Thanks to Erin Stacy, Michelle Gilmore, Maria Ayala and Madeline Castro, we deployed the 26 repeaters in a couple of hours ! Hard work, we pounded u-channels into the ground and attached the repeater poles…
Second testing day ! Unfortunately the LiDAR data we use is not precise enough to determine the density of the vegetation along a path. We realized that moving from a meter could make the percentage of delivered messages from 100-80% to 0-20%. Because our transmission tests are performed over different…
First day in the field ! Today we drove to the Souther California site were we are going to set up the network. The goal of the day is to test a model built for the ARHO network connectivity traces and the LiDAR data of the deployment area. The model…
14 August 2016, Southern Sierra, California, USA. Testing day! We plotted the first data on a Grafana dashboard and tested the new application for packet delivery versus distance. Everything is ready for tomorrow !
13 August 2016, Berkeley, California, USA. Today we started the preparation of the Southern Sierra deployment ! The Berkeley team already replace the dev We first adapted the map to handle multiple deployments as it was fixed on the PEACH one. We then added new SOL types for the system…
