Working with the Solar AQI unit, I am looking at changing the update frequency from once every 15-20 minutes to once every 5 minutes.
I looked at the Arduino sketch and found the SLEEPXXXX variable that puts the reading delay in the loop. Before flashing the board, does anyone have other advice or ideas.
I can establish a port connection [Serial Scanners says we are operating at 115K baud ] however I am looking for info on the Arduino board type, flashing tips, etc

That is the right place to change it. Remember you will be burning more power by doing that! Watch your solar power data to see if you can support that rate. If is a problem, add another panel with a panel joiner. SNIPPED BP I am hoping with the TX Sun and the panel mounted on the roof facing South the panel can keep up. Right now (mid day) the sun is maxing out the panel loadvoltage: 5.008 batteryvoltage: 4.104 batterycurrent: -198 loadcurrent: 82.2 solarpanelvoltage: 4.824 solarpanelcurrent: 314.4 These are the current stats, we had 2 days of rain so cloud filtered sun until 10AM this morning.

That looks really good! You may get away with it.
