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
