Eric Marsjanik visited CoastCam at HoM in Truro, MA to trouble shoot problem.
Notes. Voltage is good, rebooted system, 5v power supply was 5.21 so acceptable. ./ipcstat from mpbaxterm is not showing process for cam 2. Ran Shutdown.pl and restarted with startup.pl and still no camera two. This appears to be a hardware issue and will return tomorrow. Edited Crontab to shutdown at 530pm to save battery power during low light in the winter. |

Eric Marsjanik visited CoastCam at HoM in Truro, MA to trouble shoot problem.
Notes: Camera went down over the weekend. Replaced one battery with a charged spare at MOF. All Appears to be functional. Solar panels are outputting 24v, the charge controller is outputting 12v. Inspected cables and found rodent damage. Damage does not go through the inner insulation, only the outer. |

Eric Marsjanik and Alex Olson to CoastCam at HoM, Truro for maintenance. Replaced battery with charged spare, replaced solar panel with spare. Reconfigured battery box so the lower solar panel is independent from the top solar panel. Each panel has its own solar controller and cables going to the battery box. Inside the battery box the batteries are wired in parallel supplying the electronics enclosure with a constant 12v. You can watch from the x-410 web relay the supply voltage now. |

Eric Marsjanik visited CoastCam at HoM in Truro, MA to trouble shoot problem.
Notes: Voltage has been good all day. Voltage is currently 11.75 V and considering the snow I think this is acceptable. I reconfigured the crontab file to have the camera shut off at 2220 UTC just after the final S3 update. Low Voltage shutdown is now configured to shut off at 10V. |

O. De Meo and Steve Suttles re-establish met station at HoM. Start collection enhanced wind parameter with gusts, lulls, and mean speed and direction using 120 sec moving average @ 1 min interval.
E. Marsjanik and R. Bales - open electronics box and full inspection of CoastCam caco-01. Let box dry out. Replace hard drive and tighten guy wires for solar panel. System is operational. |

Bales and De Meo visiting HoM to clean the camera lens, download data from the Met station, and reprogram the met station to collect relative humidity instead of barometric pressure. |

Suttles and De Meo visited HoM to inspect the met station for damage from the Nor'easter. Station was in good condition. Several guy wires were broken and the solar panel was facing down. The solar panel was repositioned, and the met station deviation from magnetic north was measured because it was offset. A 20 degree correction to the data will be necessary. The met station was powered off, data was downloaded, the met station was repositioned to point to magnetic north with the sight compass, and then the met station was powered back on and the data stream was confirmed. The Coastcam had water inside the electrical box, the lenses had some moisture in them, and the switch was replaced. |
