I hope you got my whatsapp text. Weather station is collecting data. I was able to fix the GPS by opening up the window so it doesnt crush the wire. I figured it out after retracing my steps. I was about to go to sleep and wanted to make sure the windows were closed tight. I never had that happen to me before. The Iridium wasn't working Wednesday night till Thursday afternoon. I shut everything off before but this time I did it for a longer period of time. I turned the computers off first. Then, I unplugged the Iridium interface box (I did that last time trying to get GPS back up and I lost Iridium). I plugged back Iridium first. Then, turned on both computer. I got internet from the boat just in case I dont get Iridium working. get_messages takes forever or it gets stuck. I only have 120 minutes of internet and have already used up 30 minutes. I will still use this but even now, get_messages loses connection.

Also, I forgot most of the things to do on the serial port terminal. I remember USB0, 19200, ate and thats it.

We are on the move but they are planning to stop on Sunday. I will test out the AL once more. My back is feeling a little bit better.

I saw that you transmitted the rest of the XBT files and the profiles look good.
I guess you figured it out? Let me know.

Also, make sure the weather station is collecting data. There should be a file per day.

I hope things improve out there.
