Mtg notes from feb 12:
Misc tech needs:
Powerfilm – solar film that you can wrap around a tree – how much is it per foot? How much does it power? – can we get from grocs?
Solar panels from last week - http://siliconsolar.com/– can grocs get for checkpoint Charlie-?
Inv species tech needs:
a mac mini – can we get these donated from the mac rep on campus? Can we get by next week?
Solar panels for power
Super bright led’s – red, green, blue, white, orange – $1.70 - can we get wholesale? – get 10 of each – these are the same size as below, but the wattage is different -
Mini led’s – 60cents ish – 50 white - order
Ezio board – to connect a computer to any type of transmitter – can rodemer give us one of these? $129 from the ezio company –
Estimate for 300 trees – can we pull a daisy chain to power these? It will be cheaper to run these with a wire and connect these to one power source and pulse source, email rodemer -
-wireless transmitter and receiver form the ezio board – ask rodemer for recomendation
- wires from the receiver/microcontroller to the lights for both signal pulse and power source – maybe 100 feet to start-?
Sensor to trip it – from qkits, motion sensor – one sensor every 10 feet – which are more accurate, sonar/sonic or motion detector/light level sensors? Early evening has less light? -rodemer again
Also, mike asked a good question – can we just run ext cords from the reeder center for power?
Prairie:
30 tvs/monitors/lcd screens – ask checkpoint Charlie if they have 10 tvs or something we can take out to the arb and check out brightness
30 plexiglass boxes – make up dimensions and cast – get enough plexiglass for one and build – do this before spring break for my tv or one form checkpoint Charlie
video splitters – from ckpt Charlie
cord for signal from splitter plus for power
solar panels for power of mac mini
mac mini to send video signal
transmitter for video signal
receivers for each tv – 30 – ckpt Charlie?
car batteries for tv’s power
wireless transmitter – pos. jamco – or ask checkpoint charlie
big issue here about intrusive to root system of plants in the prairie – check this out, can we go wireless with data transmission?
Other notes:
river – equipment for measuring & emitting digital signals from the water measurements – tao will email professors, there are devices that take these measurements and output digital signals -
gis maps – Thursday lunchtime we can all get together and enter into the computers at snre
- sketches for Thursday of each site – ? - maybe
russ will email tom bray to go to the arb -
