Next, assembled everything to go on tse13: 2 DSMs, 7 TRHs with booms, clamps, cables, 2 motes, power supplies & connections (including the weird 24V through 500' of cable and, of course, the rubbermaid jugs), network cables, etc.. Got a scare when the TRHs didn't come up, then realized that the sensors were packed away elsewhere. Found them and all read about 14C – no wonder I've been chilly working in here! By now everything is up except the DSM Bluetooth console. (Using the USB test console module worked fine.) Have noticed that one of the motes has a yellow (labeled orange) LED (near the middle of the board by RP11) that is solid on when first powered up, but goes away after a power cycle (including pio 7 0/1). Seems to work when it is on anyway. Also, the 24->12 DC-DC on the top DSM shut itself off the first time, but now has stayed on for more than an hour. Scary. One cute thing is that the GPS's get good reception in the ballroom!

Now leaving the ops center for the day. Both the INEGI and DTU crowd come begin work tomorrow (along with Dan), so things will get busy!
P.S. Light and heat definitely are better in my room, but 91 steps are a lot to do carrying a tub full of motes. DTU will lend me a tweezers (better than my Swiss Army Knife's) which also should make the mote job easier.
