A participant in our recent CUAHSI-sponsored EnviroDIY Workshop is wondering if it is possible to report data to Monitor My Watershed at 1 second intervals. Has anyone tried this?

It was a good day for brown trout in the Manistee River. The hot July weather in northern Michigan had pushed the water temperature up into the low 70s. That pushed oxygen levels down, so the trout needed to stay […]

Hi Jim: I haven’t been following this thread but I’m excited that you are pushing through this to get your data streaming to MonitorMyWatershed! I’m glad Sara has been providing help. It occurred to me that you might reach out to Adam Gold (@adamgold) because he was using both Atlas Sci hardware and PlatformIO. He published a blog detailing his…[Read more]

Rory G, our Amazon stock is sold out but we should have the storefront restocked soon. Shannon Hicks recently posted this:

That’s great to hear that they’re selling as well as they are and that more are being made available. Is there any thought on if the data logger will be shipped to Canada in the future?

Hi Oscamo. Indeed, I was formerly at Planktos Instruments but now at the Stroud Center. In responding to Sara’s comment about trajectory data being hard to visualize, check out this video showing dissolved oxygen data along 22 miles of the Neuse River in North Carolina.
We’ve been collecting trajectory data with drifter technology here at the…[Read more]

Sensors, no. Autonomous orthophosphate wet chemistry, yes. Check out Green Eyes Science’s NuLab (http://gescience.com/nulab/) and Seabird’s hydrocycle (https://www.seabird.com/hydrocycle-po/product?id=54721314201). There are others out there, but these come to mind first.

I’m connecting an ESP8266 V1.0 with a Mayfly. Can anyone suggest a simple sketch that scans for available wifi networks (and displaying them by printing to the terminal) and displays confirmation of the connection with my wifi by printing something to the terminal? Ultimately, I’d like to send sensor data to Monitor My Watershed, but the first…[Read more]

Well, the *easiest* way would be to take the ESP bee off the mayfly and connect it to a UartSBee and then talk to the bee directly using AT commands and a serial port.
If you’d rather keep it attached to the Mayfly, you can use the basic example for the StreamDebugger (https://github.com/vshymanskyy/StreamDebugger) library to communicate with the…[Read more]

Um.. and it’s also possible that the esp I gave you had a botched firmware upgrade. If you’re not getting connected, come and demand a better one from me.

Thank you for the very well-constructed Learn EnviroDIY Programming Tutorial!! I’ve been successfully working through this tutorial in an effort to learn how to use the modular sensors library. This is a tremendous resource for all of us in the EnviroDIY community who are generally intimidated by github and have very little coding experience.…[Read more]

Hi Scott, I am very glad it’s been helpful to you! It’s basically the one week of work nutshell/refinement of what it took me several months of trial and error to stumble through. Notice it’s still in “beta” mode, so we are more than happy to receive feedback on what works and what doesn’t work well. Please feel free to submit your ideas as…[Read more]

Hi Neil, Good suggestion about “armoring” your cables. Others have done similar things in this region, including flexible steel electrical conduit.

Wow. Thankyou Stroud Water team for detailed how-tos. Fantastic stream side setup for Mayfly, as well as good reference material for how to do water quality collection.
One comment, is that we’ve seen sensor cables being gnawed. So we’ve tended to put the cables communicating to the sensors in a flexible PVC sheath. In the West we also get deeply incised channels, so have greater cable runs to get to a radio horizon. -

WOW. Excellent post Scott.
This really shows how all the pieces work together and how the data is being used in real-time and for future monitoring.
Thanks.
