motus

R package to fetch telemetry data from http://motus.org

Core client for the motus package; most users should use the motus R package provided by motus.org, which is here: https://github.com/MotusWTS/motus. That package uses a fork of this one to fetch data, but also provides functions to work with the data.

Installation

    install.packages("devtools")              ## if you haven't already done this
    library(devtools)
    install_github("jbrzusto/motusClient")

Usage vignette

A brief sketch is here

What's working so far:

2017 Oct 13 - version 0.1.2

• fix the clarify() function (closes #6 )

2017 Oct 10

• tagme(): now downloads hourly pulse counts when updating a receiver database

2017 Oct 6

• tagme(): for tag project databases, this now also downloads any ambiguous detections which could belong to the project. These have negative synthetic motus tagIDs which are mapped to real motus tag IDs via the tagAmbig table. Functions for users to deal with ambiguous detections are pending.

2017 Jul 28

• tagme() - for updating local copies of receiver or tag project detection databases
• tellme() - for asking how much data will need to be transferred by the corresponding tagme() call

The latest version of the data server that works with this package is now running on a new box, but its database is only populated with data from 4 (!) receivers. Raw files from other receivers will be re-run with the latest version of the tag finder and added to this database. Only those users willing to wrestle with alpha code and not actually interested in getting their data should be using this package for now.
