I took a quick google and it looks like you're not the only one having this issue with the older IDE running on Mac. They say upgrading the IDE is the solution but that probably won't work for you, but you could try creeping up IDE versions till it does and hopefully find one that still works with the Libraries supplied by Werk_AG. Another option might be to find an old Windows PC somewhere. That will definitely run it.

I was able to use the Windows 10 partition on my 2012 macbook, completely forgot that's what I had to do last time. All is now well! Kind of surprised the nano died, it was a sold under the name Elegco, no idea what killed it but it would work for two hours or so after resetting then stop transmitting. Seems like it may be worthwhile to figure out a way to get the system to work on non-legacy os's, but this is exactly the reason I keep my old stuff around!

Thanks for your help Uncle Bob!

Well now the new one is behaving strangely, lasted about 7 hours until it stopped transmitting, responded to a reset and started transmitting again, super strange. I checked the voltage to the board, its at 13.7v as it has been all along, anyone got a guess as to what my issue might be? 

Thanks!

Hi Zac,

I may be suggesting something you already did, but as I'm not seeing your config_options.h file a take the risk...

Once you are no more testing the board, make sure to compile the code with all the debug options commented, this saves a lot of memory on the Nano. Try it and let me know.

Hi Werke, the debug options were already commented out, I reset it again and it has been running for about 2.5 days now, operating as expected except it dropped out for 2 minutes this morning at 0:50, I don't imagine that is of any significance:

   

Apparently we lost internet for a few hours last night so the Weatherunderground plot shows no data for a while, should you look at that, Cumulus shows good data since the reset. I've attached the config file so you have it,

Thanks for the help!

Hi Zac,

Thanks for the Config_Options.h file, everything seems right there.
The TX firmware is very stable and can run for years without a crash, the most frequent issue which can cause a crash is with the connection to the Temp./Humidity sensor, thus the use of the I2C extender circuit in both ends of the cable, one part of that circuit is on the TX board the other is done by the small adaptor supplied with each TX board.

I gave a wiring to the temp sensor a tug and the nano crashed and stopped transmitting, pretty convinced that's my issue! I secured the sensor by glueing the 4 pin connector down as I had just left it dangling in the radiation shield, obviously not a good practice but it was working until recently, I'll probably order a new sensor board and crimp a new connector on as the sensor I have does not have the teflon guard on it.

Thanks for your help!
