Oh, no, the hold for the URC *is* working. It’s just not holding for long enough. It gives up after 75s and the code wasn’t smart enough to differentiate between a ‘0’ = nothing in the returned buffer and ‘0’ = the modem returned that it opened the socket with 0 errors. The CSQ responses show good signal you’re already registered on the network…[Read more]

Now it’s the asynchronous open that’s causing trouble. That *should* be blocking. The program should not continue until the URC arrives. I will need to test that more.

Anyway, another change in TinyGSM:

    // Use an asynchronous open to reduce the number of terminal freeze-ups
    // This is still blocking until the URC arrives
    // The…

ModularSensors does NOT work using an ESP8266 of any flavor, including NodeMCU, as the main processor.

The Yosemitech library might; I’ve never tried.

Oh, and yes, the issue with NIST is really common. There have been a few GitHub issues about it. I’m trying to connect over TCP to the daytime server. That server is designed to respond to any incoming connection on port 37 with 4 bytes representing the current timestamp and immediately close the connection. A lot of the time the various…[Read more]

It’s awesome that you’ve created your own publisher!

Ok. I see what’s happening. The R410M takes a *really* long time to close sockets (like 2 minutes). To speed things up, I call the socket close “asynchronously” – that is, tell it to close and move on. But what I think is happening here is that I’m telling the socket to close before opening…[Read more]

Doh. Yes, I thought of that as I was driving home. Do add the lines setting the wake pin high.

Do you know what version of the firmware you’re running? To check, you can either hook it up to the u-blox m-center on your computer, run a pass through sketch and send it the commands AT+CGMR? and AT+GMR?, or tack these lines in after the modem…[Read more]

a. We saw no evidence that the sensor had any issue related to condensation during the tests given that there was a hydrophobic coating on the sensor face and that the bad data occurred at random temperatures as opposed to only when the temperatures were low.

That’s good to know. What was the fluoropolymer grease you used?

b. Reading out the…

Yes, it’s probably related to the same issues that @acgold had. These ublox modules just seem to be so much more finicky than the 2G SIM800’s were.

Could you try switching to the “ModemLast” branch? That’s where the most recent work is and I’d prefer to do more of the troubleshooting on that branch since it’s mostly modifications to the setup…[Read more]

sensors/YosemitechY504.h is part of the ModularSensors library, not part of the Yosemitech library.

You need to post more details of what exactly you’re trying to do and exactly what error messages you’re getting before I can help more.

I’ve attached some annotations showing what’s happening in your logs.

Ugh. I should just get one of these R410 uBee’s just to help other people out.

It looks like it’s powering down when it’s supposed to be waking up and visa-versa.

I could babble at length about it, but my first suggestion to try and make it work it is to add a ~500ms delay [delay(500);] after the modemPowerUp() and another matching delay after…[Read more]

The OBS3+ treats the low range and high range turbidity as if they’re two completely different things. So on Monitor My Watershed you actually have to create two different variables, one for each of the high and low range, just like you would separate temperature and depth from a CTD. I *strongly* recommend you add something to the notes field…[Read more]

In what way does it “not see it?”. You mean a program won’t compile? Or you cannot see the examples in the library drop downs? What does you library folder look like? Your program? Do you also have SensorModbusMaster installed and include that in your sketch? The Yosemitech library depends on it.

Is this what you’re looking for: https://github.com/EnviroDIY/YosemitechModbus

Did you download all of the libraries in this “Libraries” repository (https://github.com/EnviroDIY/Libraries)? I know there’s a big, green, inviting “download” button on the GitHub page, but because of the way the libraries are in linked repositories, if you download…[Read more]

I don’t remember exactly which models we’ve tested or which seems to be the best; maybe Shannon can pipe in.

No matter which you’re using, definitely do get the MaxTemp.

Did the modification I suggested get your board to go back to sleep and stay asleep?

I’m sorry I haven’t responded. My family is finally finished with a fun round of stomach bugs.

Were you by chance talking with @neilh or did you just happen to get to the same place at almost the same time coincidentally? Neil wrote up a fix for this in the SensorModbusMaster library, which I just accepted. If you update that library, you…[Read more]

Oops. I’d meant to cut the code using NeoSWSerial and SoftwareSerial from that particular example but apparently cut it only from the example platformio.ini file.

Can you post your platformio.ini file? Are you using Atom or VSCode? It shouldn’t make a difference for the code; I’m just asking so I can help you better. What versions of all…[Read more]

Yeah, it’s a known issue.
