==March 6, 2006==
 
Alan, Colin, Tom, Maduna, Tom, Bryan, Jeff, Charlie
 
* Alex did the mojo and we now have DBI/DBD on the pmp.  Next is finish transactions and cleanup code. 
 
* Jeff emailed ARM about the watchdog timer, no word yet.  Charlie will look at the BIOS setting. 
 
* Colin will look into how to do damping of the direction and speed readimg.
 
* Colin will fix the graphs including the date ranges.
 
* Breadboard Wed at 1p
 
* Rainguage is working and recording data, congrats Tom and Maduna.  Mounting, reseting discipline and technique, and display elements are all that's left.
 
* Windchill calculation, both the Davis interface firmware upgrade and the new formula.  Bryan.
 
* X10 systems.  Tom waded into this and found some stuff.  Heyu.  Alan will get a serial controller.
 
* Use WECI tower for annenometer mountings.
 
* GPS.
 
 
 
==February 13, 2006==
 
Alan, Jeff, Bryan, Colin, Maduna, Tom, Alex, Charlie
 
* C to read raw value, Perl (called from cron) to buffer to file and send to server every N times, server inserts into database and returns ACK to Perl.
 
* Use TV antenna for the tower.
 
* Check the TS-5600 library.
 
* Watchdog timer (Jeff)
 
* Rain gauge (Tom, Maduna)
 
* GPS (Alex, Jeff), solar radiation (Colin, Maduna)
 
* Alan's applications - 1) small machine that does temp and displays via http and send X10 commands out the serial interface with X10 switches and dial-up and ethernet interfaces.  2) robot to go in a house under remote control, B/W (or color) video, up stairs, 30 minute, budget of about $2000.
 
 
 
==February 6, 2006==
 
Tom, Colin, Alex, Maduna, Jeff, Bryan, Alan, Charlie
 
* Do we have a calibration/accuracy problem WRT wind direction? Rest of the stuff listed below  (Colin, Alex, Bryan)
 
* GPS (Alex and Jeff)
 
* Watchdog timer (Jeff)
 
* Rain gauge, try plugging into the interface and testing (Maduna, Tom)
 
 
 
==January 30, 2006==
 
Colin, Alex, Tom, Jeff, Bryan, Maduna, Alan, Charlie
 
*Laid-out the architecture of the quark-pmp-wind components and the interfaces. 
 
*Look at the TS-5600 library interface for reading ports rather than /dev/...
 
*Put together a circuit based on a voltage regulator supplied by the board power port.
 
 
 
==Organization Meeting - January 11, 2006==
 
Alex, Bryan, Colin, Tom, Maduna, Jeff, Charlie
 
* Regular meetings this semester will be on Monday at 12p in the Dennis 4th lab.
 
* Wind speed and direction - data aquisition/data transfer/packaging/deployment (Colin, Jeff, Alex, Bryan)
 
* GPS - data aquisition/data transfer/packaging/deployment/ntpd/clients (Alex, Jeff)
 
* Rain gauge - data aquistion/data transfer/visualization (Tom, Maduna)
 
* Solar radiation - data aquistion/data transfer (Colin, Maduna)
 
 
 
==To Do February 2006 ==
 
* Fix wind chill calculation, use new formula
 
* Figure-out watchdog timer on PMP
 
* Backup on PMP - just needs to be put in cron (Tom)
 
* Wind data for this area (Mary)
 
* Problems with direction - determine input voltage and calibrate to that (Alex and Colin)
 
** Stable voltage needed, e.g. when WiFi card is removed voltage fluctuates.  Measure at start and end, if equal than ok. 
 
* Porting wind speed and direction software and setup to pmp, made some progress (Mary, Alex, Colin)
 
** Speed working now, using sigalarm(), need a resistor?  DIO for power.
 
** Direction isn't working yet.
 
** Next week on roof?
 
** Two weeks in field?
 
* Sleep and wake on pmp1 with watchdog timer (Mary)
 
* Weather Cam is working again, cluster camera to be setup in D209.
 
* RP&L Weather data, contact Gus Duke.  Indiana American Water has a link which she sent. (Mary, Charlie)
 
* Rain guage, Mary has worked on it but it's not working.  (Mary, Charlie)
 
* Solar radiation sensor, continues to make progress, conversion and data comparison (Colin)

** 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.
 
 
*We are using a [[Digi PortServer TS 2]], SN=V40611264
 
** URL of the documentation
 
 
*Rain guage:
 
** Sends a pulse every time the cup switches.
