Maintenance Trip on 08/17. Replaced heltec and battery was shorting. Went down again 08/28. Sensor was working fine but was back into config mode. Went back out on 08/31 and reprogrammed the sensor. We think the config issue might be do to some error in firmware. Downloaded and uploaded the latest firmware. This sensor is also noisy. Might be do it being mounted at 3meters which is relatively higher than usual sensors. As distance increases the maxbotix has more room for error. Need to observe this sensor a little more and might need to change its mounting distance.
