I currently have six of the subject sensor stations (Photo of GMI_EC2 attached) deployed and logging data to SD cards. I recently setup two of these stations using PlatformIO to load the DRWI_CitSci.ino code with the AtlasScientificEC.h patched in. This library function did not match my hardware which uses the Sensorex probe with the Atlas EZO circuit operating in UART communication mode. I attached a photo of my temporary setup to get the station uploading to MonMW with the EZO circuit set for I2C.
The mods I need to the Atlas Scientific ModularSensors library are shown in the following code snippets from my arduino IDE code which I am currently using.
12345//float K_temp = 0.034; //2/17/19 update with new LM35float m = -.0927, b = 72.653; //Calibration for RTD on Sensorex probefloat EC, EC25;float alpha; //Temperature correction to EC at 25Cfloat K0 = 0.018, K1 = 8E-5, K2 = 1E-6;12345//correct EC to 25C reference using data from Hanna 1413uS standardEC = sensorstring.toFloat();alpha = K2 * pow(Temp0, 2) + K1 * Temp0 + K0;EC25 = EC / (1 + alpha * (Temp0 - 25));addFloatToString(data, EC25, 4, 1);I am not a comp sci major so tweeking the ModularSensor library is way above my pay grade so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

@srgdamiano I decided to go back to basics with ModularSensors – getting started but took a while to get PCsync to load. See attached screenshot with the corrections I had to make on the src_dir.
What is the function of the .pio folder and is it automatically populated when creating a new project? I had to manually load the .pio/mayfly folder from another project to get PCsync to load.
I finally got that all working and reporting the time on the serial monitor but when I launched PCsync.exe it responded with “no FTDI found” and I did have the code running in the mayfly and connected to my PC (Windows 10). Any thoughts where my problem may be?
Thanks

Hi Sara @srgdamiano
I think I have gone as far as I am able on my Low Cost EC sensor project. I added #include <sensors/ExternalVoltage.h> to the DRWI_CitSci code and registered GMI_test site using new ExternalVoltage_Volt(&extvolt) from the Sensorex RTD votage divider as a proxy for temperature. I need to apply a simple linear correction (y=mx + b) to have the readings on MonMW in ºC rather than voltage.
Is there anyway to do this in the main code or do I need a new #include <AtlasSensorex.h> to do the job?
If so how hard would this be or more to the point could you add this to the ModularSensors library?
Thanks

Hi Adam-
Thanks for getting back to me. Since my software expertise is limited and I don’t understand how all the code in ModularSensors works I have not been able to get “calculated variable” to compile in my simple_logging.ino code. I have been successful in getting the code to work with external_voltage and the Atlas EZO circuits (EC and pH). I attached a screenshot of what works with the calculated variable code commented out. I suspect my problem has something to do with pointers.
Your help would be appreciated. I probably need step by step instructions of if there simple fix to my code that would be great!
Thanks

Thanks Chuck for offering to help with my coding issues. I have two sets of code that I am currently testing with my Low Cost Sensor Station. Simple_logging.ino is working on my mayfly platform which I am using to test the compensation routines to convert the raw data from the AtlasScientific EC sensor and the RTD temperature probe to µS and ºC.123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434445464748495051525354555657585960616263646566676869707172737475767778798081828384858687888990919293949596979899100101102103104105106107108109110111112113114115116117118119120121122123124125126127128129130131132133134135136137138139140141142143144145146147148149150151152153154155156157158159160161162163164165166167168169170171172173174175176177178179180181182183184185186187188189190191192193194195196197198199200201202203204205206207/*****************************************************************************simple_logging.inoWritten By: Sara Damiano (sdamiano@stroudcenter.org)Development Environment: PlatformIOHardware Platform: EnviroDIY Mayfly Arduino DataloggerSoftware License: BSD-3.Copyright (c) 2017, Stroud Water Research Center (SWRC)and the EnviroDIY Development TeamThis sketch is an example of logging data to an SD cardDISCLAIMER:THIS CODE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" - NO WARRANTY IS GIVEN.*****************************************************************************/// ==========================================================================// Defines for the Arduino IDE// In PlatformIO, set these build flags in your platformio.ini// ==========================================================================// ==========================================================================// Include the base required libraries// ==========================================================================#include <Arduino.h> // The base Arduino library#include <EnableInterrupt.h> // for external and pin change interrupts#include <LoggerBase.h> // The modular sensors library// ==========================================================================// Data Logger Settings// ==========================================================================// The name of this fileconst char *sketchName = "simple_logging.ino";// Logger ID, also becomes the prefix for the name of the data file on SD cardconst char *LoggerID = "TestRTD";// How frequently (in minutes) to log dataconst uint8_t loggingInterval = 1;// Your logger's timezone.const int8_t timeZone = -5; // Eastern Standard Time// NOTE: Daylight savings time will not be applied!

Thanks Chuck for getting my Sensorex RTD voltage divider output converted to °C. I plan to leave the EC as the raw value from the AtlasScientific EZO circuit. Attached is the code addition to DRWI_CitSci.ino to get the Sensorex probe data published to MonMW:

Hi Sara @srgdamiano
I haven’t used PIO for several months but in preparation for the transition from 2G to 4G I launched PIO this week and it apparently did an upgrade and now my code won’t load.
I get the following error:
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
PIO is currently core 4.3.4 and home 3.2.3
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Is your Mayfly turned on and plugged in? That error means your Mayfly isn’t being detected.

Thanks. I am using the FTDI port and wiggled some plugs, etc and now is loading ok. I assume when I was getting that error the mayfly was plugged in and turned on because when I attempt to load with the pwr switch turned off I get the following error:
Uploading .pio\build\mayfly\firmware.hexavrdude: ser_open(): can’t open device “\\.\COM4”: Access is denied.avrdude done. Thank you.*** [upload] Error 1I guess a bad connection somewhere. -

The access is denied error doesn’t mean the Mayfly is off, it means something else (another program or window on your computer) is monopolizing that serial port. Usually you see it when you try to upload a program or start a serial port monitor when another serial port monitor was already running.
If you have the Mayfly plugged directly into the USB of your computer and the Mayfly is off, the error is more to the effect that the serial port doesn’t exist, not access is denied. If you’re using something like an ftdi friend between the Mayfly and your computer, you’ll see avrdude sync errors if the Mayfly is off.
