Mayberry
2012-01-17

I arrived about 12:30 with Jaclyn, Sara, Sean and Juwon. It was clear, sunny and cool with little to no wind. A hawk was sitting on the camera and then on the Tule Tower when we arrived. The tules and cattails are much browner than last visit ? still a little green at the base.

Jaclyn and Sara installed the water pressure sensor at the Tule Tower. They also changed the wiring of the LED sensor on the multiplexor. I uploaded a new program to the CR10X to add the water pressure to the end of the output and reflect the new wiring of the LED sensor. I also added some time checks to the data program that indicated the program was executing in less the 3 seconds. The data from the Tule tower looked okay, but need double checking.

The RSSI on the 7700 was about 50 so I did not clean the mirrors.

We swapped the LI7500. Sn 1594 went on and sn 0035 came off. I swapped internal chemicals and painted the box on sn 1594 before calibrating it. In painting the box I removed its mounting plate and forgot to reattach it. It still fit on the tower but not as well.
