Support Engineering Group : 2011-03-03 Progress Meeting This page last changed on Mar 03, 2011 by kgomes. ### Goal This is a meeting to get a status update and map out task needing to be done. ### Attendees Francisco Chavez Mike Kelley Erich Rienecker Rich Schramm Craig Okuda Bob Herlien Paul Coenen Kevin Gomes ### Topics Schedule NDBC/M2 Change Radio Upgrades Ocean Acidification Buoy ### Schedule March 21 - Visit from NDBC. We should all have a face-to-face. April 1 - Ocean acidification buoy - March 22 - NDBC/M2 code freeze April 10 - NDBC/M2 Closed can testing begins May 10 - NDBC/M2 Buoy Change Summer - M0 recovery, replace with O4 buoy August 15 - Code freeze September 5 - Closed can testing October 5 - M1 Turn ### Ocean acidification buoy Current status This will be stopped by radio upgrades. could deploy without telemetry Francisco is confident about licenses. and Rich is confident in Bob's software. We could use an OA controller and setup on cabled viper radio for testing of downloads. FC requested space from Doug from Jose for testing. he would have space available. we can use it. We will keep in support lab for this test. ### NDBC/M2 Change Update on controller choice O4 is 75% there for instrument list for NDBC. Need radiometer Still on the fence (leaning towards O4) Do we have time for O4? ISUS driver and satlantic radiometer driver and eco driver. Bob for drivers, ETs to build O4, boards built outside, Dave French for integration. We assumed that O3 was to be done on NDBC. PCO for Bob's time, plus others (Craig, Rich, etc.). Mechanical tasks too for mounts. Machine shop time will be more (Craig for design). There is some savings with NDBC handling some. Update on structure of comms/buoy Need to make O4 for NDBC Do we want ground fault detection on NDBC? Still need testing on combined O3 vs. O4. Downstream only depends on radio system. Monitoring data streams is done by Fred (could he pull NDBC data and stream to SSDS). Fred is funded by core mooring data MDUC. Do we need to get more money? Talk to Mike about third data stream products. Is there a chance the we will expand instruments? Always a chance. We want to keep it minimal, so probably not. The idea is to replicate on other instances. Expansion contingency is to use O3 and talk to O4 over serial and then use O3 for expansion. Power for controller, not from NDBC. We will have solar, but not oasis batter and power. Smaller pack. This will impact controller as it looks for power levels for certain things. Need to get power budget for OA controller. need to test instruments against OA/O4. Redesign of cabling for NDBC. Will push off until later. Would be good to have one SOON connector. Need a change for troubleshooting. ### Radio Upgrades Status update Waiting for licenses. 1/2 done other 1/2 pending. We need one to get moving. Do we have something we could use for testing and deployment? yes, but there is a noise problem. Still dealing with packet filtering. ### OASIS Status Current issues O3 will have to deal with new CO2 instrument. Bob can do driver hack. This will need to be for M1 turn in October.
