It feels like a memory leak but I can’t see why. I tried to modify the thingspeak example but then everything got messed up and the pins scramled. I’ll try with another computer and see if I can find the bugs in my code. Probably something very simple.

My reply is very hard to read especially when all my spacing got removed. Sorry for that:)

Attaching a .ini didn’t work so here it is:
```
; PlatformIO Project Configuration File

;   Build options: build flags, source filter
;   Upload options: custom upload port, speed and extra flags
;   Library options: dependencies, extra library storages

To answer your questions:

-I’m using platformio on VSCode. (I’m really not comfortable using it but these kind of problems is good for actually learning hands on. There is a lot of strange things in there that I don’t understand and I wish I could find a really good tutorial how to work with it.)
-Attached my “platformio.ini”
-I’ve tried both…[Read more]

Oops. I’d meant to cut the code using NeoSWSerial and SoftwareSerial from that particular example but apparently cut it only from the example platformio.ini file.

Can you post your platformio.ini file? Are you using Atom or VSCode? It shouldn’t make a difference for the code; I’m just asking so I can help you better. What versions of all…[Read more]

Following up on @roryg ‘s earlier post – what are the actual ranges of turbidity that you guys see in the field? The Campbell probes claim to measure 0.5-4000 NTU, do you see the full dynamic range in the field? How accurate is “good enough” ?

Thanks!

Hi Jim,

We noticed that Friday morning as well. Another user has reported the problem on Github, but I have not seen a response yet.

A bigger issues is MonMW was off the air when I checked last night. There were no Sparkline plots and TSA was dead.

Does anybody know whats going on?

Hi All,
FYI, the Turbidity sensor linked to is set to be discontinued as of Dec 29th, 2019. Does anyone know if EnviroDIY is planning to specify another turbidity sensors for their set up?
- Shannon Hicks replied 5 years, 1 months ago
  
  The manufacturer of the turbidity sensors we usually use (Campbell Scientific) will be releasing a new version of their sensors soon, so we are working with them to make the appropriate changes needed to accommodate the new sensors. We’ll release more information when they announce that their new sensors are available.

    Fantastic. Thanks for the response and I’m looking forward to information on their updated sensor. Let’s hope the price comes down a little bit. 🙂

Yeah, it’s a known issue.
Erik G replied to the topic RS485 without auto direction control in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 5 years, 1 months ago

I’m totally lost. Tried the “data_saving”-example as is and the logger restarts even if I keep the enable pin at -1. Doesn’t make a difference if I detach everything from the Mayfly and I tried both different usb-cables and FTDI-cable.

The “thingspeak” example works if I don’t add any Yosemitech libraries/sensors in the code. I wonder if I’m…[Read more]

Hi Matt,
I just checked and this issue was reported for multiple sites (including Coldwatermorse) in September and confirmed in October. GitHub is the best way to get Monitor My Watershed issues in front of the development team. If you have a GitHub account, feel free to add to the issue thread. Thanks!

Hi,

I am seeing multiple pins displayed on the map at one location for one of our sites. When I browse sites on MMW and search for ‘Coldwatermorse’, the map zooms to the proper site, but when you click the pin, it expands into 4 or 5 pins. No matter which of those you click, it displays the same site (same Site Code, Site Name, etc.). There…[Read more]
Shannon Hicks replied to the topic Use of Mayfly in Coastal/Brackish Waters? in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 5 years, 1 months ago

I deployed several sensor stations in a coastal estuary with brackish water in southern Delaware about 5 years ago. There’s no difference between those stations and any of the ones we put in fresh water except that we used titanium-body turbidity sensors instead of stainless steel. The other sensors were all rated for salt water use, and I used…[Read more]

Wow, I just realized I didn’t really post any real question and still you are helping=)I’m really thankful and impressed by all your effort.

I have ordered a module with automatic flow control from Amazon but I didn’t want to wait for it to arrive so I started with what I had.
The module I have has been working nicely before but this time I…[Read more]
Luke started the topic Use of Mayfly in Coastal/Brackish Waters? in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 5 years, 1 months ago

I did a search for anybody who might have used the Mayfly for coastal monitoring, but came up empty. I work on the Georgia coast, and I wanted to see if the Mayfly might be suitable for sampling water quality metrics (Temp, DO, Salinity, pH) in brackish or salty conditions. I assume some modifications for sensors would be needed to avoid…[Read more]

I was feeling cocky after the LTC1480 worked and pulled out the Max485 and level shifters. Zero success with communication, but I didn’t have any problems with the program crashing.
Sara Damiano replied to the topic RS485 without auto direction control in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 5 years, 1 months ago

Ok, I broke out the 3.3V RS485 chip I have (an LTC1480) from the “someday I’ll test this” box. I’d bought the chip ages ago to try out in place of the (5V) MAX485 that I couldn’t ever get to work. But since the automatic flow control always worked nicely, I threw the LT1480 onto a shelf unopened.

Anyway, it worked for me. I made some very…[Read more]
