      There should be no u in Maxium in line 194.

        Yes, thank you. Here it is.

          I tried just DS18Temp but that didn’t work.
          The Celsius temperature from the DS18 is a reasonable 22.25 degrees.

            Now I got it to be 33.8 F by replacing
            float TempF = TempCFromMaxiumDS18_Temp*1.8+32 with
            float TempF = true*1.8+32

              Awesome, thank you. That solved the error. I was wondering about my variable array because I saw the format of the variable array in the baro_rho_correction sketch and it was more bare bones.
              Now I’m puzzling on the -17966.20 Degree F output I’m seeing in the serial monitor. I tried adding true to the ds18->getValue(true) but that didn’t work.

                  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 during the next send interval the data could then be sent to MMW. I am looking for a way to reliably count every tip and send all tip data to MMW even if a send interval is missed here or there.

                  Using @aufdenkampe ‘s advice as a clue I replaced the 25′ of extra, coiled, shielded analogue signal cable from the original installation between the rain gauge and the ProTrinked with a 3’ length of shielded analogue signal cable on 11/6/2020 and haven’t had any false tips since.

                  Thank you everyone for the input.

                  Best Regards,

                  Brian

                    scornia,

                    I was having the same problem with the address change sketch (using the Atom PlatforIO) so I tried using Arduino IDE and that worked. It saw the SDI-12 address of 0 at pin 7 and I successfully changed it to 1 and now I’m getting values from the Meter CTD-10. Good luck. Let me know if you have any questions.

                      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.

                        Shannon, can you share your code for enabling the Mayfly to keep track of the cumulative total?
