From your error messages, it looked like you have mismatched versions of libraries. I’m not sure how permissions are set up on your PC, but typically the Arduino libraries would be stored in a personal user folder that you could change at…[Read more]

We downloaded them on Dec. 1 2025 and we had to let Penn State IT department download them because I am using a PSU computer. I have a feeling that PSU firewall or IT security may be part of the issue.

I personally haven’t used any Sandisk Ultras with our loggers, so I can’t say how it performs. This guy did a really great test last year with a variety of microSD cards and summarized his findings (particularly on idle current) in a really helpful list: https://neurotechhub.wustl.edu/micro-sd-card-low-power-showdown-part-ii/

Have you had success with the Sandisk ultras? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1593899-REG/sandisk_sdsqua4_032g_an6ia_imaging_ultra_32gb.html
Looks like they are the next step from the basic Sandisk. thanks

Genuine Sandisk and Kingston cards have served us well, not drawing excessive power when the board is sleeping, and being reliable over many years in field deployments. What we’ve seen issues with is generic cards from random manufacturers because they either fail and corrupt the data after a short time, or they draw 5 or 10 times more power…[Read more]

Hi,
Is there a new recommended micro sd card? It is getting harder to find regular SanDisk 8 or 16gb cards. From what I read on the forum, higher capacity cards might draw more power. These cards are from third party sellers that I don’t really trust: Amazon.com: Sandisk SDSDQM-016G-B35 16GB MicroSDHC Memory Card, Class 4 (RETAIL PACKAGE) :…[Read more]

Hi,
I am doing my first installations outside the vicinity of my University campus. I have obtained permission form the local water agency and an conservation org associated with the creek where we will be doing installations. I am wondering if there are any additional permits that are required for installations that follow the outline in the…[Read more]
