Packing:

- Still need to take soil cores: bring oven/scales/soil install kit (buy a second oven and scales for trailer?)

- Replace gas can (cheapo Walmart can's spout broke)

Sensors:

- two serializers became noisy.  Need to replace or get rid of.

- Rsw.in.flr died for a while?

- Vpile.off apparently has -1 LSB = -31uV.  .xml limits should allow this.

- One TRH fan wired backwards.  Need to check past data from this sensor and double-check all fans.

- One TRH had 0.1C bias.  Pretty good for all this stuff.

- SPN1 isn't perfect.  Sent note to manufacturer.  They think it would be useful to run as a serial sensor and have the option for "TEST" mode.

- Qsoil response not normal in this soil.  Need manual calibration.  What should the strategy be here?  I actually liked having a test plot near the base.  In any case, soil quite dry during most IOPs.

- You can see core sampling in the Qsoil data!  The data jump a bit due to nearby vibration while pounding in the core.

- shorter studs on CSAT electronics boxes; suggest using lock nuts (like TRAM) instead of nylocks.

Power:

- ISS was happy with the solar trailer

- Still don't understand mote diodes.  Having a diode between charger board and battery caused failures.  Had no failures with diode removed.  Considering charge controller redesign.

Mote:

- Spare mote 15 wouldn't come up plugged in to console cable.  (Something I've done wrong?)  Labeled.

- Power motes feed power into DSM interface panel.  Something should be changed.

DSM:

- One unexplained failure at flr.  Seems to be related to 75mph gust at rim (though etherant later connected).

Computer:

- Netgear WiFi needed to be reset many times.  Changing channel and orientation helped, but still needed at least daily resets.  Toss?

- APS UPS battery dead.

- Trailer AC (and even using vacuum cleaner) caused computer issues -- everyone complained that it was warm during the late afternoon.

- would have been nice to have check_usb.sh/check_ap24.sh feed a Nagios display.

- Need to change cockpit RIP color from background!

- Can we force a browser to auto-reload plots? (found cache killer, but doesn't seem to work)

- xchat was good to have, though died when 4G went out (can/should we configure a local host as the chat server?)

- Could/should we have set up 4G failure to fall-back to HughesNet?

- R is great!  Needs more work (derived; stns=0)

Infrastructure:

- Bird diverters fell off

- Bigger holes in soil/pressure base plates for T-stakes

- How to keep kinks out of hauling line?  (Had same issues using Jack's frame during xHATS.)

- Need more Bulgin cable splices.  (Could these be printed?)

- New bolts/nuts for newer guy attachment brackets

- Check all cables from near (data, network, power).


Tear-down issues:

- unconnected serial cable to 20m.near is bad

- unconnected RJ45 cable on rim is bad.

- let's get GPS positions for flr rad stand and soils

- blown fuse on base ttyS10(?) caused by plugging in bad mote cable.  (Cable labeled.)
