Project on Site

All of our equipment has arrived here on the island.  TSA inspected the box twice, but aside from picking up the box with the outside temperature sensor, pulling the wires off, it survived.  The temperature sensor was fixable.  There were also a couple of loose grounds to be tightened.  A group of sensors were giving odd readings so I knew to look for a loose ground.  One bad sensor, might be the sensor, a bad group likely a ground. 

Remember, you can always trust your mother, but you can never trust your ground.

We have put the box outside for the first time yesterday and the solar cells are working. The wind turbine needs to up on the tower to really roar.  It currently is only generating about 40ma but on the tower it will 200ma or so according to my curves.

Here is John writing this blog entry.  Note that someone stole 200 meters of phone line about a mile from the house and so we have lost our internet correction for some time.
