Enviromental chamber monitoring and control

• 0 = /dev/ttyS0 ; rightmost, nearest computer
• 1 = /dev/ttyUSB3
• 2 = /dev/ttyUSB2 ; middle
• 3 = /dev/ttyUSB1
• 4 = /dev/ttyUSB0 ; leftmost, nearest door

• login to PC attached to chambers (see above)
• run byobu

byobu

• setup directory for the logs

cd chamber_control
mkdir indoor_outdoor_rep3

• rename the byobu window (optional but nice)

byobu rename-window USB0-logging

• start the logger for USB0

./maildone.sh ./espec_logger.py -c loggerUSB0.cfg 

• open a new window for the tracking program to run in
  press F2 key
• run the tracking program

byobu rename-window USB0-outdoor
./maildone.sh './track_sensor.py -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -C "ssh [email protected] /root/read_sht31.py out"' |& tee -a indoor_outdoor_rep3/USB0_outdoor.log

• repeat for logging and tracking outdoor (using the chamber on ttyS0?)
  press F2 key

byobu rename-window S0-logging
./maildone.sh ./espec_logger.py -c loggerS0.cfg 

press F2 key

byobu rename-window S0-indoor
./maildone.sh './track_sensor.py -d /dev/ttyS0 -C "ssh [email protected] /root/read_sht31.py in"' |& tee -a indoor_outdoor_rep3/USB0_indoor.log

Now you can use the F3 and F4 keys to switch between windows and see what is going on.
When you are satisfied, logout by detaching (press F6) and type exit.

Fire up your favorite terminal program and log into the PC (IP ends with 120).

Run byobu to create a persistant session or reconnect to an existing one. Hit the F6 key to pull up a help screen if you need to. Most useful keys are:

• F2 : create a new window
• F3 : switch to previous window
• F4 : switch to next window
• F6 : disconnect from session (so you can logout without closing windows)
  To close a window, just type exit.

All the programs are under /home/ncm/chamber_control so:
cd chamber_control

./maildone.sh ./espec_logger.py -c loggerUSB0.cfg 

This will create a chamber_USB0.log file.
There is already .cfg file for each chamber.
This program keeps running and ouputting to the terminal, so run one per window (just create a new window with F2).

./maildone.sh './track_sensor.py -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -C "ssh [email protected] /root/read_sht31.py out"' |& tee -a track_outdoor_repFOO.log

Replace the /root/read_sht31.py out with /root/read_sht31.py in to read the sensor in the medfly rearing room.
Replace the last track_outdoor_repFOO.log with whatever logging filename you want to use.
note: The read_sht31.py script which runs on a Raspberry Pi is in the pihvac repository.

Make the profile configuration file. See profile_tmp.cfg for an example.

Running a profile is started with something like: ./run_profile.py -c profile_tmp.cfg Of note, run_profile.py will pick up where it left off by default. If you want to start over, say:
./run_profile.py --restart -c profile_tmp.cfg
that doesn't matter if you are using 'clocktime' (real time), but does if you are doing something like following a .csv file with historic weather data.

Runs using python3. Requires miminalmodbus which can be installed via pip.

track_sensor.py will typically require putting your ssh key in authorized_keys on the remote pi to grab the readings.

Detect "Chamber Run" switch beign off if possible

add silence alarm with timeout (reenable after time or return to normal range) to logger

better monit monitoring (disk at least)
