Thanks for your thoughts Neil.

These blips are occurring over the course of hours (roughly 4-6 hours from when depth starts dropping until it reaches it’s lowest point) though the time varies by occurrence.

They seem to be happening as temperature approaches the freezing point. I’ve attached a graph with temp for reference.

Hi Shannon. So I just received a few more panels. The stereo jack cables are going in relatively easily with these. I think I received some damaged hardware, causing the stereo jack cable to be very difficult to get plugged in. And causing a bad connection to the logger.

Thanks Shannon. I was actually talking about the stereo jack. See attached image.

Since we transitioned to the new panels it has been very difficult to get the stereo jack from the panel plugged into that adapter cable. Any recommendations on that are welcome.

Any tricks on getting the new solar panel jacks plugged into the 2-pin adapter cable? They are really difficult to get in and I’m wondering if something was damaged while it was being plugged in due to the effort of getting the plug seated.

Thanks Shannon. I did swap the battery when I swapped the logger. I am using the matte finish panel. Also, I went to the EnviroDIY knowledge base parts list and clicked the link for the panel there. The link sends me to the old panel on Adafruit rather than the new panel we are using.

I believe everything is plugged in to the correct ports on the Mayfly but we can double check. I’ve noticed those new panels are difficult to plug in, so maybe something happened. there. I can also swap out the 2-pin cable connecting the panel to the Mayfly to see if that is the issue. Thanks again.

I just ordered a couple more sensors today and got this message from Meter “HYDROS 21s are currently on stop ship due to issues with EC readings. Our team is hoping to have this resolved soon.”

It is working now. Thank you!

I’ve been using a braided sleeving to protect against critter damage. https://www.cabletiesandmore.com/rodent-resistant-braided-sleeving?pid=3697
