    I’d have to see the rest of your sketch to know what you’re trying to accomplish with the 5v output.  If you put the CTD sensor on the D4-5 jack, and move the jumper to constant 3.3v, then the SDI12 power pin part of the code doesn’t really matter, but that kind of stuff gets declared early in sketch, usually in the setup function.  The bigger problem will be if you’re trying to keep a 5v output line powered after you take a reading and the logger goes to sleep, because normally the logger shuts down all the pins before going to sleep between readings.
