Could it possibly be a problem with the temperature inside your logger box rather than the water temperature?  Maybe Shannon can pipe in and confirm, but I remember that we used to have issues like this when we were using black boxes with clear lids facing summer sun.  I think the Mayfly’s ADC starts acting up when it gets too hot.  Are you re…[Read more]

Thanks, @srgdamiano and @shicks! After working through the code, what seemed to work was actually placing the sensor sleep commands in my getdata() function. For whatever reason it didn’t work too well in the systemSleep function as it seemed to stall my sensors and not allow enough time to wakeup the sensors for reading. Still working on cleaning…[Read more]

Hi James, very interesting. I wonder which Analog port on the mayfly you are using,  ADS1115.?

One test I do, to verify the sensors response, is put the sensor in a simulated stationery stream, (jug of water) with a solar aspect, stable power supply voltage, and measure water temperature and water temperature together and see what it…[Read more]

Thank you, Sara, for the additional tips for working around this PIO issue. I haven’t gotten a response yet on their github issues page, so need to post it on their community forum for others who are experiencing the same issue.

The online shop is awesome news for those of us building stations in quantity! Thank you Shannon and SWRC!

Here’s an update for this topic:  we’ve implemented the online shop here on EnviroDIY to sell 5-packs of various products, including the vertical microSD card adapter board.  All prices include shipping (to US addresses only).  Restocking items on Amazon has been extremely slow lately, so if anyone wants to buy Mayfly boards, kits, or ac…[Read more]

Also, with PlatformIO version 5 you can now specify the owner along with the library name in the lib_deps section so you’re sure you get the right one.

I’m sorry for being late on this.

It’s definitely something with the newest versions of PlatformIO and the very weird part is that for me *sometimes* it works and other times it does.

What I’ve usually ended up doing is putting *everything* into the lib_deps section.

@brianjastram, I’m glad to hear that replacing the cable with a shorter length worked!

Thanks @armas. I have filed an issue with PlatformIO and am awaiting a response. -Matt

Shannon, great job moving the science forward. It seems like your line of experimentation could lead to a simpler way to count rain gauge tips and transmit the data to MMW possibly without using a ProTrinket. Maybe if a tip happens while a cellular transmission is happening the transmission could be interrupted, the tip could be counted, and then…[Read more]

I’ve been experiencing exactly the same thing Matt described.  Atom and Platform IO quit working for me, gave the same compile error.  I uninstalled them and then they would not reinstall.  So I loaded VSC  and Platform IO and got the same compile error.  Matt sent me instructions on how and where to manually put the libraries in my project file…[Read more]

Update: This looks to me like a PIO issue. Reverting to earlier versions of PlatformIO IDE, it works; i.e., it downloads all ModularSensors’ dependencies as expected, and my project compiles successfully. This is using a ‘minimal’ platformio.ini file that looks like this:

[env:mayfly]
platform = atmelavr
board = mayfly
framework = arduino
lib_deps…
