I’d like a health check on a boom - AM.RE805
I know the 1D at this site is dead, I’m not too sure whether the boom is still up to par.
They are seperate units - the boom was bought after the shake 1D.
Why am I asking?
Condensation and electric currents erode copper very (too) effectively! The raspberry Pi’s are dead, the 1D sensor board is lacking a few critical copper links (plated through holes, and chip pins) while the boom sensor board appears to be unscathed! Could I be so lucky?
I don’t think the boom has ever displayed a graph in the local station view - see image. I always meant to ask about that - and I guess now I am.
The logs are attached.
It’s uploading something to the dataview site. If I toggle the Clip and RMS options it shows it’s picking up something (as it sits on the desk next to me here.)

Hello graibeard, and welcome back to the community.
From what I can see via the DataView link you posted, the infrasound sensor of RE805 seems to be working and performing as expected. The Boom is still online and transmitting data as this UTC morning.
From the logs (thank you for uploading them) it seems that something is “out of place”, for example:
2026 196 09:38:02: Discovered Instrument: RBOOM.Bm
2026 196 09:38:03: Unable to find an eth[0-9] or wlan[0-9] interface with a valid default route
2026 196 09:38:03: Ethernet is OFF and WiFi is OFF
But the instrument is clearly on and transmitting data as we have seen.
This may indicate some form of microSD card corruption, that could be also be impacting the missing Activity Preview display you have highlighted.
I would advise to re-burn a completely new microSD after formatting and erasing all its data/partitions (you can use DISKPART for this, as it is very efficient), and then see how the Shake behaves with the newly installed system. I will leave the link to the burning instructions here for your convenience: microSD card topics.
Regarding the RS1D instead, as you mention condensation erosion, do you have pictures of the boards you can send us so I can forward them to our hardware department?
Thank you.
