I ran the “pio lib install” command and got the following:

I figured out how to get terminal which is the sketch output window.  Took a while to realize that the .ini file overides the terminal settings and was at the wrong baud rate to test output from my set RTC sketch.

I copied a SODAQ…h file to “lib” when the compiler was looking for that.

Next step is pio lib uninstall xxx  but not sure what x…[Read more]

I have platformIO working with atom and get a compile error with the blink example.  I checked https://github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors/issues/247 opened a terminal but get a bash script error with “pio lib update”

How to I get to the terminal in atom?

Hi Beth-

I downloaded your tutorial that you started a 1 1/2 years ago.  Is there any chance you finished it?  It looks like just what I need as and Arduino IDE user trying to transition to PlatformIO.  I have gotten a lot of information from Sara’s threads on this forum but looks like your tutorial would be very helpful for me.

Thanks

Jim

Hi Shannon-

I think I will go with the 2G network for my project.  I am not having much luck finding a source for the SIM800H.  Adafruit has them but on a different board. I ran all the numbers on the attached photo thru Dr Google without much luck.

Can you provide me with appropriate links to purchase this and the other bits and pieces I w…[Read more]

Hi Evan-

I can’t provide any info on ThingSpeak and only have a limited knowledge based on some Dr Google research last night.  I currently have six of my Low cost EC stations deployed in Great Marsh (N. Chester County) plus two of the Mayfly decagon stations (BCMC3S and..4S).  The six EC stations are currently logging data to the µSD cards an…[Read more]

Apparently TSA does not fill in for data gaps and only displays the most recent data.  I have had this problem when trying to fill in data gaps for SL150 when it was not communicating with the mother ship (MonMW).  These issues has been posted on github.  See issue 430 and 443

A bigger issues is MonMW was off the air when I checked last night. There were no Sparkline plots and TSA was dead.

Does anybody know whats going on?

For what its worth I uploaded data to GMI_EC#6 last night and no missing data. However I had uploaded data earlier but had the wrong sensor order. I deleted these sesnors add re added them in the correct order. The sampling feature UUID did not change but the Result UUIDs did.
Here is what I…[Read more]

Hi
I have built a low cost EC sensor using the Atlas Scientific probe. The EZO board for the pH sensor has the same interface so if you look on my recent blog I give all the details you should need. I assume you want to deploy this with battery power and solar recharge so the Mayfly will sleep most of the time. Setup code is included in my blog…[Read more]

Drew-
I can’t offer any specific suggestions for your problems but I recognize some of the code that I used for a similar project to gather Electrical Conductivity (EC) data. I have attached my writeup on this project which includes my code. I have several of these stations deployed and some for almost a year and have not experienced any of the…[Read more]

I noticed that Atlas Scientific sensors are not in the ModularSensors list. I have built two EC sensor stations that are currently deployed in Great Marsh primarily to monitor stormwater runoff from the Pa Tpk. Scott Ensign has suggested I write this project up in more detail. Sara, are you interested in adding these sensors to ModularSensors if…[Read more]

I can feel your pain, Cal. I am going to face the problem of data upload to the the cloud or whatever on some projects that I am contemplating. I have a Mayfly water sensor on my property and the 2G is working fine. Shannon has a small box that does a 2G site survey that we used before installation of SL149

I think the larger concern will be…[Read more]

Hi Stephen-

Generally all you need is a diode (1n914) and clamp resister, 10 K, to the 3.3 Volt bus. This will isolate the higher rs232 voltage from the Mayfly. This is not totally spec (the diode drop gets added to your logic levels) but should work.
Shannon can probably add to this in case he has tried the cheap and dirty solution and it…[Read more]
