It’s still in the prototype and testing phase, but the good news is the the chips that were unavailable for the past 18 months are finally available again. If you or anyone else have specific RS485 sensors that you’re hoping to use, it would be helpful if you email me at mayfly@envirodiy.org with your sensor model information so we can make sure…[Read more]

Any update on when the RS485 adapter will be available? Or possible alternatives? Thx.

The LTE Bee (and WiFi) can change IP addresses at any time.

Great! Thanks for the quick reply.
One followup question: I think I saw a reference in some of the documentation about the LTE module having restricted source and destination IP addresses i.e. once configured it will only work with a single destination address. Is that correct? And if so, does the WiFi Bee have a similar restriction? (Or maybe…[Read more]

The WiFi bee is actively being supported. It’s what I test with on my desk. Switching back and forth between WiFi and LTE is fairly simple. But you should still do some LTE testing on your desk before moving to the field.
If you’re using a Mayfly, I’d go with the WiFi Bee. It plugs right in. Any other shield would require jumper wires or other…[Read more]

I may be helping a friend with some software development on a Mayfly logger. He uses an LTE Bee module in the field when his loggers are deployed, but I don’t anticipate being in the field myself. Communications in the field require IP service. Instead of using an LTE Bee module while I’m developing, I’m considering an EnviroDIY WiFi Bee module or…[Read more]
