We just had a very strong storm blow through. I have two receivers. The one that had been out of service for a while was just starting to ramp up again. I was watching the stats steadily improve. Then the storm hit, and activity dropped to zero. Investigating, I determined that the power supply was fried, so I replaced it with another, and the RPi zero starts up just fine. My local connection shows a map but no aircraft and Skyaware unknown version. Is the receiver fried? Or maybe I need to just re-image the SD card? If I do the latter, how can I continue with the same site ID: 24859.
Here’s what I can see of the logs (storm started around 18:30 local):
