@stoltzfus-12osu-edu/ I am in a similar situation with my low cost EC sensor station project. I need to tweek the AtlasScientific sensor library to fit my hardware. I am using an AtlasSci EZO circuit set for UART mode and a sensorex conductivity probe with internal RTD which I use to report temperature as well as correct the EC reading to 2…[Read more]

Hello – I’m attempting to take the double_logger.ino file and modify it for my needs – and would appreciate a little help. I’ve been logging pretty well to MMW with the basic logging_to_MMW.ino using a XB3-C-A2-Ut-001 with Hologram Sim card, primarily with a tipping bucket. What I’m hoping to do with the double logger is to log every 5 minutes…[Read more]

Robert S replied to the topic Manual upload of CSV files on MonitorMyWatershed in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 4 years, 9 months ago

I think that sensitivity is a good thing when collecting data and I want the system to tell me I am doing something wrong. If I could change anything, it might be to tell me what I am doing wrong.

Either way, this was a case of “User Error” and Bad Practice Management. I need to get my logger updated so that the .cvs file it is producing is in…[Read more]

The csv uploading tools are very sensitive to an irregularities in the files. We would very much like to improve them, but right now that’s pending time and, mostly, budget.

Robert S replied to the topic Manual upload of CSV files on MonitorMyWatershed in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 4 years, 9 months ago

Well, I have pretty much answered my own question.

After doing some searching on GitHub, I came across Issue #303 ( Allow POST of data, even when one variable UUID is wrong), which got me looking hard at the .csv data I was trying to upload. It really didn’t become clear to me until I grabbed some new data from the sensor last night.

If you have…[Read more]

Brian, you can use that DS18 temperature sensor on any of the digital pins (labeled on the Mayfly as: D4, D5, D6, D7, D10, D11), and because it’s OneWire, you can connect many DS18 sensors to a single pin using the I2C Hub (which generically connects multiple Grove connections in parallel). It just won’t work using I2C protocols.

BrianJastram replied to the topic MaximDS18 on I2C Hub in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 4 years, 9 months ago

Sara, Thank you (sigh of relief of knowing why it wouldn’t work). That was my goal and now I know it shouldn’t be. That is very helpful. No wonder I couldn’t find an example anywhere.

Sara Damiano replied to the topic MaximDS18 on I2C Hub in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 4 years, 9 months ago

If your goal is to have everything on that one 4-port splitter – it won’t work.

The DS18 isn’t I2C – it’s OneWire. If you really want to use it on that Grove port, you should be able to use it as either D16(SCL) or D17(SDA), but I strongly suspect that attempting to dual-use one of the I2C pins for OneWire would screw up communication with…[Read more]

How do I get my DS18 to work on an I2C Hub plugged into my I2C Grove port? It’s currently working on Pin 5 and I have the DeviceAddress but when I plug the DS18 into the I2C hub I can’t find a pin that will work.

Thanks for the verification Matt.

I was aware that large files can be a problem. I am trying to upload 2 days worth of readings (about 290 lines) but see your file is even smaller.

Hi Robert,

I just now tried and am also unable to upload a CSV. In the past, I had trouble due to formatting or due to files that were too long, but once I figured that out, I saved examples of files that I’ve successfully uploaded. However, those are now failing as well. Sample csv attached, FWIW.

Hi again.

I ran another test overnight, again using a 2 minute sampling interval, with no code changes, but I removed the build flags for modem debugging from the platformio.ini. Here are the results:

427 total samples taken
52 sample events received a Response Code 504.
246 sample events received a Response Code 201.
155 of the samples…

Hi Anthony, Thanks for that, and will keep the tracert in mind!

Hi Neil, Yep, that’s software development; I’ve got the grey hairs too! I am interested in learning more about your thoughts and approaches to reproducibility, so will start a thread on that soon. Your progressive testing approach sounds great, and is what I’m trying to work toward…[Read more]

I don’t know if this is related to the issue reported by @mbarney (monitormywatershed.org is not responding) or to the issue posted on GitHub by @dbressler (monitor my watershed won’t load, just spins #477) but manual uploading of CSV files is not working either.

Hi Anthony ~ thanks for the headsup. For today my desk proto system running at 15minutes intervals/WiFi I haven’t seen any timeouts, all 201’s in the last 5hrs

Matt, sorry to hear the reconstruction issues. Welcome to software development. I’ve got lots of silver hairs from it.

The process of proving or verifying software functionality,…[Read more]

Hey Matt and Neil, we’ve had a bunch of server-side issues in the last few days, so I’m guessing that’s more the problem than anything on your device. Part of the issue was a 5.5 hour internet outage to our servers caused by a Comcast fiber-optic line issue on March 31 in the afternoon. But we’ve had other issues that we’re trying to track…[Read more]

Hi Neil,

Thanks for your good explanations and ideas. As you’ve described, the Mayfly->MMW system in its current form would need additional engineering effort to be able to support a high-reliability communication system with built-in buffering, retries, etc.

At the moment, I’m trying to understand why our Mayfly systems’ reliability has dropped…[Read more]
