To Do Yet
Iridium system
- Sign up for service
- find 2x5 connector so I can turn them on.... maybe done
- review developer guide to see about how to send a message
- I am thinking simple, like (this is relative) just using a raspberry pi to interface between the logger and the iridium. Or, start off that way and if I can manage then direct iridium to logger.
- for rapid prototyping though
- I think this is fleshed out elsewhere in the wiki but I think it's close. Just need to get them activated.
Snow laser
- Write up on how to use
- stretch goal of route following
- look into programming the R8s for supplying RTK if the other units don't arrive.
Snow temps / depth / net radiation stand
- write data logger programs
- cobble package together for shipping
- white fiberglass rods
- the one hole deals to secure rods to the snow probe
Rest of snow gear
- track down scales
- zip loc bags
- folding tape
- t probe
