Thanks Shannon. Please let me know as I will likely order a few of these and some mayfly 1.1’s.
Appreciate the hard work.

No estimate yet, I’m still working on the redesign and will then have to get them manufactured once we’ve fully tested them.

Hi Shannon,
Do you have any idea when the RS-485 half shields are likely to be in stock?

Hi Shannon,
Thank you once again for your thoughtful and thorough reply – as well as for your patience and understanding of my Mayfly ignorance for not having attended a workshop.
I greatly appreciate you sharing your time and knowledge. Your reply above is quite helpful.
The board already has corrosion issues on the main chip- likely…[Read more]

DaveG, since you inherited a monitoring station from a previous owner, you didn’t get the full training we give station owners when we teach a workshop and/or install a station for them. I would suggest looking through all of our EnviroDIY Monitoring Station Manual since we thoroughly document all of the information about station assembly, i…[Read more]

For the solar connecter, I colour the socket and the jack in an acrylic orange so that there is a visual match. The LiIon battery in a cooler blue. Of course have to be careful to only get the acrylic paint on the outside of the jack and not have leak inside. Its not perfect, but provides a little clue.

Suspect Mayfly1.1
The cable I was using also went bad and I’ve marked it as suspect – its a distinctive pink cable. I’ve inspected the Mayfly USB c on Mayfly1.1 with an Eye Loupe, and it is hard to inspect but nothing jumps out, seems OK.
I did have a USB current monitor in the testing before hand, and the current had gone up to 1.2A while…[Read more]

Are you saying you’ve got a bad cable or a bad Mayfly? Have you tried a different USB-C cable? The pins in USB-C connectors and cables are extremely small and are easy to fail. And when the pins in a cable’s connector get bent or damaged, we’ve seen them inflict damage on brand-new boards, so I’d suggest trying a new cable or two.

Matt, you are correct that it appears the solar panel was connected to the spare LipoBatt JST socket on the Mayfly, which causes the board to see those high levels during the day. The voltage regulator on the Mayfly can theoretically be damaged if you put more than 6.5v into the board via the LipoBatt jack, so they should definitely fix that as…[Read more]
