We installed a Mayfly out at the border of a forest/marsh last week and everything went fine. I tested our loggers in our University’s greenhouse and it seemed like our batteries/solar panels were working just well. However, in the field, one of our loggers pretty much ran out of juice within the span of like an hour. We ended up replacing it with…[Read more]

Here are the results with the blue spirulina that has a known phycocyanin concentration (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XC7KSRP?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title). PPB readings are still off.
Campbell ClariVUE10 reporting intervals seems to be resolved when I went back to a library I downloaded back in Nov 2024 but kept the SRC-sensors folder from…[Read more]

No, LiFePO4 batteries should never be used with a Mayfly board because the onboard charging circuitry is only designed to work with 3.7v Lithium Ion packs. There’s a summary of important battery information and options here: https://www.envirodiy.org/battery-options-mayfly/

Has anyone tried hooking up Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries to the mayfly boards? I am wondering if the built in charge controller would be compatible with this chemistry.
Any other recommendations for batteries would be greatly appreciated as well!

Hey Ryan,
A UCB student ran research group I founded called the Strawberry Creek Monitoring Group will be transitioning to a decentralized LoRaWan network called helium networks using mayfly boards. They will be starting work on this in the next few months. We can keep you up to date on our progress if you like! Also, we already built a alarm…[Read more]

We have been testing out the Turner C-FLUOR (PC) PHYCOCYANIN sensor and getting mixed results where we are not sure if it is the sensor, sketch, or something else.
When measuring pure di water we are getting readings of around 5 – 6 ppb in both an opaque jar and open jar with the sensor in a shade cap.
We bought blue spirulina (…[Read more]

Hello Shannon,
I am with Digi International – I wanted to check in to see if you were able to get our new XBee modules working on the Mayfly. If you need more information, I can connect you with Tech Support or an FAE who can provide any information you need.
We’re excited to see this XBee application, and we appreciate you working with our products!
