SEAGATE DOCKSTAR PC
Speed wise its faster than HS with the X10 Palm pad.> init > soft_reset_halt requesting target halt and executing a soft reset target halted in ARM state due to debug - request, current mode : Supervisor cpsr : 0x000000d3 pc : 0x00000000 MMU : disabled, D - Cache : disabled, I - Cache : disabled looks much better. Another option (if debounce is OK) is to connect the digital rain sensor to a DS-10 => W800 => xap. I was going to hang it where the Rainbird sensor is today but worried a bit about lightning. It would be great to connect the new digital rain sensor to the set up. I also poll the HB 1-wire dual counter connected water meters via xAP. Real time weather data is coming from the Davis Vantage Vue via xAP, Weatherunderground and NOAA. The application is identical to the Wintel version. The Dockstar is connect to the Gb switch and doing fine running off of one 2Gb CF card. That too is velcroed to the back of the Rainbird box. I couldn't find a smaller USB to RS232 dongle that the one pictured. I used velcro between the two Rain8net's and above to hold them in place. Tested mcsSprinklers for Linux on the Joggler (just to see it work) running Ubuntu and it worked just fine.
Note that only the left two terminals are connected to the expansion module (zones 9 and 10). The Master is underneath as I had to make room for the Dockstar. It wasn't really bricked and booted fine with a new USB/CF card. This one has the PCiE edge and USB connections on it.įixed "bricked" Dockstar. I haven't noticed any speed changes navigating between the mcsSprinkler menus response times to the Rain8net devices are fast (instant to me).Īttached is a "prototype" I made with a board I originally purchased for my Netbook. Purchased the newest middle of the road in speed 2 Gb CF cards for mcsSprinklers for Linux. Not much electronics to these plastic shell uses the most space. I could do a similiar set up for a USB stick. The height is only about the thickness of the CF card and it makes it easier for me to remove or replace versus a side USB mounted memory stick. Installing it on top of the Seagate Dockstar with a 20cm cable to the top mounted USB port free's up another side port maybe to be utilized later for a 1-wire device. I did have one literally "burn" up inside of a Joggler. I haven't tested the USB SSD's yet for mcsSprinklers as I am using them all for the Jogglers. The USB memory flash was like 6-8 months though. Its only been a 2-3 weeks right now with the CF card. The USB flash eventually would start getting RW errors. No errors at all with the auto reboot every night on the CF card. I see it more reliable than the USB flash. Homeseer sees the xAP mcsSprinklers data such that you can input the data to your HSTouch clients for real time status. I'm inputting real time data from the Cumulus xAP which is running on another machine. Seagate Dockstar is getting warm but not hot. The CF card reader and short cable fit nicely inside of the Rainbird box. The HP USB stick would start getting read write errors after a bit of time. Over the last month or so switched over to a USB connected CF card reader with a 2Gb CF card it seems to be doing way better with the auto reboots every night. Reponse times were as fast as when running mcsSprinklers on Homeseer. I used the palm pad every year to test individual zones, shutting down and turning on the sprinkler system for the season. My boot on the Dockstar is just slightly modded to show different blinking LEDs relating to status.Ĭonfigured use of the X-10 palm pad via the W800 xAP stand alone application. I followed the written guide / documentation for the PogoPlug only on the Dockstart. Note this is running Archlinux on the Seagate dockstar. I've turned on mcsSprinklers for Linux in production a few days back.
