting service when we leftInvestigated cell antennas. In my laptop, the modem without an external antenna got 1-2 bars, occasionally losing signal. We tried the omni antenna and got up to 4 bars sometimes, but signal would still drop in and out. We tried the directional antenna but never got any signal in any direction. Nothing was that helpful, but we decided to leave the omni attached. So far that doesn't seem to be helping, but it's also not worse. I don't know what else to try here–it's on the wrong side of the ridge crest to see down to cell towers along the coast, and down the other side doesn't seem to have coverage.
Patronized the strawberry lady!
