Hello Group

I have two major issues and one minor issue:

Major issues:
  1. My reading says 'BATTERY LOW' and '' but the battery appears fine and I can run the bgeigie for a few hours without issue.
  2. My reading says 'NO LOGGER' and I do not see any log files being produced.

Minor issue:
  1. The little switch in the top left corner of the machine seems to do nothing.


Background:
  1. The machine powers on, eventually acquires GPS lock, can connect to the Android app on my phone via Bluetooth, and I have successfully submitted two or three such logs via the phone app.
  2. I have charged the battery for many hours but there is still no change in the 'Battery stuck at 1%' and 'BATTERY LOW' readings.
  3. Other users also have the 'Battery stuck at 1%' issue: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/safecast-devices/h5YfmvZG5sU
  4. I have verified that R1 and R2 are correct (as is suggested as a possible problem in the '1% issue' link).
  5. I have verified that the two files on the SD card are as they should be, in particular that the device ID matches my machine (and in accordance to https://github.com/Safecast/bGeigieNanoKit/tree/master/SD%20card and https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/safecast-devices/mrdk7YfY3dk/14DT8JSsCAAJ)
  6. I finally just assembled this machine after buying it many years ago.
  7. I have not yet tried to update the firmware, and am still awaiting the cable to do so.
Can anyone help me?

Regards,

Bernard
