Shannon Hicks replied to the topic How to determine battery and power supply in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 1 years, 1 months ago
Standard practice is that when the Mayfly board goes to sleep in between measurements, it turns off all power supplied to the sensors and radio module. So the power consumed when sleeping is just the bare minimum to keep the Mayfly in sleep mode, which is usually a little less than 1 milliamp. There are ways to make it use even less in sleep m…[Read more]
Shannon Hicks replied to the topic Widespread cellular network outage today in the forum Monitor My Watershed 1 years, 1 months ago
It appears that the Hologram service interruption has been fixed and almost all of the cellular stations on Monitor My Watershed have returned to normal operation. If any stations don’t rejoin the network by later today, it might require a field visit to cycle the power or possibly replace the battery.

Hi everyone, I’m wondering what is the best way to determine how much power I need to supply to run my Mayfly and the sensors attached, and how I properly size batteries and solar panels. The sensors I have attached that require power are 3 Meter Teros 12 sensors and 1 MaxBotix sonar sensor.
For the Meter sensors, the datasheet says that the…[Read more]
Shannon Hicks started the topic Widespread cellular network outage today in the forum Monitor My Watershed 1 years, 1 months ago
There is currently an issue with the Hologram cellular network that is used with most of the EnviroDIY stations with cellular modules. The network problem is preventing all Mayfly logger stations with Hologram SIM cards from being able to send data to the Monitor My Watershed data portal. Hologram is aware of the issue and apparently has fixed t…[Read more]

@srgdamiano Sorry to bother you on this, but I still need help understanding the issues I’ve had with the Teros library.

I think that the directory structure could be the culprit. The way that I have been able to reliably get this work is the following:

It seems to me its a working practice’s issue, repeatability and traceability- not a programming issue. From a distance, seems like you should be able to see the code in the directory that you are building – however you do have a unique directory structure, and if opening HicksonDeployments.code-workspace – maybe its mispointed. I open…[Read more]

I think I agree with you about the complexity of deploying multiple sensor packages, each with different UUIDs. However, I don’t think that is what’s screwing me up here. As of now, I simply can’t get my sketches to reliably upload to the boards. I honestly don’t think that the compile and upload process is even getting to a place in my code where…[Read more]

Well you are now into working deployment practice’s, beyond programming,
So how about simplifying (I think you’re process is getting complicated . IHMO all the guideline haven’t identified what happens when you actually have a successful program to deploy .)
Seems the question is for a successful working Mayfly logger program ….. and how t…[Read more]

Alright, I have no idea if this will help or not, but I think it’s important that I get this down for completeness.
