Argos Artic_R2 not find data in ArgosWeb (Artic_R2 Example17)

SPARK-X

Hi @tanggg,

We learned recently that some ARTIC R2 boards had been incorrectly programmed with the wrong Platform ID. Each board has two IDs: a decimal one which you use to access your data on ArgosWeb; and a hexadecimal one which is embedded in each satellite uplink message. These boards had been incorrectly programmed with the decimal ID instead of the hexadecimal one. You can tell if your board is affected by calling readPlatformID(). If the true hexadecimal ID is returned, all is well. If the value is the decimal ID - expressed in hexadecimal - then your board requires reprogramming as your messages will not be delivered. Please return your board ( https://www.sparkfun.com/returns ). We will reprogram it and return it to you quickly. I know you are already using a new ID, but if you would like us to reprogram the board anyway, please return it to us. We apologise for the error and the inconvenience.

Best wishes,

Paul

When I run the example code he mentioned, it tells me my ID is 0x227264. My platform ID is 227264 and my hex code is 3674800. Is my board programmed wrong?

Hello Joshua,

Apologies. Yes. Your board is programmed incorrectly. Please return the board to us and we will reprogram it. Or, if it is already soldered into your project, let me know and I will send you a software work-around.

Apologies again,

Paul

Our team has ordered 3 boards. All 3 were programmed wrong. Can you explain the software work around? We returned two, but we have one that we would like to test.

Hi Joshua,

I will send you a private message with the instructions.

Best wishes,

Paul
