Thanks.

I see some sites came back online @ 7:15 UTC but some are still reporting out.

Well, I thought I would look deeper, but it’s pretty much Greek to me. The console has a lot that I won’t even pretend to understand, but the only differences I notice are in the attachments provided.

Definitely works with an incognito tab but not a standard tab (in Chrome – Firefox works fine for me).

For what it is worth. I was using Chrome.

Have you tried again since you posted this?

I just tried and it worked for me.

@neilh20 re: #13915

I had seen that post on the $3 EC meter several months ago and experimented with building a variation of that sensor but had little success.  Thought that it might be better to buy something that already works, to better understand it, and not try to reinvent the wheel.

I would love to see what you come up with for a ModularSensors class. I might give it another try.

Thanks Jim.

In my case (manual upload), it looks like some of this might have been avoided by not uploading data out of order? Though that would probably not be possible for sites that transmit the data via cellular.

Hmm, turning on the console never occurred to me. I will have to remember that one.

Thanks for your insight and knowledge Sara. I appreciate all of the useful conversation.

I think that sensitivity is a good thing when collecting data and I want the system to tell me I am doing something wrong. If I could change anything, it might be to tell me what I am doing wrong.

Either way, this was a case of “User Error” and Bad Practice Management.  I need to get my logger updated so that the .cvs file it is producing is in the EXACT format it needs to be for uploading. Then I don’t have to fiddle with copy&paste and run the risk of corrupting or altering the data inadvertently.

Well, I have pretty much answered my own question.

After doing some searching on GitHub, I came across Issue #303 ( Allow POST of data, even when one variable UUID is wrong), which got me looking hard at the .csv data I was trying to upload. It really didn’t become clear to me until I grabbed some new data from the sensor last night.

If you have four headers defined (time, water temp, voltage, board temp) and you drop the last one so there are only three data fields, the upload will fail. Just one of the pitfalls of touching the data too much.

Funny in a way because I had changed the code in my logger (some time ago) to output the exact format I need to upload but haven’t been out to the sensor to upload the new code.

Thanks for the verification Matt.

I was aware that large files can be a problem.  I am trying to upload 2 days worth of readings (about 290 lines) but see your file is even smaller.
