Dec 3, Playa motes at main site (near radiometers) and aux site (north of main) and Highland not reporting any data

Playa, 14:16 MST

Mote at main soil site is ID3: battery voltage = 12.5 V; reporting time information, but no soil data.

Mote at aux soil site is ID8: battery voltage = 11.4 V; disconnected gps, recycled power and data good.

However ID8 soon quit because battery voltage below 11.9 V (per JM).

Replaced aux battery w/ battery from main; now aux battery voltage = 13.5 V (perhaps 12.5 V was a typo).

Brought Mote ID3 and aux battery back to base

Highland, 15:54 MST

Soil mote battery voltage = 12.7 V.

Looking at data from motes:

mote_dump

showed continual reboot-like messages from the soil mote (ID22): "watchdog timer" and "sampling_mode=0", etc. No soil data. Yellow light was on solid.

Disconnected soil sensors and added them back sequentially. Data good until we connected Tsoil.

Replaced Tsoil w/ #0018 from Boulder (GM coated with fingernail polish in base).

Brought bad Tsoil back to base.
