PFA Cameras

user: pfa

This is the tower uplooking Serial to USB converter: 

root@pfa-CF-AX3SEGJR:/home/PFA_/public_html/original/dc# udevadm info -a -n /dev/ttyUSB0 | grep '{serial}' | head -n1
   ATTRS{serial}=="0000:00:14.0"

Forest Floor: /dev/serial/by-path/pci-0000:00:14.0-usb-0:1:1.0-port0
Tower Top: /dev/serial/by-path/pci-0000:00:14.0-usb-0:2:1.0-port0

If you see a message like this in the logs: 

Error 10003: eph_waitsig got -2

The camera is probably not turned on. To power on the tower top camera, press the button on the beige box for 2-3 seconds. To turn on the Forest Floor camera you will need to open the domed box and physically turn the power on.

Images recorded on the cron schedule show here:

Manually recorded measurements, such as when running the scrip from a terminal window, show up here:

Here's a page started by Bob. Not sure how often I'll be adding stuff but it's been on my to-do list. Thought I'd start with packages added to the toughbook.

COTS network system

It's not the cheapest way to go but I thought going for commercial hardware for the network components would be the way to go. We'll see once the site is operational for a winter or two. Presently, what I have going on is something like this:

This antenna picks up WiFi from a building at PFRR:
RadioLabs very directional antenna

This WiFi adapter has a linux compatible chipset and was easy to setup:
RadioLabs Magnum II USB Adapter
This powered USB extender (extend using ethernet cable from box to box) allows the usb wifi adapter to be up on the tower, minimizing the coax losses on the run to the antenna:
XTENDEX USB-C5-CE
I picked up some underground burial suitable Cat5E to go from the computer usb extender to the tower usb extender:
purchase link
So those items combine to get you to the computer.

I have two CSI white boxes. One to house the computer and one to house the tower USB & WiFi stuff. Each is lined with blueboard, sealed with duct seal, and has some extra desiccant to keep it dry, hopefully warm enough in the cold, time will tell on that though. I'll crunch the numbers at some point to see how much heat is being generated / how quickly it's dissipating. I don't expect to need to use the toughbook directly, should be available for sshing from UAF proper or via wired ethernet onsite but on the off chance I do need to connect locally, I have a VGA adapter connected to the computer and will leave a surplussed CRT monitor out at the site. Connection to the laptop will be via a bluetooth keyboard/touchpad combo:
purchase link

The computer is then connected to a network switch. This allows it to connect to the local NL100 and handle any local DHCP traffic. Probably a future upgrade will be a wireless bridge to allow other computers access to the internet / reduce the amount of brittle cabling laying about in the shed. See below for information and particulars of the software setup.

Toughbook Setup

Stock Debian with a few extra packages installed like Numpy, TeamViewer, LoggerNet for Linux

Currently use a Ubiqiti device to provide local network accesss. 192.168.10.x subnet I think.


PakBus etc.

Computer MD485: 

RS485 & RS232 Active
RS485@ 38k
RS232@ 115.2k

Logger MD485s are setup: 

RS485 & CSI/O active
CSI/O Mode -- Modem Enabled
Transparent communication mode
CSI/O @ 38k
RS485 @ 38k


Data loggers: 

add-device pakbus-port {PakBusPort} as-child {ComPort};
add-device CR1000 {SS_Met} as-child {PakBusPort};  (420)
add-device CR1000 {SS_Soil} as-child {PakBusPort}; (421)
add-device CR1000 {SS_Diag} as-child {PakBusPort}; (422)
add-device CR1000 {SS_SnowTemp} as-child {PakBusPort}; (424)
add-device CR1000 {SS_Eco_1} as-child {PakBusPort}; (423)
add-device CR1000 {SS_HeatFlux_1} as-child {PakBusPort}; (425)
