I got my Mooshimeter out after a long time in storage. Its batteries were dead, so I put in new alkalines. My XT1049 Moto X connects to the meter, and it shows a signal strength and battery level, but the readings for internal temperature and voltage DC are stuck on LOADING forever. I can’t get the meter to show any real readings.
I tried reflashing the firmware, but that did not solve the problem.
I was running the Android beta app, but I uninstalled that and installed the normal app from the Play store, but that also did not fix this.
Is my meter dead? Anything else I can try? Thanks!
I’m looking at the PCB, and I see a glob of what looks like melted plastic on pins 12 to 15 of the ADS1292. What might have caused it to be destroyed?
I think I see the problem. A dead AA battery leaked on the PCB.
After washing the board in diluted white vinegar, rinsing in tap water, and drying overnight, my meter is working well again.
