@srgdamiano – You have done some good work on developing/improving the ModularSensors library. After struggling to get the “logging_to_EnviroDIY” sketch to upload consistently to EnviroDIY portal, I have found the ModularSensors library to run much better with less HTTP POST timeouts. Before I switched I ended up heavily modifying the older exa…[Read more]

@srgdamiano, thanks for making it really clear that the issues folks have been facing are primarily on the side of Digi’s LTE-M XBee3 hardware/software, and the work you’ve done with the ModularSensors code are all work-arounds to deal with the instability of Digi’s LTE-M XBee3 hardware/software when running on the Mayfly hardware.

I had failed…[Read more]

@srgdamiano, thanks talking to me on the phone Wednesday afternoon, explaining to me all your recent advances and successes.

All, I just answered that question on GitHub here: https://github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors/issues/162#issuecomment-459879699

Here it is, also pasted below.

From what I understand, to get the Digi XBee3 LTE-M module…[Read more]

@w3asa Hi Jim, I figured I’d address the Atlas Scientific code question in this forum. I sent a pull request to the Modular Sensors library on GitHub yesterday with some messy code that I got to work with temperature, EC, and DO Atlas sensors using I2C, and it looks like @srgdamiano already made a new branch of the Modular Sensors library called…[Read more]

@srgdamiano, that is great news. Do your recent discoveries lead to a clear path for getting this to work with ModularSensors on the Mayfly?

Sounds like Modular Sensors Library? The original versions had 2 minute readings scheduled at the beginning of logging to make it quick/easy to see if a station was logging upon deployment. I think @srgdamiano recently removed this from the new version of the Modular code.

Thankyou @fisherba thankyou!!!. I got the Xbee SB6 wifi communicating to data.envirodiy.org

I’ve cloned locally github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors
then set to develop

My 2-cents on which branch to use is that the *model* structure is that end users work from the master branch. @neilh20 might be overqualified as an end user, so if future readers show up on this thread for help, they may be mislead by the notion that develop is the better branch.

But the Modular branches have been so very active in development…[Read more]

Hi @srgdamiano, Thanks for the headsup on new enviroDIY/TinyGSM release. I can see init changes on https://github.com/EnviroDIY/TinyGSM/branches

I did start with Mayfly setup:
const char *wifiId = “MyGuest”; // The WiFi access point, unnecessary for gprs
const char *wifiPwd = “”; // The password for connecting to WiFi, unnecessary for gprs

Hi @srgdamiano –

SensorBase Class – I’m a C guy trying for some class – but I’ll take the power switching where ever those in the higher classes deem it 🙂 Let me know where I could pull from when its available.

I hear you about AltSoftSerial – I got a gray hair just thinking about it – but its the way RS485 wingboard plugs into the Mayfly…[Read more]

Hi
I’m running into a low power issue with the sensors/RS485 turned off.
There is a backfeed going on, which leaves SW_3.3V at about 2V and LED3 comes on.

I think @aufdenkampe gave me a hint of this and described a solution
https://github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors/issues/140 in discussion with @srgdamiano

However I can’t find it in the…[Read more]

Hi @srgdamiano – wonderful to work through the code. Very readable and nicely laid out. Very nice to step through the classes. I’m mostly used C, TinyOS/nesC, Python and now JS. But great to see realtime cpp -all on mega1284 device!!!

DEBUGGING: that was what I was looking for. after seeing a line in the macro file I was guessing some trick out…[Read more]

Hi Neil,

I spent the day outside yesterday, adding more sensors to two existing stations, which included some RS485 sensors. I’ll share how I did it and that will hopefully help you along!
The stations are: https://data.envirodiy.org/sites/WSP01/ and
https://data.envirodiy.org/sites/WSP02/.

My sensor station added RS485 sensors and a new…[Read more]

Hi all,

I just wired up a temp compensation on MB7389, and after I dumped everything and re-cloned the modular library master branch (managed through GitHub Desktop) after the re-clone it worked for me.

This example sketch that Sara recommended above also seems to work ok (in pin…[Read more]

Danny, thanks for all your work on implementing these slave-side additions to our Arduino SDI-12 library (https://github.com/EnviroDIY/Arduino-SDI-12)! We really appreciate your contributions!

As you mentioned, @srgdamiano has been very actively working on all of the Arduino libraries that our Mayfly depends on for communicating with…[Read more]
