We visited S8 first to replace the charge control monitor board. Steve had mounted the new solar controller and new monitor CPU card he received in yesterday's shipment on an existing board, and that board went into S8. That restored the power monitor messages to the DSM. The readings at the time were 13.3V, .7A load current, 2.7A charge current.
- Still need to update the config on S8 to correct the sample processing for the power monitor messages. Gary Granger
After powering back up, the Gill sonic was not coming in. It looks like that was related to port ttyS6 not getting set to 422 mode, and restart of dsm fixed it.
- After verifying that this dsm has an Emerald 8P and the Gill problem on bootup really was the 422 mode boot ordering problem, update the packages on that dsm to get the fixEven after updating packages, the Gill did not come back after a reboot, and this time it did not come back after a dsm restart nor a power cycle using 'tio 4'. There is no response from it using rserial to /dev/ttyS4. The Gill appears to be down indefinitely. We can replace it with a spare. Gary Granger
We then realized we forgot to bring the updated PIC processor card for the TP01, also received in yesterday's shipment, so we boated back to the marina so Steve could get it.

Installed the tipping bucket rain gauge at 105 cm high on port ttyS6, 9600 8n1. I added to the dsm config and verified the dsm was recording the raw messages, and we simulated some tips also.
- Fill out the rest of the tipping bucket config to process samples. Gary Granger
