Hi Jim – To get the linear correction, you should be able to make a calculated variable in .ino file and have that reported to MMW. It looks like there’s no code for calculated variables in the DRWI_CitSci.ino, but it is in the menu_a_la_carte.ino. Hope this helps!

Jim, I read your blog post and plan to test out the Sensorex probes with future monitoring stations. The wiring and automatic temperature compensation would definitely be a time saver! Thanks for the comment!

Adam Gold replied to the topic Trouble registering with LTE-M network on Hologram in the forum Miscellaneous 5 years, 1 months ago
Hi Brian, I wasn’t able to get version 0.23.11 to work, but I think my issue is related to code for the Sodaq Ubee R410M modem that I’m using (and possibly PlatformIO). I do get a 504 sending error when running 0.22.6, though. Fortunately, I was able to get version 0.21.4 working great after I made a fresh PlatformIO project and manually installed 0.21.4

Thanks, @srgdamiano! I think that the “CEREG” change helped with the registration issue. I’m still not able to get ModularSensors 0.23.16 up and running, though. Seems like another modem issue – these things are definitely finicky! I’ll reach out through the SARA R410M modem GitHub thread or email. Thanks again for your help!

Interesting, thanks for the reply! It’s odd that bypass mode works for the Xbees because the Sodaq Ubee I think is always talking directly to the Ublox.
I don’t have the latest firmware update. I’ve gotten in touch with Ublox for help updating the firmware because it looks like some Hologram folks have had LTE-M issues that have been resolved by…[Read more]

I’ve run into an issue registering our modems on the Hologram network (AT&T), and I wanted to see if anyone else using LTE-M has had the same issue or had possible fixes. We are using the Sodaq Ubee R410M with Hologram SIMs to send data from our Mayflys, and up the modems were working great when we pulled our stream gauges from the field two…[Read more]

Adam Gold replied to the topic Parameter Threshold Notifications in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 5 years, 6 months ago
You can do this remotely if you send data to ThingSpeak (already supported by ModularSensors). There are caps on how many ThingSpeak channels you can have and still have it be free (4 per account, I think), but you can make a ThingSpeak channel email or tweet at you when it meets certain conditions. Here’s a similar question about alarms from the…[Read more]

Based on the list of supported sensors (https://github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors), it looks like a Yosemitech DO sensor is another option.

You might want to check out Atlas Scientific DO sensors (https://www.atlas-scientific.com/product_pages/kits/do_kit.html). They are galvanic probes that are cheap and fairly accurate (+- 0.05 mg/l), but they do require a fair bit of effort to piece together. You would need the DO kit (previous link, $280), an isolated carrier board ($40, https://w…[Read more]

Adam Gold started the topic Using AltSoftSerial with Mayfly in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 5 years, 8 months ago
I’m currently using NeoSWSerial to take water level measurements using a Maxbotix 7383 HRXL-WRLST sensor (pins: neoSSerial1Rx = 11, neoSSerial1Tx = -1), but I am interested in using AtlSoftSerial because it is more accurate. Does anyone know the Mayfly pin designations for AltSoftSerial? Is it possible to use one of the Grove ports like I am…[Read more]

I’m having a similar problem with the LTE-M Xbee3 that folks in this forum have already described, but slightly different. I have the same hardware as Cal and Brian, but I have a Taoglas LTE-M/NB-IoT antenna. Using the menu_a_la_carte.ino from Modular Sensors, the modem will throw a lot of “NO RESPONSE” messages while trying to synchronize with…[Read more]

@w3asa Hi Jim, I figured I’d address the Atlas Scientific code question in this forum. I sent a pull request to the Modular Sensors library on GitHub yesterday with some messy code that I got to work with temperature, EC, and DO Atlas sensors using I2C, and it looks like @srgdamiano already made a new branch of the Modular Sensors library called…[Read more]

Thanks for adding those to the portal. Those are the only ones that I plan on using.

Adam did you see my blog on “low cost EC sensor” ? I was using the Atlas sci probes but switched to the Sensorex probes which are cheaper. A more expensive version is available with an intergrel 10K RTD for temperature measurement. It comes with a 3m cable and pigtails – no BNC!
Jim, I read your blog post and plan to test out the Sensorex probes with future monitoring stations. The wiring and automatic temperature compensation would definitely be a time saver! Thanks for the comment!
Jim, Adam: I would be interested to hear if you have considering using the non-contact toroidal conductivity sensors from Sensorex for water monitoring since you have concerns about biofouling and you are in a saltwater environment. The inital cost of the toroidal sensor is high in comparison to the contact type sensors , but over the life of the sensor the initial cost I believe would be offset by the quality of the data and the large reduction in labor for sensor maintenance. https://sensorex.com/product/tcs3020-toroidal-inductive-conductivity-sensor/
I have several years using these sensors in industrial applications that required the biofouling resistance. I also helped deploy torodial sensors aboard a sailing vessel that was monitoring both freshwater and sea water. I am interested to hear your feedback. What is your expected range of conductivity measurements.
