Yes, Neil I agree. I should have thought of that. There’s nothing being recorded so it would make sense that it’s the processor that failed. I do have a spare processor. I’ll have to try replacing it. That would probably be the easiest thing to try.
Thanks for your help. It’s greatly appreciated.

Hi Cheryl, nice pics, good to have a record.

Typically on pressing reset, the LEDs dance red/green for a few seconds.  The orange light would seem to indicate its getting power from the solar panel and charging the battery.

From the pictures it would seem that any “Static electricity” lightening would be channeled by the vegetation around…[Read more]

Hi Neil,

The unit is a water monitoring station that has a CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) sensor in the stream, in a remote section of the stream’s headwaters and the electronics are in a Pelican Box on the stream bank, mounted to an iron pipe. (see photos below) The only wires coming out run from the pelican box to the sensor and from…[Read more]

Hello Cheryl. I wonder could you say what its setting is. What is the geography, what wires are coming out, and how is it powered?

For electronics any form of excess voltage on processor pins can cause the device to fail. However its very difficult to figure out exactly what the cause is, as they say it can be complicated.    You can inspect it v…[Read more]

Thanks Shannon.

Even I had the same issue and LTE adapter wouldn’t power up. Following your instructions it works now.

Many thanks.

The shipment arrived a few days ago, I’ll be documenting the new hardware and finishing the changes to the website later this week and hopefully have them available in the shop next week.

Hello @shicks.  Just wondering if you can give any insight as to the process, when you think you might be able to tell us about what the new revision looks like, or possibly any visibility on when it might be available, and the process gates you are going through.  I realize some times this is a bit like asking how long is a piece of string, and h…[Read more]

Problem solved. As Sara has noted before, the AltSoftSerial can only use pin 6 on the Mayfly for receiving and pin 5 for transmitting. So, while the sketch worked with Software Serial as shown above (and would have worked by defining pin 6 for transmitting and pin 5 for receiving), my pairing of the sensor rx and tx wires to the Grove jack was…[Read more]

I’m struggling to use AltSoftSerial in place of Software Serial to connect an Atlas-Scientific Color sensor to a Mayfly. The script below successfully communicates and reports sensor data as expected with Software Serial (with lines 21 and 26 active instead of lines 22 and 27 as shown below). As shown below I don’t get any data from the sensor.…[Read more]

So it worked for me. I took @ensign  basic structure, and added it as an extension in the Class Logger, and then attached it to the two SerialCommands LR and L?

LoggerBase SD Class extension

and

LoggerBase SD methods

Hi I’ve been thinking/working on something slightly similar when @ensign posted above.

BTW I found the github.com/ScottEnsign/SDoutput hasn’t got the actual code, I think it probably needs a “git push” to send the code up.

Seems to me the issue with the @selbig  original post #15641 above, is that the SD card is initialized in Logger, so  S…[Read more]

Thanks for the quick reply, Shannon. I was able to get the cables and the adapter all working, following your instructions.
