      I am hoping that we can use AT&T or Verizon cellular.  That will make things simpler(maybe).  But it’s nice to get a toolbox of useable solutions if they are needed.

        Thanks for this answer, too.    It is most appreciated.

          Thanks for the great answers.   These are really helpful.  There are so many things to dig into with this system.  It is easy to miss some of your notes and instructions.   I am finding that it requires a lot of deep diving into information.    I am trying to build a process for our folks to follow that will be simple to understand.   There are a lot of people with no hardware or Unix experience. We are also going to have to get all the data manually and upload manually.  There is no cell service in 99% of our device locations.

            When I first received the Mayfly V 1.1 a few weeks ago, I hooked up the all of the connections: Battery, Solar Panel, and sensor.  Everything worked fine.   Over the last week I have noticed that the yellow solar charging LED is not lit when the Sun is out.  However looking at the CSV generated file the voltage is higher like the panel is charging the battery and the voltage is lower when the Sun is down.

            I have checked the Solar Panel to external cable connection, the connection to the Mayfly board.  Everything looks OK.

            Is the LED light just burned out?  Does the board have a malfunction?  Or do I just keep an eye on the voltage levels like I am doing?

            Thanks for your help, Roger

              This may have been asked already.

              The Mayfly v1.1 board.  What is the temperature range that this board can stand for a closed up box?   Also, we have the 4400mAh LIPO battery, Operating and charging with the solar panel.  What is the min and max temperatures can this battery stand with a closed up box?

              Thanks,

              Rogers
