Seems like this might have broken, and I’ve created an issue https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/issues/682

Wow nice to see the pictures and mechanical detail. I always find that a challenge to get integrated early – mostly because I’m doing everthing.  Is it part of an open source project? sounds like its for a specific translator/extender fiber optics to copper RS485/RS23   In looking over the Rpi PICO, while an amazing processor with program st…[Read more]

@vogelrnws I wonder how its going. I see that Teensy is moving to a Teensy4.0 CortexM7

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”

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]
