Thanks @neilh20. I will definitely be interested in these when they are available.
@aufdenkampe do you have any feedback about YOSEMITECH turbidity sensors? My questions are:
1) Are they as reliable as other turbidity sensors, i.e. do they drift more readily, or provide strange values? For $510USD (non-wiper) or $680USD (wiper), they seem…[Read more]

Hi @shicks. I need a number of turbidity sensors for an upcoming project, and I have a reasonable quote from Yosemitech (~510USD each). What additional interface hardware are you referring to for the Yosemitech probes? Has anyone tested them and can vouch for their accuracy?

Hi everyone,
Just a quick update. The 100k voltage divider worked perfectly. My new voltage water level relationship is below.
Thanks again for your help @shicks.

Hi all,
Just an update. I sent an email to the tech support team at Millonetech, and we were able to confirm that the eTape sensor I am using is not a resistance to voltage module (as I suggested above), but contains a simple voltage divider. This version works fine with 5v VCC, so that is not a problem.
I purchased some 100k resistors and…[Read more]

Hi Shannon,
Yes using the Mayfly ver 0.5b. I am using the ADS1115, and reading 50 ADS readings at 50us intervals and storing them in an array. I am then taking the median of the array and multiplying by 3.3 before dividing the whole thing by 17585.0.
I have the Mayfly jumper on the ADC section set to 5v rather than 3.3.

Hi all,
I have been trying to calibrate an 80cm eTape sensor – standard linear resistance to voltage module (https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/6e1bce17-f4fa-40c3-9d89-9bb7445697bb/downloads/0-5V%20Module%20Data%20Sheet.pdf).
Everything seems normal and there is a nice relationship between depth and voltage until I reach 40cm. At that point the…[Read more]

Hi Sara,
I worked through this and everything compiles correctly now! Thanks for your help.
I did wonder about the linter in Atom. From what I have read there seems to be an issue with linters working with .ino files in Atom. Have you guys found anything that works?

Thanks @srgdamiano! I will try again when I get home from work.
I am using Atom with PlatformIO. How do I turn the linter tools on? thanks also for the tip on ‘extVoltage’. I was going to write a function that did the same thing as the unnecessary repetition was starting to bug me!

Hi,
I am trying to write some code to test some new low-cost sensors, including a DFRobot gravity conductivity sensor (https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1123.html). I have used snippets of DFRobot’s code, and built calculated variable functions in modular sensors to read data. In this case the DFRobor code uses a ‘k’ value as a crude c…[Read more]

Hi Scott,
Thank you for this, and apologies for not getting back to you sooner. For some reason I wasn’t alerted to your reply.
This is exactly what I was after!
Thanks again. I will let you know how we get on.

Haha, that worked! Thanks @mbarney.

@heather just FYI. I have attempted to do this on my work computer with the same result.
Is there somewhere I should log MMW problems? We often struggle with the timeseries viewer – it takes a long time to load. Is this a common problem? I thought perhaps it might be caused by our location (New Zealand).

James_NZ replied to the topic Add Sensor button not working on MonitorMyWatershed in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 3 years, 9 months ago
Just adding to this thread. I have had this twice. Tonight I couldn’t find a solution despite trying different browsers and incognito mode.
I agree, it is a bit of a show stopper.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has experimented with sending a SMS to the Mayfly via an XBee3 LTE to trigger an action? My goal is to have a modular sensors sketch operating as per normal, but be able to ‘trigger’ an ISCO 6700 autosampler via a text message from our main office. I think this would require some amendment to the modular…[Read more]

And here’s the bypass output. I think this worked! Any idea why, and how I could transfer to my modular sensors code?

Thanks for the prompt reply Sara. You must love these LTE’s by now!
I have had some feedback from Spark who suggest that they have lots of other SARA R410M devices running on the network.
