It looks like when you created your sketch, instead of starting with a completely empty file you pasted your code into the middle of the Arduino IDE’s placeholder code.  So there are chunks of that at the beginning and end which you need to remove.

From the beginning, delete this :

void setup() { // put your setup code here, to run once: }…[Read more]

That’s a lot of compiler errors!

Could you post your program (“sketch_jan07a.ino”)?  I’m guessing based on the errors that there might be a stray quotation mark or a missing semicolon somewhere that’s throwing the whole thing off.

It looks like you have also some of the libraries installed multiple times and I’m guessing some might not be…[Read more]

You shouldn’t really need the development board.  If you’re going to use a bunch of the XBee’s I’d say it’s a $70 well spent, but you shouldn’t *need* it.

Nothing looks wrong in your program.  I’m guessing you’re just not connecting to the internet.  What build flags are you running with?  Can you set all of these and post the log from the ser…[Read more]

We haven’t figured out why we’ve had such a high failure rate with the LTE-M XBee3’s.  It’s pretty discouraging.

I know there was an upload issue with the outputs you tried to post.  (I think our wonderful webmaster is working to allow ino files to be posted.)  But from what you did post, if TinyGSM was able to tell you that the modem was a “u…[Read more]

No active bootloader is… bad.  Are you trying to talk to the XBee3 by way of the Mayfly or do you have a separate adapter board (like the Digi development board or a UartSBee or something similar)?  It’s not impossible to use the Mayfly as a carrier board to connect your XBee3 to XCTU, but it won’t work that way “out of the box.”  The LTE ad…[Read more]

I’m sorry I haven’t been responding.

Right now the ModularSensors library doesn’t directly support LoRa or any other “radio” type communications – it’s designed around a board which has its own internet connection.  You could make it work with an ethernet/radio bridge, but it would take some more work.  So far we haven’t had enough sites where t…[Read more]

Posting here is really the best way.  You can attach the output as a text file.

@aufdenkampe – any thoughts?

Postman automatically tacks on more standard http headers than I include in the post from ModularSensors.  I wonder if one of them is making a difference. In PostMan after making a request you can click the “Headers” tab and you’ll see 8 or 9 “temporary” headers that it used in addition to your token header.  M…[Read more]

I think the Hydros 21 takes half a second or so to warm up and take a sample, so it’s probably fine.  It’s turbidity sensors, sondes, and anything Yosemitech that are really the slow-pokes.

If you’re not worried about the small amount of extra data consumed on your cellular plan by those few extra characters, you could also just include the…[Read more]

Huh.  I’m not aware of any particular reason today would be worse than any other day.  There was an update to MonitorMW released on Thursday (1/23), but it mostly dealt with Leaf Pack data and shouldn’t be affecting anything today.

The loop that requests values from sensors only queries sensors that have an associated variable in the variable list.  So if you don’t put the ds3231Temp in your variable list, the program will never actually ask the DS32321 for the temperature.  In that case, the value returned by ds3231Temp->getValue() in your calculation equation will just b…[Read more]

Fix pushed.

@lemmon – most of them were deployed in the field working and stopped for no apparent reason.  I didn’t realize we’d had so many failures until Shannon dumped them on my desk the other day.

@mbarney – we’ve gone back and forth over and over about the transparent-vs-bypass issue.  My experience has generally been that the modem connects more q…[Read more]

@shicks came over to my office yesterday with a pile of LTE XBee3’s that will no longer connect to the internet.  We’re going to buy some alternative types of modems to see if any of them are any better.

LOL!

Doh!  I’m sorry, I was confusing you with Dan who was troubleshooting issues with the UBee last week.  They’re even worse than the LTE XBee3’s.

The power isn’t your problem testing in the lab.  That seems a hair low for being connected to USB, but not concerning.  On the last bypass output that you posted from over the weekend, you did con…[Read more]

I just pushed some improvements yesterday to the EnviroDIY fork of TinyGSM that should help with the uBee.

Are you using the same program you posted earlier?  Can you post the output with debugging enabled?  (<span class="crayon-i">sensor</span><span class="crayon-sy">.</span><span class="crayon-e">setDebugStream</span><span class="crayon-sy">(</span><span class="crayon-sy">&Serial);</span> and capture the stream from the serial port monitor)  Are yo…[Read more]

I finally actually did some testing with my own board and managed to get most of the same errors you found in Bypass mode and pushed some corrections to TinyGSM.  It’s all about the issues with synchronous and asynchronous opening.  I figured out how to make it crash every time and (hopefully) how to make that not happen.  And the good news is th…[Read more]
