Shannon Hicks

What was the solution to the problem? We are having trouble with our location dot still being gray. It is clearly collecting data but is not displaying the numbers below the graph under last observation . @shicks

@shicks.  I tested the converters you recommended and they appear to work as expected:

dropout voltage is 8 Volts and will support input voltage to 31.5 V (max on my bench PS).

No load draw is 3.64 mA at 12 V and 2.83 mA at 31.5 V.

A lower cost option is a three terminal non-isolated converter at $2.76 ea vs $12 for the PlusRoc.

Hi @shicks  I got my 5 pack of the v1.1 boards today and I noticed that:

• Removed External/Lipo slide switch since it’s no longer needed

Does that mean I can no longer power the Mayfly from a 12 V supply?  I have an application for water sampling and the pumps run on 12V and they are controlled by the Mayfly so I can power the whole system wit…[Read more]

@jlemontu-org, yes as @shicks pointed out you or your colleague can follow up on this on ODM2DataSharingPortal Github issues page.

This is a known issue and I did already post to github about it, but if you want to add more info you can go to that post:  https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/issues/551

@shicks, thanks for your help anyway Shannon.  @aufdenkampe, any insight on the code above would be greatly appreciated.

@neilh20, yes all setups are the same.  Some work fine, others have issues with dropping out.  I have spare Mayflies and a spare CTD, but no spare turbidity sensor.  Did you ever end up producing your Mayfly wings for the 0.5…[Read more]

Hi @shicks.  I’m just wondering if you saw anything in the code above that might be causing this problem?

Regards,

James

Hi @shicks and @neilh20

I’m leaning more towards an interaction with the MODBUS wing.  I had one station that produced -9999’s constantly when the Turbidity sensor was plugged in, and operated fine when I removed the MODBUS wing.  This drove me nuts until Anthony pointed me towards the complex loop code where I set the Turbidity sensor to low a…[Read more]

@shicks

I emailed the sketch and the associate pio .ini file.

Thanks for looking into this.

@shicks just wondering if the RS485 schematic is likely to be published, and of course if the parts are likely to be available. Many thanks.

After probing the screw term adapter, I don’t think that it will work for my purposes as I described above. If I’m correct, the way the adapter’s voltage divider works is this: When the S1 jumper is set to Res-Div and two matched resistors are installed on the S1 side of the adapter, the voltage output on the Grove’s D1 pin will be half of the…[Read more]

@neilh20 @shicks @vogelrnws

Hi all! Thank you for all of your feedback and tips! I spent some time this week looking at the mqtt3.thingspeak.com server and I was able to get a channel up and running on it.

Overall, it’s not drastically different than mqtt.thingspeak.com. The main aspect being removed in the legacy Thingspeak server is the API…[Read more]

@shicks Aaaah, sorry to hear that. Hopefully the fix won’t be too bad.

Thanks for posting that code so quickly! I didn’t have time to look at it until today. I had an older version of Modular Sensors downloaded and so I tried running it with the code you sent and with a few edits in order to get it logging to thingspeak, it was practically plug…[Read more]

Hey @shicks. Thanks for the lightning fast response.

That worked! Just had to download it from the link you sent.

Really excited to start working with the v1.0! Thank you all for your great hardware, communication, documentation, and quick responses!
