The WoFpy end-point should be usable. Can you give an example URL that you’re trying?

Can you explain what issues you’re having?

Mostly the cables we put in are armored – 3/4″ flexible and can be joined easly – something like https://www.lowes.com/pd/HydroMaxx-3-4-in-x-50-ft-Black-Flexible-PVC-Pipe/1002884464
Also seen cables chewed by squirrels .

Hi @khaase I haven’t figured out what the source of the reset is, as the AVR1284 Arduino code discards it – very frustrating.
I have used low ESR capacitors – something like Digikey 732-9079-1-ND CAP ALUM 680UF 20% 10V THRU HOLE LOW ESR
Whenever I have longer wires, a power switch, or current measurement, with the LiIon battery, I get some…[Read more]
