We currently have a revision number displayed right after the title of each Design Overview document. This is irrelevant because we are now operating with the Github versioning system.

It appears that occasional data is left behind in the temporary folder (/logging-folder/inprogress/RDL/USB0/).
This seems to be correlated with the occasional crash of the syncing script or its related daemon.

One potential explanation is that when the script WIRED-syncing.py (responsible for data transfer from /inprogress to /transit) fails or is shut down, the partial data is never rescued by the script(s) hereafter. The data is not to be found on Dropbox nor the SD card.

It is unknown if the issue also affects the camera data (IR, surveillance) as they have not been operating on greenhouse so far.

The pilot user reported several failures of the RDL-syncing script. The error happens both with the service and the manual execution in the terminal. The exact error is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/orangepi/SHELF3/WIRED-logging-RDL-USB0.py", line 87, in
data = ser.readline().decode('ascii')
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/serial/serialposix.py", line 595, in read
raise SerialException(
serial.serialutil.SerialException: device reports readiness to read but returned no data (device disconnected or multiple access on port?)

The error happens about once a day.

The htop utility shows that even after disabling all WIRED service with the shell script, the infrared service remains active. Even killing the process (SIGTERM) with htop does not help. When the camera USB cable is unplugged, the process disappears automatically. The details have yet to be explored.

This is the description of the issue. Test.
For example, two tags are used because this is a bug that has a link with the documentation.
