Ok, thank you Shannon.

Thanks, I turned the solar panel hoping to get more sunlight.

I’m sorry for the duplication however I did several searches prior to posting but apparently I didn’t include the key words, nothing came up. I didn’t suspect the battery because of the issue with the dates changing from 9/26 to 9/24 on the display on the website as the last data dump and there were two different dates on the same data line (see attached jpegs).

Yes, Neil I agree. I should have thought of that. There’s nothing being recorded so it would make sense that it’s the processor that failed. I do have a spare processor. I’ll have to try replacing it. That would probably be the easiest thing to try.
Thanks for your help. It’s greatly appreciated.

Hi Neil,

The unit is a water monitoring station that has a CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) sensor in the stream, in a remote section of the stream’s headwaters and the electronics are in a Pelican Box on the stream bank, mounted to an iron pipe. (see photos below) The only wires coming out run from the pelican box to the sensor and from the box to the solar panel that powers the unit. The second photo was taken during installation and is not, at final assembly, run across the huge rock in the photo, the cable runs slightly under the surface of the ground and into the sensor in the water. The inside of the box that houses the circuit board seems fine. I didn’t detect any odor that would indicate that something inside burnt up. In fact it looks completely normal. That’s why I was wondering if it could be the actual sensor that is located in the water. The unit has been in operation for more than a year and working well all along.

Thanks Heather! I think I’ve got in now. 🙂

Thanks Heather! Sorry, I can’t keep all of the forums straight. 🙁

Just wanted to let the folks at Stroud know that I did finally get the Mayfly up and running and I was getting the data sent directly to the Monitor My Watershed site. Thank you all for all of your help I couldn’t have done it without you! Now all I have to do is install it. It’s going on the Lackawanna River and is being co-located with the USGS flow monitoring station so that I can use their flow data to correlate with my data. Now working on unit #3!

Thanks again, all!

Great! Thanks Shannon!!

I have the Com Port coming up now but when I try to run the board temp or now sketches I get an error message “Invalid version ‘0.28.01’ for library in: C:\Users\cnolan\Documents\Arduino\libraries\EnviroDIY_ModulatSensors” and the red light does not blink alternately with the green. I only get a blinking green light.

This is what I get when I copy the error message:

Thanks, I was more than 3/4 of the way through the two 3-hour workshops that Shannon Hicks recorded and had all of the parts connected and all but the Interfacing With Monitor My Watershed and the Final Steps left to go when this happened. I had about 50 minutes of the 6 hour workshop to go. Everything was connected and working fine until I found I was missing one line of code and I put my glasses down on the desk and touched the corner of the antenna.
