Thanks Sara.

I ran that command in the PlatformIO terminal and was met with another error which I’ve attached here. Once again thanks for taking the time to walk me through this. Hopefully we’re near the end of troubleshooting!

No worries!  I should have checked everything out on the Arduino IDE anyway.

Yep – I had a problem with my library.  All is good now. Sorry for the fire drill.

If you have the same library installed in a global folder (ie userme_xx.platformiolibxxx) and the local project library dependency folder (project_xx.piolibdepsxxx) PlatformIO should select the local one to build that project and ignore the global installation.  Here’s the docs on the prioritization of installed libraries used at compile time:…[Read more]

Personally, I don’t install any libraries at all to my “global” folder in platformio.  (ie userme_xx.platformiolibxxx)  I always reclone the entire batch of libraries into the .piolibdepsxxx folder for each project.  That way I can recreate a specific program with the libraries just as they were when the program was used and can update at will fo…[Read more]

Do you have a carrier board that you can use to connect the XBee3 to the computer?  If so, then the easiest way is to use that.

Open XCTU and find the XBee3.  To type direct AT commands to the u-blox you need to be in bypass – get there by scroll down in XCTU to the “Serial Interfacing” section and change API Enable to “Bypass Mode [5].”  Cl…[Read more]

Thanks, Sara; I’ll check out the FPLMN issue and keep trying with a modem at my desk.

What’s the easiest way to send AT commands directly to the modem? Load StreamDebugger on a Mayfly, as described here? https://www.envirodiy.org/topic/trouble-initializing-xbee3-lte-m/#post-12658

I can’t seem to get any response; i.e., nothing gets echoed to the…[Read more]

I got it to compile on the Arduino IDE, so there’s must be a tangle in your library structure.  Can you open the library folder (probably in my documents/arduino if you’re using windows) and look at your folders and make sure you only have one TinyGSM?  Can you open the TinyGSM folder and open “TinyGsmCommon.h” and check the version number?

Oh dear.  I forgot to test on the Arduino IDE.  I’ll start looking into it.

Sara noted above that she re-wrote TinyGsm – so I decided it was a good time to update all my code with new libraries.  Trouble is, I can’t get TinyGSM with templates from EnviroDIY GitHub to compile on the Arduino IDE (I’m not using PlatformIO).  I’m sure I’m making a simple mistake or compiler option but can’t figure it out being a novice C++ p…[Read more]

The Hologram dashboard should say “Verizon” in some way if it connected to that network.  The Hologram SIMs do work on Verizon, but they nearly always connect to AT&T in my experience.  There was a thread just a bit ago about setting the carrier profiles for the LTE-M XBee3’s , and for the time being we’ve decided that the default of “…[Read more]

Jim (@w3asa), I think the tutorial @fisherba mentioned back in Aug. 2018 is this one: https://envirodiy.github.io/LearnEnviroDIY/

We last updated it in April 2019 with our v0.2 release: https://github.com/EnviroDIY/LearnEnviroDIY/releases

So it is written for ModularSensors v0.21.2.

Otherwise, it is “complete” (but there is always room for…[Read more]

Hi Beth-

I downloaded your tutorial that you started a 1 1/2 years ago.  Is there any chance you finished it?  It looks like just what I need as and Arduino IDE user trying to transition to PlatformIO.  I have gotten a lot of information from Sara’s threads on this forum but looks like your tutorial would be very helpful for me.

Thanks

Jim

Hi Sara:

Thank you for your quickly answer. However, when I tried to compile the code several errors were shown (see images attached).

Regards, Enrique

Re: updating XBee and u-blox firmware, I just noticed the ‘force cell modem update’ checkbox in XCTU defaulted to unchecked. Hadn’t noticed that before… oops. I’ll enable this from now on when updating my modems.

Re-Wrote for you.  I didn’t even test if it compiles, but this should get you going with concurrent measurements:

/*The Sensor Orientation Index. This number is two when the sensor is upward facing, one when the sensor is downward facing, and zero
when orientation is undetermined.*/

#include <SDI12.h>
#include <SD.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include…

Is your goal to read all of your sensors and write to your SD card as fast as you possibly can?  You could get faster readings by using concurrent sampling on the Decagons like this:  https://github.com/EnviroDIY/Arduino-SDI-12/blob/master/examples/k_concurrent_logger/k_concurrent_logger.ino
