@BDub I’m having issues with the Electron not reconnecting or reaching Cellular.ready() after the Electron has been in deep sleep mode for a few days of bad weather.
So the SOC stays below 20% for 2+ Days while the Electron wakes up every hour to check if the SOC has risen above 20% and it can do this for 20 days before depleting the battery.
Today the sun is out and the Electron is solar charged up to 38% and tries to run the publish code but it can not get past the Cellular.connect(); > Cellular.ready(); so it never starts sending data again unless I manually hit the reset button.
I unplugged the battery and then plugged it back in and I did not get the dark blue flash that indicates a bad or missing SIM card. After hitting reset a couple times the Electron connects and sends data again.
So I’m wondering if there is code I can call to reset the cellular modem without causing large data handshake penalties? My code is below if you want to take a look.
