I think that the directory structure could be the culprit. The way that I have been able to reliably get this work is the following:

It seems to me its a working practice’s issue, repeatability and traceability- not a programming issue. From a distance, seems like you should be able to see the code in the directory that you are building – however you do have a unique directory structure, and if opening HicksonDeployments.code-workspace – maybe its mispointed. I open…[Read more]

I think I agree with you about the complexity of deploying multiple sensor packages, each with different UUIDs. However, I don’t think that is what’s screwing me up here. As of now, I simply can’t get my sketches to reliably upload to the boards. I honestly don’t think that the compile and upload process is even getting to a place in my code where…[Read more]

Well you are now into working deployment practice’s, beyond programming,
So how about simplifying (I think you’re process is getting complicated . IHMO all the guideline haven’t identified what happens when you actually have a successful program to deploy .)
Seems the question is for a successful working Mayfly logger program ….. and how t…[Read more]

Alright, I have no idea if this will help or not, but I think it’s important that I get this down for completeness.

Hey glad to have helped!!. Whew.!
Its a challenge sometime to figure out what the foundations are and build off them. I’ve had to do that before, start with a known should be working, and then slowly add to it to find out what came adrift. I often use Meld Merge to compare the base directories separately from PIO. There is a gitkraken plug…[Read more]

I may have found the problem, thanks to you. I had to create a new repo in order to share my code with you. When I open that new repo in VSC from Github desktop it compiles as you’ve described. I was starting to have a hunch that the problem was that I had branched from main to add some additional functionality and I thought that I could just…[Read more]

So good to play around with it, I asked bard.google.com a question that doesn’t have a lot written about it ..
“What is the quiescent power consumption of the Bristlemouth hardware”
AND it sounds coherent – however its “hallucinating” as not a google project. The 10milliwatts its quoting is the active transmission per Mhz.
I’ve got an open…[Read more]

Goodluck with tracking it down :), some cyber screw come loose.
Yes interesting to understand the basis of the technology. ChatGPT sounds coherent!! or as a “stochastic parrot”, have enough people written on the problem for it to be trained to sound coherent :).
A friend said they found it helps debug xls macros!!
Like handling a “kn…[Read more]

That definitely sounds more like what should be happening! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this, Neil. I will try to fix things on Monday when I’m back in my office and next to my sensors.
Just a funny addendum. I just created a ChapGPT account so that I could stay abreast of it in my teaching. Here is the text of my first chat:
