Some status – the periodic Mayfly RESETs turned out, I think, to be happening when polling the Insitu LT500 gauge over SDI12. https://github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors/issues/344

The new code breaks the polling of the Insitu LT500, I’m doing debug under various scenarios to try and under stand it.…[Read more]

Further update. My modular sensors code is logging to MMW flawlessly. I never thought I would see the day! Obviously something worked with Sara’s bypass code:

The only other thing I would like to know is how to code the…[Read more]

And here’s the bypass output. I think this worked! Any idea why, and how I could transfer to my modular sensors code?

Hi Sara,

This issue is fixed in the latest PIO dev version. Details can be found in the PIO issue thread.

I wish there was some magical way to know why the connection isn’t working or to bribe the thing into working.  Obviously from this forum, and from dozens of issues in the TinyGSM library, a lot of people have trouble figuring out the right settings to get their board to connect.

And a new program to try to set it up in bypass to see if we can see what’s failing that way.  I’ve also posted this on GitHub here: https://github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors/blob/master/tools/LTExBee_FirstConnectionBypass/LTExBee_FirstConnectionBypass.ino

Ugh; I thought it would work.  🙁

Two things to try.  First, try running the same thing but change your serial monitor settings to show you more of the output.  If you’re running the Arduino IDE, when you open the serial port monitor, use the drop-down at the bottom to select “Carriage return.”  (See screenshot.)  In PlatformIO, add this to the…[Read more]

Sigh, so I thought we had this but I’m getting the same result.  My code is below, as well as the serial output.

Any thoughts?

#define TINY_GSM_RX_BUFFER 64
#define TINY_GSM_YIELD_MS 2

The settings for the profile and the band mask should be saved on the module, so you should only need to set it up one time. But, if you’re using ModularSensors, you’ll see that a bunch of the set-up from the first-run sketch is copied in the set-up for the modem in the example sketches. So when using those examples, you’ll either need to delete…[Read more]

Thanks so much for your help. I will try this tonight when I get home!

Have a wonderful Christmas.

To use those commands exactly, you need to switch to bypass mode.

But, the proper equivalent of almost all of those commands area already being used anyway, so you don’t need to change much at all.

They are setting the profile to 1 just like I suggested (that’s the UMNOPROF).  Other than making that change, I think the only thing you need to…[Read more]

Thanks for the prompt reply Sara.  You must love these LTE’s by now!

I have had some feedback from Spark who suggest that they have lots of other SARA R410M devices running on the network.

Sara, does the information below mean anything to you?  I figure that I would construct code using “gsmModem.sendAT(GF(“”)) ” to send these configurations t…[Read more]
