While it’s true that there’s no “testing mode” at data.envirodiy, I do test the communication before I deploy by just setting the station up and let it start running. My last test ran for just over 2 days and one station died at 1.5 days because I didn’t have a powerful-enough battery. I was grateful to have it running for long enough to tell. I’m not worried about parsing my house plant test out of the data when I download the set for analysis. Are you using the example sketch here? https://github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors/tree/master/examples/logging_to_EnviroDIY

I’ve been meaning to get an “end-user” friendly tutorial (blog) ready for that process.

Hey @klstokes, especially if your students are already producing a written report, please encourage them to format it as a blog post so others can learn from their process!

Thanks for sharing! It looks great!

It looks like it holds the potential of flooding. Have you installed submersible cord grips? https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-cord-grips/=1cm2uit

Hi Dave,

I have a version 3 and a 5b sitting next to me and both have the version number right by the on-off switch. It’s also printed on the back of the Mayfly to the right of the name.

Hi all,

I just wired up a temp compensation on MB7389, and after I dumped everything and re-cloned the modular library master branch (managed through GitHub Desktop) after the re-clone it worked for me.

This example sketch that Sara recommended above also seems to work ok (in pin 5).
https://github.com/EnviroDIY/EnviroDIY_Mayfly_Logger/blob/master/examples/mayfly_sonar/mayfly_sonar.ino

The sonar test from the modular library master branch (in pin 11) returns a distance and indicates “good result found” and the response matches the distance I’m measuring.

The single sensor example from the modular library master branch (in pin 11) oscillates between returning a good distance and one that is 6 meters further than reality.

After commenting out several of the extra sensors, I was also able to run it on the multisensor print sketch.

I have attached a photo of my wiring. @srgdamiano, great work on the modular library!
