**tested both Clock Wise(CW) and Counter Clock Wise (CCW)
*Wind speed using anemometer drive (18802)
** @200rpm = 0.98m/s. @1000rpm = 4.9m/s. @2000rpm = 9.8m/s
**tested both CW and CCW
*Vane Torque using Vane Torque Gauge (18331)
**mount the gauge, pull the string, if it moves with < 30 gm-cm of torque, golden.
**tested both CW and CCW
*Wind Direction using Vane Angle Fixture Tower Mount (18212)
** checked 3 directions
*** 33821 all within 1 degree of accuracy
*** 61996 reads 3 degrees less (ex: reads 177 when should be 180)

* Use Aluminum tripod from Museum
* Need to replace some bolts... take care of this 8/3 (Aisle was closed at Home Depot)
** See clipboard for info
* Reuse the 10' x 1" pipe up top used the by the cameras for the net radiometer cross arm
** I think we'll need to have a vertical support partway out the pole to keep it all level.
** could use unistrut for all of this but will need to drill a hole in one of the unistruts because the holes don't entirely line up.
** ubolt horizontal unistrut to tower
** ubolt 1" pipe to horizontal unistrut
** partway out horizontal pipe then add a vertical piece of unistrut.
**
* Two batteries up top. We'll need to helicopter these up.
* battery box for up top remains in 106 to carry sensors out in second shipment.
* Cross arms:
** Net radiometer
** additional one for AT/RH
** Need to figure out what to do up top for the anemometer...
*** 3/4"insert is up there but need to go 3/4" to 1" vertical...
* '''Complications'''
** crossarm ubolts from Campbell aren't big enough diameter to go around this pipe.

===Anemometer notes ===
Testing each anemometer for
*propeller torque using anemometer torque disc (18310)
**factory spec is 2.6 gm-cm (black nylon screw at 5cm and metal screw at 2cm)
*** 33821 moved with 0.2 gm-cm (a black nylon screw at 2cm radius), so this is much better than factory spec
*** 61996 moved with 0.5 gm-cm
**tested both Clock Wise(CW) and Counter Clock Wise (CCW)
*Wind speed using anemometer drive (18802)
** @200rpm = 0.98m/s. @1000rpm = 4.9m/s. @2000rpm = 9.8m/s
**tested both CW and CCW
*Vane Torque using Vane Torque Gauge (18331)
**mount the gauge, pull the string, if it moves with < 30 gm-cm of torque, golden.
**tested both CW and CCW
*Wind Direction using Vane Angle Fixture Tower Mount (18212)
** checked 3 directions
*** 33821 all within 1 degree of accuracy
*** 61996 reads 3 degrees less (ex: reads 177 when should be 180)

66.230.110.177:

I'm starting this for the Bill & Lily trip.

To Do:
* Could you roll up the extension cord running from the eddy covariance tower to Sina's thermal IR tower location? Take back to storage?
** We should ask Stan / Brian if it is still out there
*

===September Items that would be bonus for August===
'''(Sounds like September trip may not happen... hopefully you are able to do these)'''
I have these items on the September trip but if you have time it would be awesome to do them in August and even better if we don't need the September trip:
To Do:
* Replace all SR50A snow transducers
** 2pcs @ A, 2 pcs @ B, 3pcs @ C, 1pcs @ D
** general rule, station ID = 7, trough = 8, at C rim ID = 9
** tools required:
*** phillips screw driver
*** 1/4" nutdriver if you remove the sensor from the stand to swap out.
*** 1/2" wrench/nut driver if you remove the sensor.
** Near the boardwalk to the C site is Anna Liljedahl's Soil moisture grid site. There is an MD485 wired link between that CR1000 and the C site. Could we talk through checking this link. Haven't heard from the logger since last fall. Also worth it to download the data but I think fixing whatever is ailing the MD485 link will get the telemetry working again.
*** it is possible that the C site has forgotten that it is a pakbus router.
* Swap out all Wind Speed Sensors
** 3m @ A, B, C will require a ladder
** 1.2m @ A,B, C, D
** These are Met One 014A sensors so the tricky part I think will be the corrosion. The sensor cable screws on the base which I think won't be too bad but might require a channel lock.
** The cups though will require an allen wrench, small, and the corrosion may make removing them all but impossible. I'm not sure.
** we'll need to add anti corrosion goo to the fittings on replacement, too.
* check level on radiometers

To Bring:
* 014A replacements
* couple small tools
** 1/2" wrench/nut driver
** 1/4" wrench/nutdriver
** metric allen wrenches
**
* ladder
* SR50A transducers
* anti corrosion goo

Take from Barrow from Nome (we have permission):
* 5 pieces of trail mat

In Action packer already:
*disc
*8 sr50a transducers
*assortment of zip ties, hose clamps, duct tape, electrical tape
*7 met one ws rods, 7 met one ws cups
** allen wrench taped to one of rods (also one of the yellow set in my tool kit fits)
* anti corrosion goo

Initial Debian Server Setup

2016-06-16T19:29:08Z

66.230.110.177: /* Download media */

[[IARC Server List]]
==Step by step (roughly) procedure for getting a Debian-ARM server up and running for remote deployment as a serial radio base or a number of other things==
Been meaning to put this together for a while.
===Download media===
A lot of these ARM based systems have a microSD or SD card image that can be flashed from an online source. I like to use the most recent stable version of Debian if it's available and also the minimum size image so that less extra cruft is installed (don't need a window manager etc) 
The RaspberryPis work well, too but have less horsepower under the hood: 
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ 
This is more powerful but doesn't come with a vanilla kernel (this means long term updating is harder): 
http://wiki.solid-run.com/doku.php?id=products:imx6:overview:flashsdcard

We also have a few units (the DreamPlug and the GuruPlug) from GlobalScale but the power supplies have become flaky over time and I think the cubox-i is current favorite. 
https://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/ 

I guess in addition, also using intel based NUC which is slightly larger, maybe more powerful but the cpu instruction set is x86 rather than ARM. For Debian, that means nothing but it should also mean we can run loggernet for linux further afield. (this is on my later in the winter list).

===First step===
#Download the current image of the OS available online to your computer
## http://wiki.solid-run.com/doku.php?id=products:imx6:software:os:debian 
## https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ 
# Flash it to the appropriate media (microSD or SD card typically). Something like this:
## sudo dd if=~/Downloads/ignition.img of=/dev/rdisk2 bs=4096 ''' (cubox-i example)'''
## sudo dd if=2015-11-21-raspbian-jessie-lite.img of=/dev/rdisk2 bs=4096 '''(Raspberry Pi example)'''
# Look up online the default user / password to get into the system once it is up and running, too.
## A simple search for something like "''Raspberry pi default user name and password''" should get you close.
# Once you're up and running, log in as the default user and then let's do some set up in an interactive sudo session:
<pre> sudo -i</pre>

===For raspberry pi, change keyboard layout to US===
Default is UK English layout... before you change the passwords you should get a US layout keyboard. Here is a good resource 
https://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard 
<pre>dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration</pre>
<pre> service keyboard-setup restart</pre>

=== Create user accounts===
(junk name here not what you might see on our systems)
<pre> adduser scientist</pre>

=== give the user extended permissions===
https://wiki.debian.org/sudo
<pre>adduser scientist sudo</pre>

===Tighten up remote ssh access===
Been having some issues with port scanning and automated log in attempts from all over the world. You can initially lock things down by disabling the default account from ssh login (after creating your first other user in the previous step). First up, edit the ssh server configuration. The file is found in ''/etc/ssh/sshd_config'':
<pre> editor /etc/ssh/sshd_config</pre>
Add these lines to that file (or verify that they are there / double check that you aren't duplicating and creating confusion for the daemon):
<pre>
## Disable root login:
PermitRootLogin no
##specify which users can log in over ssh:
AllowUsers scientist
</pre>
With that out of the way, restart the ssh server and you have taken a step towards better securing the system:
<pre>service ssh restart</pre>
===Update Firewall:===
Firewall is complicated. I'm not 100% I have this correct but it's quite a bit more secure than the defaults and such. It's worth its own entry though:
* [[IP Tables Firewall Example]]

===update apt & all packages===
<pre>
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
</pre>

===Raspberry Pi specific: Resize Partition===
Run this utility as root:
<pre>raspi-config</pre>
One of the options (the first one) is:
<pre>1 Expand Filesystem Ensures that all of the SD card storage is available to the OS </pre>
Select that and the file system will go from the default, like 1.3 GB and expand to consume the whole card. See here for a bit more discussion: 
http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/499/how-can-i-resize-my-root-partition

===Install additional packages===
Great, if you've made it this far then you should have a decently secure system, nearly ready for deployment. There are a few more pacakges it is smart to install... kind of depends on what you are doing whether you add all of them or not but there first are a good move.

<pre> apt-get install nmap ntp less imagemagick python mailutils fail2ban ser2net git telnet screen</pre>
* '''nmap''' is useful for checking out the internet presence of your device. Kind of optional but nice to have installed if you need it at a later date.
** https://packages.debian.org/stable/nmap
* '''ntp''' is the time server, used to get internet time. It should be installed by default but I have found it isn't alway. So, best to be explicit and install it here.
** https://packages.debian.org/jessie/ntp
* '''less''' is a simple command line utility for reading text files. A gain, it should be installed by default but I have run into it not being installed.
** https://packages.debian.org/jessie/less
* '''imagemagick''' is a great command line based image manipulation library. Used by a few different utilities. I think we use it to resize / slice automatically generated plots, and to do some other stuff in Barrow.
** https://packages.debian.org/jessie/imagemagick
* '''python''' common programming language we use extensively and should be added to the system.
* '''mailutils''' is a simple email package. Used by crontab & the security updates system (as well as others I'm forgetting) to give you status information.
* '''fail2ban''' is used to lockdown ssh a bit further than the default ip tables rules. It blocks IP addresses that try to log in too often with a bad user/password. Intended to reduce workload of these simple computers handling garbage so they can focus on serving as a serial base station etc.
* '''ser2net''' pretty solid utility for getting serial port access (or usb to serial access) via sockets. This is the primary thing we use to handle getting data logger information available over the internet. For multipoint radios, there is also a '''ser2nets''' which can allow more than one LoggerNet instance to access the radio network simultaneously. I haven't used ser2nets but have thought about experimenting with it.
* '''git''' we use this for distributing datapro and other utilities
* ''telnet'' useful for testing ser2net's operation.
* ''screen'' useful for testing the usb to serial device

====Automatically install security updates:====
The last generally mandatory package to add is the Unattended security updates. There are couple packages to install but there are also some configs to modify It's best to just read this page. 
https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades 
But, I can also give you a hint that you'll need to do at least these three things from the command line:
<pre>apt-get install unattended-upgrades apt-listchanges</pre>
<pre>editor /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades</pre>
<pre>editor /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades</pre>

===Other packages===
So, those are typically the base to get you up and running. Then, this next set are slightly more specialized. If you are going to do any data processing or use the WERC data retrieval tools these are good to install:
<pre> apt-get install build-essential libdbi-perl libconfig-yaml-perl python-numpy python-tz liblockfile-simple-perl libdbi-perl bc </pre>

===check timezone===
Important to confirm we are using UTC:
<pre>sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata </pre>

===Next steps===
So, at this point you have a system that has now been tailored to generic deployment. With that out of the way there are some specific things and tools / scripts that are nice to give you a bit more feedback. For example. it needs to tell you its IP address routinely so there are some things to set up in order to make that happen like:
* set up a private key in the ''scientist'' user account so you can automate the transfer
** follow this: http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html
** '''ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 '''
** then, add the key to the server you want to push too:
*** '''ssh-copy-id scientist@ngeedata.iarc.uaf.edu'''
* set up the crontab so that the automated stuff is configured to happen... do all of this from your user account rather than your root account.
<pre>
mkdir ~/bin
nano ~/bin/main_cron
</pre>
* add something like this to the file main_cron to transmit the IP address every 10 minutes:
<pre>
*/10 * * * * /sbin/ifconfig > /home/scientist/grayling_ip.txt
*/10 * * * * scp -oport=2222 /home/scientist/grayling_ip.txt user@ngeedata.iarc.uaf.edu:/home/user/remote_ips/
</pre>
* add this to the crontab:
<pre> crontab ~/bin/main_cron</pre>
* confirm that it is in the crontab:
<pre> crontab -l</pre>
Great,
* set up a few more bash scripts... running out of steam here I'm just going to list commands for a bit and then annotate later.
* this gets Ross' csv utilities with datapro plus a number of other things installed
<pre>
cd ~/bin/
git clone https://github.com/rwspicer/csv_utilities.git
python ~/bin/csv_utilities/get_ip.py --infile=/home/scientist/extra/grayling_ip.txt --outfile=/home/scientist/grayling_ip
</pre>

* also need to configure ser2net:
<pre>sudo nano /etc/ser2net.conf</pre>
* remove the existing lines at the bottom of the configuration and add this:
** specifying the port as ''7808''
** data type is '''''raw''''' ''(default is telnet)''
** serial to usb device is ''/dev/ttyUSB0''
** speed and data information (this is standard of most of our serial things though the baud rate may change depending on application): ''115200 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT''
** a few additional parameters to close the connection and reset the radio after each use: '' HANGUP_WHEN_DONE RTSCTS LOCAL''
<pre>
# IARC radio
7808:raw:25:/dev/ttyUSB0:115200 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT HANGUP_WHEN_DONE RTSCTS LOCAL
</pre>
* now, reload ser2net daemon with new configuration:
<pre>service ser2net restart</pre>
* next, test your setup:
<pre> telnet localhost 7808</pre>
** then hit enter a bunch and watch for a reply from the data logger. If you see it, awesome. to close the program, hold down the control key and press the close bracket key. This will bring up a new prompt:
<pre><CONTROL><]></pre>
** then:
<pre>close</pre>
* if that works, fantastic. If that doesn't, try connecting directly to the serial port using ''screen'':
<pre>sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 9600</pre>
** If that works, awesome! To quit screen then enter:
<pre>
<CONTROL> - <A> (press and hold control, then press A)
<COLON>
<TYPE> quit </TYPE>
</pre>
* if that works, then you have a good serial connection and may just need to tweak the ser2net configuration.
** I just noticed here that <pre>service ser2net restart</pre> didn't properly reload the configuration file. However this did:
<pre>service ser2net stop
service ser2net start</pre>

===Yet to come===
So, at this point you have a solid serial server. There is often more functionality you can add though depending on how things go. For instance, the speed test bash script may need to be installed, there might be webcam
