Lab none |
Installed |
Bouldin Alfalfa none |
Installed south of the tower on the ground for upward looking gap fraction in the wheat. I had to reset its clock even though it was off for weeks in the lab without losing its clock. Maybe I accidentally jiggled the RTC at some point after powering it off for the final time in the lab. |

Tested |
Lab none |
The camera board had some corrosion on it and the photo preview was not showing up in the browser window. I had to swap the camera board and I think the camera cable (the lens itself was fine). |

Removed from the BA wheat field because it only had partial photos from the past 2 weeks. I think this enclosure needs better weatherproofing. |

Upgrade |
Lab none |
Upgraded its go-rasperry-pi-timelapse file to the v20230201. This version has file compression, so it takes less time to download the photos. This version also takes two photos at each time, awb and fwb using r=1.8,b=1.8 coefficients, but we don't care about that here b/c we are using it for gap fraction, not GCC. |
