To Do

Last updated 2005-11-14

  • Has the pmp been hacked? (Alex, Skylar)
  • Time synch on PMP (Alex, Tom) - done
  • Backup on PMP - just backup /etc/, /root, /usr/local, and ~guest (Tom)
  • Wind data for this area (Mary)
  • 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)
    • How to set angle/calibration.
  • GPS setup with time server (Tom)

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.
