Thank you.  I’ll check out the tutorial.

There are preloaded sketches for temp, depth, turbidity, and conductivity from the board’s previous deployment.

I set the baud rate following the instructions in the on-line mayfly manual.  I’ll go over your tutorial and let you know if that succeeded in smartening me up.

thanks again!

I’m using Arduino 1.8.19.

I’ve tried uploading a sketch (various ones) and get a not in sync error message that repeats 10x.  Entire error message below…

Now don’t kick me, but I don’t know what “looking at it through a serial monitor” means.  I do have it set to 57600 baud.

the port reads as follows (on my MacBook) port:”/dev/cu.Bluetooth-incoming-Port”. serial port above that is greyed out.  I don’t see any usb options.

thanks so much for your help and guidance!

This report would have more information with

Hi Beth,
No kicking involved when folks are trying to help!
I have tried toggling the on/off switch… no luck.
The leds do their flashy bit to let me know that the device is alive in there somewhere – and the amber light glows brightly to show that the battery is charging – but no communication b/t pc or mac.
