6474 2023-11-20 Bouldin Corn Air Quality Sensor Removed Lab none Removed from BC tower and brought back to the lab. It needs a new data card slot. The current card slot has a bad spring mechanism so cards don't physically mount.
6473 2022-11-02 Lab none Installed Bouldin Corn Air Quality Sensor Installed at BC on the tower
6046 2022-10-18 Bouldin Corn Air Quality Sensor Removed Lab none Removed from BC tower and brought back to the lab for further inspection. Data over the summer seemed spiky.
5635 2021-12-14 Lab none Installed Bouldin Corn Air Quality Sensor Installed at Bouldin Corn on the southwest scaffolding post. It is powered by mini-USB-to-USB cable that connects in the dfPAR CR10X enclosure. The microSD card slot is tucked up into the inner PVC shield to prevent water from dripping on it. The card slot is easy to pull out and tuck back in when I need to access the card.
5652 2021-12-13 Lab none Maintenance Lab none This sensor had some corrosion on one of the power connectors inside the sensor (it got rained on after the BC tower fell over), so Joe bypassed it by attaching one long mini-USB-to-USB cable. The clock was also ahead by one day. I brought the sensor home to connect to my home wifi for a few hours for the clock to automatically sync with the network. I checked the data files on the card and the timestamps were good.
