@thewaz We have a 4 Mayfly data logger starter kit and we are trying to connect a Decagon CTD-10 sensor and we are having issues with finding the required code to program it and the wiring diagram. Would you please direct us to this information.

Coby, thanks for asking!
The EnviroDIY team (and especially @srgdamiano) has been working very hard on an easy-to-use Modular Sensors library that we are developing not just for the EnviroDIY Mayfly but also for other Arduino-compatible boards (but we haven’t tested any of those yet!). See https://github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors.
We’ve done a lot of recent work on building libraries for a number of the Decagon SDI12 sensors, including the CTD-10. See the “src” folder.
However, we still haven’t fleshed out our examples for each of those sensors. Stay tuned if you are waiting for a turn-key solution.
In addition, @srgdamiano has been very actively working on all of the Arduino libraries that our Mayfly depends on for communicating with environmental sensors. See https://github.com/EnviroDIY/Libraries.
These libraries make it quite easy to use the example and workshop sketches in https://github.com/EnviroDIY/EnviroDIY_Mayfly_Logger.
I’ve tried to write up most of the steps here: https://envirodiy.org/topic/logging-mayfly-with-decagon-sdi-12-sensor/
Please let me know if that’s not enough to get you going.
