Hi Tom,
Well that was no joy and I can't talk to the Davis console with minicom.
I'm using the USB version of the logger, should have mentioned that before
(and I did try a new USB logger). I'm thinking something in the file system
got corrupted with the unexpected shutdown. Maybe the next course of action
is to completely rebuild the Fitlet. Ugh.
