jaredwolff Thanks Jared I’ll try the serial console.
Yes the device during Cloud flash downloads something as indicated by purple flashing and flash/reconnect messages in the Particle console.
But having downloaded it, there is no indication that it is actually running anything.
There are obviously some functional differences between the Boron and the Argon.

jchisholm59 There are obviously some functional differences between the Boron and the Argon.
It’s the same nRF52840 processor. Functionally it’s cellular vs wifi. I think there’s something funky going on with your setup or maybe you’re flashing to the wrong device? I would double confirm that the board ID you’re using to flash in the bottom right hand corner of VSCode is the same you’re trying to write to.
Looking forward to the results with Particle Monitor.
I did take an Argon out of service to try it on my end. It took about 4 minutes to fully update everything including the app.

Another thing you can try also, is flashing a working sample with the same DeviceOS version to make sure the device is still working ok.
Also, can you send a picture of your hardware setup?
Well I’ll be forked.
Lovely Nova Scotia storm last night knocked out the power and crashed my trusty Linux box.
I fired up a backup and went through the build again on the second computer.
Can’t see how that should make a difference but..
It’s working !!
Thanks for all your support.
Now on to the second pertinent topic:
Since my data is being held hostage by Particle.Io who are telling me that my Sandbox is about to expire but they’ll be happy to $ell me an expensive upgrade, have you had any success with writing a webhook that will sucessfully talk to a local Telegraf instance and push it’s data into InfluxDB ?
I’ve spent counless days trying this, my local up-to-date Telegraf with the Particle plugin enabled will apparently accept the blob from Particle but never outputs any data to my InfluxDB instance.
There are a million opinions on what a working webehook should be but none actually seem to work properly.
I’ll try your Google Sheets idea.
The Adafriot IO as well as an Ubidots web hook do work however.
Cheers
Jim
jchisholm59 that’s great news!!!

I’m a big fan of InfluxDB. I actually wrote something up a while back on the subject. Plus, it’s Particle oriented. So that should help!
jaredwolff Man that write-up is awesome.
If I can get Particle to write directly to my InfluxDB instance I’ll be a happy camper.
- Edited
That’s what I did there. Give it a try and let me know how it went.
on my Digital Ocean account:
(From your directions)
docker run –rm -e INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED=true -e INFLUXDB_DB=particle -e INFLUXDB_ADMIN_ENABLED=true -e INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER=admin -e INFLUXDB_USER=grafana -v influxdb:/var/lib/influxdb influxdb /init-influxdb.sh
/entrypoint.sh: line 340: /init-influxdb.sh: No such file or directory
That tutorial is a few years old. You may have to check out the instructions on the docker Influx image here: https://hub.docker.com/_/influxdb/
OMG it’s working on my home InfluxDB 
jchisholm59 nice!!
jaredwolff BTW you did a great job on that 3D box design.
Thanks jchisholm59
