2hot2moss

Add improvements from 2019 field season through 2022.

Key additions:

• Post processing framework
• App event framework
• UI improvements
• Built in NPT server
• Several new instruments (ublox GPS, gremsy gimbal, gphoto2 camera control)
• Bug fixes
• Significant reliability improvements

Instrument specific, usb2000-pair:

• Fixes calculation and recalculation bugs
• Adds auto integration time ranging
• Improves plots
• Adds plot previews in post processing (included in KMLs)

Known Issues:

• After long runs with rapid sampling, shutdown timeout may not be long enough to fully reassemble JSON file fields
• Gremsy API is somewhat unreliable and can require gimbal to be power cycled
• Post processing has some redundant operations in order to maintain generality

pre-release-1

Pre-release to sync with Zenodo

Custom Mashed Potatoes

Includes development during the 2018 field season and leading up to 2019 deployment. Major improvements in stability, functionality and resource usage.


Known Issues:

• Displaying records from the current session (when still actively collecting data) does not work reliably from a remote client
• Some commands are hard-coded and specific to a Raspbian/Debian platform
• "pixhawk" instrument module works inconsistently due to issues with the "dronekit" module
• Certain UI elements don't work properly after resetting some instruments (depending on how they're initialized)
• Running multiple clients with one server may interfere with SFTP transfer synchronization
• Hooks have been added to event_handlers for initialization/shutdown functions (like SFTP and status_led) but have not been fully implemented

Green Cream

Initial release of MoDaCS. This is the finalized version of what was used for development and data collection during the summer of 2017. It remains backwards compatible with the data formats/structures used from then on.


Known Issues:

• Displaying records from the current session (when still actively collecting data) does not work reliably from a remote client
• Some commands are hard-coded and specific to a Raspbian/Debian platform
• "pixhawk" instrument module works inconsistently due to issues with the "dronekit" module
• Certain UI elements don't work properly after resetting some instruments (depending on how they're initialized)
• Running multiple clients with one server may interfere with SFTP transfer synchronization
• Process sometimes hangs on shutdown after stopping all threads and closing Qt application window
