Hello Olivier, and welcome back to the community!
Thank you for the logs and your Shake location details. From the files you’ve sent, the booting process is fine, and the Shake bot starts and enables the OFF-LINE mode without problems. However, these lines tell us that there is something going on between the boards and the sensors:
2023 318 19:45:02>> internal error: buffer overflow! cannot process read data...

As you can see, there are errors mixed with some ‘gibberish’ that cannot be successfully interpreted. My first thought would be (when you have the chance to go visit this off-grid installation) to check and see if the current solar panels power supply you are using is continuing to deliver a stable voltage between 5.0 and 5.2V and a current of at least 2.5A at all times, as a decrease in power could lead to data services interruption. As the data interruptions have continued to happen during the past month or so, I can assume that there are instances in which these tresholds are not met, and the Shake behaves in the way you are seeing.
A second check that you can do is to see if all the connections between the sensor, the blue Shake board, and the Pi board are still solid and free from dirt or any other element that could compromise transmission. As usual, if you decide to disassemble the Shake when doing this, please make sure you are using proper ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) protection (such as gloves, etc.), as electronics do not like static electricity too much.
As a last resort, and if all these checks come out as positive, then I would recommend bringing with you a newly re-burned microSD card, and see how the Shake behaves with a freshly-installed system, removing potential issues derived from corrupted files. I will leave the burning instructions link here for your convenience: microSD card topics
As a final note, if a GPS was installed with this Shake, it is also not acquiring good time data, as these other lines suggest:
2023 318 19:35:20>> Time adjustment M0: HARD RESET. This will result in a one-time time-tear.
2023 318 19:35:20>> 5.0: NTP Time (Init): NTP: 1699990520.111477613
2023 318 19:35:20>> 5.2: NTP Sync (HARD): VEL Before: 1699990278.601999998 After: 1699990519.851000071 Diff: 241.249000072
This, too, can be related to insufficient power supply, so I would say that, as soon as it’s possible, you (or someone else) should go there and check the installation to see if everything is OK with the power supply of this Shake.
Thank you for these wise tips. We will prepare accordingly for a next mission on site.
