[edit] Todolist
- Wprobe and horst: log file with the values
-
Prepare the batteries and measure them with a multimeter -
Make a stress test to empty the batteries with ipref running all the timesee Wbm2009v2/BatteriesStressTest - Install the original wget and mtr
[edit] Friday 16 oct
- before noon: install powercables (foam, imal, mort&vif)
- early afternoon: have a trip to hsb
- antenna-foo (the omni, panel, different pigtails,..)
- asus adapters or what's left from it, lab-power supply
- ethernet cables -- the really long ones will serve well, we'll also need 4x5m
- battery packs if we find some
- toiletpaper
- pot of honey
- have a run to ELAK
- batteries, battery packs
- US-EURO plug converters (at least 42)
- DYMO refill
[edit] Workflow
- there's a machine running theWbm2009v2/ConfigExpectScript-- it needs to be fed with foneras, 'flashing' them with new firmware
- These clean fonera's go into the Wbm2009v2/NodeConfigurationFactory, where they are configured according to scripts & configuration-parameters (scripts are developed friday-evening and saturday, join in !)
- the nodes are taken outside for the tests
- if you configured logging, you got something to investigate after the test (we still need to setup our logging infrastructure --think syslog-ng--, if you feel like helping out, come friday-afternoon)
- document your configuration,scripts, and tests (even non-successfull, mere ideas, etc)
- of course multiple tests can take place at the same time, just depends how many people we are !
- if you feel like developing some testcases & run around with your nodes... better come over
- or replaying existing test scripts
if it rains: we do a great hackaton on
- User Mode Linux : run OpenWRT in a virtual machine (configuring, porting Nico's config tool, trying to get the python hook into uml_switch to work)
- playing around with test-scripts for inside use (eg. using the fonera gpio to give user feedback (leds!), non-symmetric links (lowering transmit power), etc.) -- yeehaw!
