The Mayfly 1.1 is great for powering options – but it does mean understanding the tradeoffs.

For an FTDI cable,  for debug monitoring of the Mayfly this is what I do – https://github.com/neilh10/ModularSensors/wiki/Test-Equipment-FTDI-cable

I also cut some pins to make it a “monitoring cable” that won’t cause a reset when the USB is plugged in.…[Read more]

Many thanks got it. I appreciate the effort and detail that goes into producing a new production run. The pogo pin connector is great and so simple.

Got the .pdf – I copied the .jpg instead of more intelligently clicking it to get the .pdf!

Just wondering if you have any thoughts on changing the Vbat   Rs to 1M / 270K for better noise i…[Read more]

Hi @shicks, just received two Mayfly 1.1 and noticed they are rev1.1B – just wondering what the differences are from  rev1.1A? 🙂

I did pull the circuit diagram from https://www.envirodiy.org/mayfly/hardware/ however the resolution is so low, its not all readable. Just wondering if there is a pdf version. 🙂

I also checked…[Read more]

It seems to me its a working practice’s issue, repeatability and traceability- not a programming issue.  From a distance, seems like you should be able to see the code in the directory that you are building – however you do have a unique directory structure, and if opening HicksonDeployments.code-workspace – maybe its mispointed. I open…[Read more]

Well you are now into working deployment practice’s, beyond programming,

So how about simplifying  (I think you’re process is getting complicated . IHMO all the guideline haven’t identified what happens when you actually have a successful program to deploy .)

Seems the question is for  a successful working Mayfly logger program ….. and how t…[Read more]

Hey glad to have helped!!.  Whew.!

Its a challenge sometime to figure out what the foundations are and build off them. I’ve had to do that before, start with a known should be working, and then slowly add to it to find out what came adrift.   I often use Meld Merge to compare the base directories separately from PIO.   There is a gitkraken plug…[Read more]

So good to play around with it, I asked bard.google.com a question that doesn’t have a lot written about it ..

“What is the quiescent power consumption of the Bristlemouth hardware”

AND it sounds coherent – however its “hallucinating”  as not a google project. The 10milliwatts its quoting is the active transmission per Mhz.

I’ve got an open…[Read more]

Goodluck with tracking it down :), some cyber screw come loose.

Yes interesting to understand the basis of the technology. ChatGPT sounds coherent!! or as a “stochastic parrot”, have enough people written on the problem for it to be trained to sound coherent :).

A friend said they found it helps debug xls macros!!

Like handling a “kn…[Read more]

great  makes it easy to try it –

I cloned locally, opened the folder in VSC.

It pulled in the libs, and then I pressed the pio build button.

Advanced Memory Usage is available via “PlatformIO Home > Project Inspect”
RAM: [=== ] 34.9% (used 5724 bytes from 16384 bytes)

Sometime “stuff happens” and thats why virtual machines where invented.

If you post your git link  – and the project is set up right, I should be able to clone, and then open it in VSC/PIO and see if it builds.

<quote>”Before I go digging through the code, I’m wondering why code would compile and run fine one week, then be “structured to not compile” the next. Do you have any idea why this might happen?” </quote>

So a perspective – its your code, and its your environment – so i have no idea, just throwing out a suggestion based on the data of compi…[Read more]

@tahicksonstthomas-edu  – like as you say thats interesting, all of investigations start with that.

Probably post the code – though it looks like it is structured to not compile –  eyeball the code flow from first call to setup() and subsequent calls to main() and is your section of the code isolated.

SC typically shows colour coded syntax – t…[Read more]

I wonder what is the size of the code ?

From the bottom of the PIO  when I build I have

RAM:   [=====     ]  52.2% (used 8551 bytes from 16384 bytes)

Flash: [========= ]  87.4% (used 113628 bytes from 130048 bytes)

@tahicksonstthomas-edu – just wondering if you tried rebooting, or tried it again.

VSC and also Platfromio regularly do updates – and sometimes just exiting and starting VSC again seems to work for me.

More recently for some reason two comport have appeared with a BlueTooth access.

You can also check what the USB enumerates as a COM port and…[Read more]

@nick Apparently try it with out clicking the “notify option” –

https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/issues/668

not clear if the bug fix has gone live, or will be fixed on the next pass

@nick – I tried https://monitormywatershed.org/sites/TWItest/  and it doesn’t exist

What is valuable for your “error report” is the error that is occurring when you submit to MMW. That would be the screen shot you need.

Perhaps there is some field that needs to be filled in that is missing

I usually use a naming convention, as it has to be…[Read more]

@nick I just tried – and it worked for me with 4 sensors. https://monitormywatershed.org/sites/nh_test230803/

Perhaps you could try starting from the beginning. Nothing bad should happen creating sites.

I saw this as well. Though it turns out the site was created  .

https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/issues/663

I hoped the issue had gone away, so  I closed it after a few weeks..

I’ll re-open it with a reference to this conversation. I guess its a benefit in tracking bugs. If/when the project gets a burst of energy/focus (or $) t…[Read more]

@nick IHMO there are few maintenance and ease of use concepts  built into   github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors    & MMW.

To  make it easier, it takes what Computer Science people call “Use Cases” for how equipment is used in the field. There are international standards for managing equipment maintenance states – however they  take more softwa…[Read more]

Thanks for the hint for running at 56K – that has been working.
