      For my status, there is one site that started uploading, OK – which is good as its about 3hours drive time.

      One site that hasn’t updated. Its on private land and requires permission to enter the property, and its usually only done when there is a group of activities on the site. Its about one hour drive away.
      Both are on verizon.

      For my local test system, running over verizon I monitor the output of the connection process. Its having a lot of timeouts. The timeout is set to 5seconds.

        I’m seeing the same – and strange data losses been going on since 2021-12-03 20:15 PST,
        I’ve entered it as
        https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/issues/535

        I also asked three weeks ago how to do a test for a reliable data server
        https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/issues/524

        and over a year ago, I asked for what could a Reliable Delivery model algorithm look like

          Interesting, thanks for the post. I was wondering I’m not getting data posted from my units.
          However the data posted can be read, so seems only the backend has failed.
          The last readings are Dec. 7, 2021, 9:45 a.m. (UTC-08:00)

            Hey wow good to see. I’ve been experimenting on the staging version of this, and so the new TSA is much faster and slightly different, but soooo much better.!!.

            What I’ve seen is initially the new graphs draw a years worth of data and auto-range.
            It can be narrowed with the “Date Range” by clicking on Begin – and selecting a new start date. Then clicking Update Plot.
            New sensors can be added through the “Add series” – with gorgeous colours.
            Zooming in on data can be performed with visual selection – that is click on graph, hold mouse button down and move cursor, then release cursor

              Thanks for the link –
              Just helped two people/students connect their windows machines to the Mayfly USB-C CP210x
              – both required the installation of the “CP210x Windows Drivers”
              from https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers then Downloads

                Oh interesting I hadn’t seen the PYsync

                In EnviroDIY_DS3231\examples\PCsync\PYsync.py

                There is a line looking for the port
                # Keep only ports with the device communication type
                device_ports = [
                p for p in ports
                if ‘VID_0403+PID_6001’ in p[2]
                ]

                From device manager, PORTS , Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART
                In Events
                I see
                Device USB\VID_10C4&PID_EA60\0001 requires further installation.

                Don’t know whether that will work

                  James, gosh nice to see systems up and going, seems like the TSA interface is being rebuilt

                    For my fork https://github.com/neilh10/ModularSensors/releases/tag/v0.30.0.release1_211023
                    I got the WiFi S6 communicating reliably, and its been testing for over a couple of weeks.
                    It seems on going to sleep, it really wasn’t doing what was necessary to be able to sleep. It seemed to be leaving TCP/IP links setup. Which then depending on network timers, might be there when it wakes up. If the sleep time was short enough it would still have the link available. Since it used to work, probably what happened was a timer somewhere else (MMW) was reduced. The cure in the end was on sleep, change the destination IP to local:, and then sw reset the device. Then when it wakes up, it reconnects to the SSID, and then setups up the TCP/IP to the remote MMW.
                    https://github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors/issues/347 describes the issue

                      Thanks for sharing. Great project and good to hear benefits of low cost networking.:) Good luck with it.

                        Always a lot of work getting a new revision out and running compatibility tests. I’ve admired the way
                        Paul Stoffregen of PRJC created a fishbowl for the releases, one I remember with the Teensy had a process of managing/advertising the release and being clear about it being in beta https://forum.pjrc.com/threads/27689-Teensy-LC-Beta-Testing


                        @shicks
                        (and sarad) I wonder if that would work to help?. I’m sure some people don’t want to touch it until the kinks are ironed out, and others happy to volunteer to be on the cutting edge (hopefully not too much of a bleeding edge).
                        Of course, with a fish bowl, and keen interest in the hardware, its always nice to see the list of tasks to be completed before releasing, and how far through them, and then don’t have to ask every two weeks how its going 🙂
