Shannon Hicks replied to the topic Battery Power Options in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 2 years, 5 months ago
For anyone reading this in 2022, the posts above in this thread are from 2016 to 2019, and the operating voltage and other electrical specification have changed with the Mayfly boards released in the past year. The older Mayfly v0.5 boards had completely different input voltage limits compared to the new Mayfly v1.0 and v1.1 boards. So the a…[Read more]
Shannon Hicks replied to the topic Regular Data Outages in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 2 years, 5 months ago
That station appears to be running the older configuration of Mayfly v0.5b and Digi LTE board (with an EnviroDIY LTEBee adapter in between the Digi board and the Mayfly), correct? There could be several reasons why it’s behaving like that, and it’s difficult to tell unless you start swapping parts or disconnecting things one at a time to see…[Read more]

Hi All. One of our stations is experience regular outages where data isn’t being sent to MMW. The outages seem to start mid to late morning and last for several hours. It seems like the outages correspond with the period during which battery voltage is increasing. Any ideas what could be going on here?

Reminder: we’re limiting this forum topic to non-technical questions related to the production status and availability of EnviroDIY products like the Mayfly Data Logger or its accessories.
Please post other Mayfly-related discussions separately on the Mayfly forum. We’ll move off-topic replies posted here to their own threads to preserve the…[Read more]

My stations as described above have been working fine for 3 years in the field. I’ve had a few components fail (12-5v buck converter, XBee daughter card, resistor divider) but otherwise very stable.
However, one Mayfly (0.5b) seems to be performing fine with 2 exceptions:

Thanks. The project perspective is often – initial qty and then what might be follow on qtys. Of course project planning is only a what if, and no guarantee
In my experience, one of the challenges with building an electronics board, other than the world wide supply chain issues, is that the base cost of engineering often means that at least 5…[Read more]

Hi Neil,
I would only need 5 at this stage. I would connect it to my Yosemitech turbidity sensors and potentially Yosemitech pH sensors as well.
Regards,
James

@James_NZ – I’m curious, just wondering how many RS485’s stations are you looking at and your planning project timeline.
What sort of instruments/powering are you looking to connect to.
There is a forward looking discussion on issues here, though the timeline for anything being built, I’m guessing is really dependent on specific project…[Read more]
