Hi All,
We recently added 2 166 mHz antenna to our CTT sensor station using Funcubes and deployed some tags nearby but don’t see any detections on motus.org. We’re currently trying to troubleshoot and could use some additional information on Funcubes.
When we plug the sensor station into the computer, we can see some live pulses but no known live tags. This is likely because we haven’t uploaded a tag detection database to the funcubes but my understanding is that this shouldn’t affect detections showing up on Motus. I’ve attached a screenshot of the web interface and it looks like everything is as expected (I think).
When we check the CTT website, we see that the dongles are producing some information. The SQL file produces something that looks like this:
p6,1675337799.7748,3.836,-50.12,-73.96
p6,1675337799.8211,3.829,-50.35,-73.27
p6,1675337799.9041,3.832,-50.22,-73.41
p6,1675337799.9578,3.839,-50.15,-73.81
p6,1675337838.6709,3.835,-49.96,-72.85
p6,1675337838.7174,3.839,-50.15,-73.48
p6,1675337838.8004,3.844,-50.23,-73.75
p6,1675337838.8541,3.835,-50.19,-73.79
However, motus shows no detections or even false detections on the SQL database when accessed through R. Maybe this is just noise, but files from before we put out tags have basically no data, whereas files post tag-deployment show lots of lines of data. We have already deployed all the tags on motus.org.
What is the next step for setting this up? Are we doing something wrong with the Funcubes? Any suggestions would be super helpful.
Best,
Heather Gaya
