I got it to compile on the Arduino IDE, so there’s must be a tangle in your library structure.  Can you open the library folder (probably in my documents/arduino if you’re using windows) and look at your folders and make sure you only have one TinyGSM?  Can you open the TinyGSM folder and open “TinyGsmCommon.h” and check the version number?

Oh dear.  I forgot to test on the Arduino IDE.  I’ll start looking into it.

The Hologram dashboard should say “Verizon” in some way if it connected to that network.  The Hologram SIMs do work on Verizon, but they nearly always connect to AT&T in my experience.  There was a thread just a bit ago about setting the carrier profiles for the LTE-M XBee3’s , and for the time being we’ve decided that the default of “…[Read more]

Re-Wrote for you.  I didn’t even test if it compiles, but this should get you going with concurrent measurements:

/*The Sensor Orientation Index. This number is two when the sensor is upward facing, one when the sensor is downward facing, and zero
when orientation is undetermined.*/

#include <SDI12.h>
#include <SD.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include…

Is your goal to read all of your sensors and write to your SD card as fast as you possibly can?  You could get faster readings by using concurrent sampling on the Decagons like this:  https://github.com/EnviroDIY/Arduino-SDI-12/blob/master/examples/k_concurrent_logger/k_concurrent_logger.ino

Well, setting the profile to ‘1’ might work fine for the long term; I really have no idea.  It just makes me a bit nervous.

And @mbarney, WRT buying new parts.. I’m still not happy with the failure rate of the XBee’s, but I don’t have any suggestions for anything better.

The newest firmware update includes the most recent u-blox update.  [L0.0.00.00.05.08 App version 02.04, released 20May19]  It requires using USB direct mode, but if you have the XBee3 TH dev board, it’s painless.  I recommend updating.

There have been big warnings all over the place for the last several versions saying not to use bypass mo…[Read more]

One of the things I don’t get is that all of the modules I’m working with are ones that had previously connected fine without the carrier profile set.  Why did they stop?

Grumble, grumble.. I just feel really, really dumb.

In the mean time, while I was stupidly missing the one setting I needed for the XBee3’s, I completely re-wrote TinyGSM to…[Read more]

I opened the stack of XBee3’s that wouldn’t connect and, low and behold, setting CP1 got almost all of them to connect.  I feel like an idiot.  @ckillen, thank you so much for that catch.  ModularSensors will be changed.  I feel really, really dumb.

Interestingly, despite the face that I’m pretty sure there’s better service with Verizon here tha…[Read more]

I cannot believe I didn’t think about this setting!  I am ashamed of myself.  I will test it out.  😮

I’m pretty certain that the CP command that the XBee3 implements is a pass through to the u-blox UMNOPROF (Mobile Network Operator profile) command where setting 1 is “SIM ICCID select.” The operator profile encompasses both settings like the in…[Read more]

Interesting.  Why did you chose the particle?  Have they worked well for you?  I got a few particle boards to tinker with but I haven’t actually even gotten as far as plugging them in.

@aufdenkampe, I’m sure that the Tagolas did better when it was new.  You can’t really tell in my picture, but all of my bigger antennas are sort-of crumpled from being dragged back and forth in my backpack and getting shuffled around on my desk.

Most cellular antennas are very wide band or ultra wide band – they cover a lot of frequencies.   An…[Read more]

@ckillen – yes, that is correct.

You know, though, I’ve never actually done it.  Time to walk down the hall to borrow Shannon’s soldering iron..

All of the network selection/registration is done by the u-blox firmware.  The Mayfly’s mcu tells the Digi mcu to tell the u-blox mcu to automatically select the network.  ModularSensors doesn’t even both to ask which network gets selected.  It could ask, but I never cared enough to implement it.

ModularSensors is also requesting automatic se…[Read more]

I’m sorry!  It looks like it somehow missed the dependencies in the install.  Try running the command pio lib install EnviroDIY_ModularSensors

Hm.  Did you restart VSCode after changing the path?

The git problem is probably another “path” issue.  Did you add git to your “path” when you installed it?  I don’t remember if the installer gives you the option.

Try checking your path and adding the directory where git installed to it.  The git executable (git.exe) is probable installed in “C:Program FilesGitbin”  Here are some instructions for…[Read more]

The DRWI_CitSci.ino, once corrected, is what will go in the src/main.cpp location correct?

Correct.  🙂

The platformio.ini you need is here:  https://github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors/tree/master/examples/DRWI_CitSci

I’ve had problems with the python path before, not just with platformio, but with other programs as well.  I’ve had to un…[Read more]

If you are still getting library compiler errors after fixing your sketch, I would strongly prefer to guide you through using PlatformIO. It really is easier, even though it feels much more “programmer” then the more “hobbiest” Arduino IDE.

Very , very briefly:

1. Open the “PlatformIO home”, and create a new project
2. After your project is…
