10/2/13, TWH:

Cleaned krypton and radiometers.

Vmote.rad reported discharging, but battery properly wired and measures 12.2 V both at the battery terminals and the battery connector on the mote.

Unfortunately, there were a couple of wisps of smoke when I tested the voltage in the mote and afterword the mote was not sampling properly (based on lights).

Left site at 13:25.

Comment by Gordon: The radiation mote at far is ID16. Looking at the raw data I see that the data quit at 19:00:43 UTC (13:00 local) (with an Xbee-reset at 18:59), resumed for 2 minutes at 19:11 and then quit.

Later at 15:10 to 15:35 Chris and Tom raised the radiation dark horse to 2.02 meters, measured to the top of the horizontal rail. Radiation data should be discarded during this period.

Chris removed the GPS jumper from the radiation mote and it appeared to be sampling the data okay.  When we got into radio contact with Gordon, however, he said that the radiation data were not coming in.  We returned to FAR to replace the mote, guessing that the its radio had failed.  We found that the power connecter on the mote was fused.  Chris cut off the power cable at the mote and hard-wired it to replacement mote.  Seems to be working now.
