Hi Harrison!

Thank you for your suggestions!
I tried to establish communication while unplugging the reactor from control board. This is what I saw. It seems to be working but once I plugged in the reactor, the same error message showed up again.
So I guess the problem originated from the reactor? Lab Maker rep said they will fix the problem after we send it back. Can I requested a replacement for the reactor while the old one is being fixed?

Tried that and it seemed that we can still communicate with the beagle board using PC. But still the same error message.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened. The reactor was running OK for 36h but the OD sensor started to become unstable. It eventually threw off the automatic OD maintenance algorithm due to the instability. Once this sudden jump of the OD was observed, we had to stopped the program and the error occurred after trying to reestablish communication.
Yes, I have only one reactor but planning on getting more if we could get it to work. Any suggestions to fix the problem? Do we have to need to send the reactor back to lab maker to get it fixed? or can we borrow one from the lab maker while we are trying to figure out the problem? Thank you!

Thank you for your suggestions. I tried to use ethanol to clean the sensing track and the rest of the reactor chamber carefully, but the problem persisted. It gave the same error message when I tried to establish communication. Any other suggestions? I reinstalled the latest image for the beagle board but it did not help either. Is there we could know whether this is a software problem or a hardware problem? Thank you!

Best,
Yi

Yes. Communication was once established using a newer PC where the beaglebone driver was not installed probably due to security issue. Logging in info was requested back then and it seemed that we can enter the system but the chi bio operation system was not there. I had to use a older computer where the driver for beaglebone could be successfully installed and we also have the micro SD card ready this time. But surprisingly, now I cannot establish communication in either computer I had.
