REVISITING this, now that data are flowing – at various times all data stopped, qctables was dead, and statsproc was dead yesterday midday, so this is hard!

Summary: Intermittent rain and light winds.  Now only partly cloudy.  Tower and S15 were not responding on arrival. Repairing S2 TRH so we can reinstall the crossarm.

Actions past 24 hours:

  • Yesterday (10/2) 3 stations not responding at morning check so we had a Sunday boat ride.

    S15: USB modem and USB stick both not talking, despite power cycle.  Reconfigured DATAMNT to send data to compact flash instead of modem, removed stick, removed USB hub – modem now directly plugged in.  cycled power, still don't have cell connection, but at least saving data locally.  Note that this was 2 visits, the second was when we actually got local storage working

    S7: console not responding.  Power cycle brought back cell.  USB stick took a while to mount, but now okay

    S3: pi in bad non-connecting mode.  removed and brought back to base.  Now plugged into cradlepoint, but c-point not connecting to cell modem.  Will work on tomorrow.

    S2: verified that TRH fan is dead, but couldn't remove to bring back because setscrew frozen in place.  Had to bring the entire crossarm back to base and eventually drilled out the setscrew.

To dos:

  • Reshoot all boom angles (just because...Have done most sites so far)
  • Soil core samples (took some from S15, could redo S9, S1 waiting for a new Qsoil)
  • Install TP01 when fixed
  • Fix WWW plots that die too frequently

Station Status:

S3: NO DATA.  Pi DSM keeps on crashing with cell modem and is now back at base for testing.

S15: NO DATA.  Cell modem isn't recognized over USB, but <should> be saving data locally, starting with our visit about 1100 yesterday.
