I was wondering about the strange periodic offsets (saw tooths) I’m getting in the y axis data (this appeared yesterday after I was working on grounding the Pi).

It is better to use the -S <NAME> parameter so that in future there is no confusion comparing logs from more than one site. Others might be tempted to use the 'pi-' prefix, so it could become difficult to distinguish data plotted using multiple sites. Our intention was for people to use something unique - say your call sign or the Site ID that John Gibbons provides to Grape users. Any unique string less than 18 characters will work. As you can see, Dave Larsen has experimented with multiple setups over time. So he has used the runMag parameters '-k -S KVOS', '-k -S KVOS2', and '-k -S KVOS3' to distinguish the prefix for files on each setup.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Dave Witten, KD0EAG</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, 5 Jul 2021 at 10:54, David Waugh <<a href="mailto:dwaugh@kent.edu" target="_blank" class="">dwaugh@kent.edu</a>> wrote:<br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="">Thanks Dave!

At some point I did pull the cat6 cable to the magnetometer while it was running (I think) and after that point (not positive on the timing), my y axis data when cattywampus. I tried restarting everything and that didn’t help, I tried removing the ground that I added to the grape (also connected to the pi). There are a few other grounds I will remove and see if one of them is the issue. It seems strange to me that only one axis is having an issue though. Have you seen anything like this?

Dave, tomorrow I will work on setting up the rsync and the cron stuff. Your directions were excellent for getting the magnetometer going. I first got it working on a clean instal following all your directions exactly, and then got it working on the same install
as the Grape. They seem to be both working well together, as far as I can tell. I’m not a programmer and am new to Pi and linux, more of less, so getting it up and running was great and a results of your documentation. -David<br class="">
