NO SD CARD/ GPS reset #51

Open kubelwagen opened 5 years ago

kubelwagen commented 5 years ago

I let the battery completely drain on my bgeige nano (1.3.5) while mounted on my car. The next morning I plugged it into USB to charge it and didn't realize the power switch was on, so I immediately shut it off.

Upon full charge, I powered the unit on and now am getting "NO SD CARD/ GPS reset". Bluetooth will connect, but Safecast:Drive is displaying "Err. Data". Unit is writing files to SD card (config.txt, log000**.TXT), so I know the SD card is good. I also tried another SD card, same result. I'm also seeing different LED behaviour on the card reader when the SD card is plugged in vs being unplugged.

I know the manual is careful to point out the unit should never receive USB power while switched on. Could this have caused damage in some way?

If the SDcard shows log000*.txt the config file can be wrong. One more thing to check if the safacast.txt(setup info) is on the sdcard.

safecast.txt exists on the old card:

nm=bGeigie did=2948 gt=0 gm=0 cpmf=334 cpmn=Cs137 bqmf=37 bqmn=Cs137 al=150 tz=4 cn=US st=0 ss=0 sh=100 sm=0 cw=60

I tried copying it to the new card as well, same result.

config.txt exists on both the old card and the freshly formatted new card after running. On the old card, it's blank. On the new card, it shows:

9600,26,3,0,1,1,0 baud,escape,esc#,mode,verb,echo,ignoreRX

Any other suggestions? I haven't been contributing to the project since this issue and I would live to get back into safecasting.

Hi, have the same issue from the start (100% battery) "NO SD CARD/ GPS reset"

iOS :DriveCast message "awaiting a first measurement from BLEBee 0F097C91" still appears on screen but no data come. Android :SafeCast Drive successfully connected to the bGeigie but the message "Err. Data" appears.

Hope this issue would be resolved Regards
