Super-Site

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.

Toughbook Setup

Toughbook is a CF-19 (small one with the touchscreen)

1. Install Ubuntu 10.10
2. Install Xinput Calibrator as per suggestions here
3. Install Numpy
4. Install Git
5. Install DHCP server for local network access on eth0 (wlan0, intel chipset installed on toughbook wasn't designed to serve as a wireless access point)
6. Install DNS Masq for supplying dns to local network (eth0 only) dnsmasq website
7. Manually configure IPTables for internet connection sharing
8. Install Loggernet for Linux
   1. Handy: this page on rpm to dem
   2. Handy: Ken's Notes
   3. Handy: Redhat vs. Debian naming convention
   4. Gist is to change the daemon command in csilgrnet, csildmp, csildep to something like this: start-stop-daemon --start --user loggernet --exec /opt/CampbellSci/LoggerNet/csilgrnet -- --run-as-daemon=true
9. clone git repositories for datapro tools

cd ~/.ssh
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "bob"
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
[paste key on github]
cd ~/working_files/bin/py_datapro/
git clone git@github.com:frankohanlon/DataPro.git

1. sftp datapro configs
2. Buy a bluetooth keyboard/mouse
3. set up sshd
4. set up keys w/ toughbook & iarc.server
5. LoggerNet isn't initially running at start. For ubuntu:

sudo update-rc.d myscript defaults 98 02

1. add sites to loggernet

1. Yet to be done:
   1. Dig out an old CRT monitor
   2. make insulated enclosure for laptop
   3. search/replace to get datapro scripts running on the new computer
   4. set up scp & data processing on the cron

Things running locally on the cron: IP address posted to peeps.working_files/ss_status/

Sensors

To Do

1. Figure out problems with Soil Moisture probes
2. Figure out problem with soil heat flux plate
3. Emailed this site to CSI 11/30/2010.

Local Network

I'd draw pictures if I knew how. Anyway:

• Small Toughbook gets internet over wlan1 from the Poker Flats facility over DHCP
• Out of eth0, the wired ethernet port, it acts as a DHCP server on the 192.168.1.1 address range.
• The site NL100 is set to 192.168.1.2
• The camera is set to _____
• There is a network switch so that other devices can also connect such as the eddy flux down the road.

PakBus etc.
