Useful Support Documents from Davis Instruments:

Other local data that can easily be harvested: Farmland

Hardware:

  • PMP
    • Technologic Systems TS56000 single board computer running Linux off a SANDisk.
    • URL for the board and documentation
    • To Do
      • Port threaded anemometer code, change code to use local analog/digital inputs
      • Setup NFS mounting of / on the pmp from proto
      • Test analog and digital inputs
      • Setup and test WiFi interface
      • Test and document backup and recovery procedure
      • Identify and recover missing files from SANDisk
      • Design and implement data collection, sleep, and data transfer functions
  • Anemometer
    • The Wind direction sends an analogue number.
    • The wind speed is the number of pulses per 2.25 second interval. The number of pulses is the windspeed in MPH.
  • Rain guage:
    • Sends a pulse every time the cup switches.
