The Y511-A has a wiper motor that draws a little too much power on initial startup, so unfortunately even the newest Mayfly 1.1RevB still can’t power it directly. Our early 1.0 prototypes handled all the various 12v sensors just fine, but the voltage regulators on that prototype have been out of stock for the past 18 months, and we’ve been…[Read more]

With the Y511-A sensors we have (that were purchased about a year ago), whenever you apply 12v to the power wire, the wiper spins continuously in one direction for 5 full revolutions and then “parks” the wiper blade in the home position. Then it pauses for a few seconds, then it performs the actual back-and-forth cleaning wipe motion (not full…[Read more]

Could you share ideas on how to promote open source reviews? How can journals like HardwareX be leveraged? Can you share more about Crowd Source and how that helps verify quality assurance? This is all highly […]

Great to have the overview and direction. The creators of Open Hardware do need support in understanding what it takes to design, manufacture and sell the hardware, and also the community to do it smartly – open […]

Hi all,
I have one Yosemitech 511-A sensor that turns on the wiper for approximately 30 seconds with each measurement. The wiper doesn’t move from side to side either, it rotates in a continuous full circle for the full 30s.
Has anyone experienced this? Is this a hardware fault?
James

James,
Could you solder the jumper on the old version wing board that would otherwise be under the step up board? And get 12 volt from the new Mayfly? I am not qualified to make any recommendations, but since 12 volt is on the new Mayfly, you should be able to power the Y511 that way.

I’m also still very interested in these wings. The Pololu 12v Step-up voltage regulator has been discontinued and I’m struggling to build new wings.

Adolfo Lopez replied to the topic PlatformIO Developer Setup in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 1 years, 11 months ago
Specifically, I wanted to make changes to the ThingSpeakPublisher.h and ThingSpeakPublish.CPP. I’ve made changes on my local files to work with ThingSpeak, but I haven’t had much luck getting it uploaded on the Mayfly. I believe it’s because my platformio.ini file isn’t correct. I tried following the example found on the ModularSensors, but it…[Read more]
Khaase replied to the topic Mayfly 1.1 Bootloader Burning? in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 1 years, 11 months ago
I probed the traces to the vertical uSD socket and FTDI and determined that with the isolation capacitor and DTR, it’s not possible to update the bootloader from uSD/J7. Of course, Right there on the circuit diagram there is an ICSP port (H4), which is a set of pads for what I believe are 1.94mm pogo pins by the uSD slot. I wonder if there is a…[Read more]
