Tuesday, November 20, afternoon
The lab is up and running! We expected a lot more tools to be available, but with a bit of help from Leena and the crew from the Biological station and a run to the store, which is stocked much more thoroughly than expected, we were able to setup quite good working conditions. Hey, we even managed to get some pretty good bolts and nuts. The only thing missing, a soldering iron, but it is coming tomorrow with the BRAMOR UAS crew and Jari Nykänen from Kemijarvi. Probably a nice Weller. The Systemics one is only 110V, so we did not bring it. There was some action on the roof tonight. Setting up the first antennae and testing if the new 900MHz antennae on the SINUNI prototype nodes are better than the old ones. They are, and we realise that we can work inside and receive data from the outdoor units without any monkeying with cables through windows at -10 deg C...
The hard work only starts now though, with the calibration. Our first long discussion with Lisa also happened today, and the Nunaliit Atlas Framework is on! We will also try to setup the Geopedia version and of course work with PostGIS. Lots of new things for everybody. We have to setup a local server though, task for tmrw: Take reserve laptop and turn in into an UBUNTU server. Will be done, like always....
Here we go!
