Oh also forgot to mention that I’m fairly certain I’ve switched the meter hydros 21 factory address away from 0 in the past.

Using ModularSensors doesn’t necessarily require the sensors to be directly connected to the Mayfly. They could be, but they don’t have to be. In the case of a lot of inexpensive sensors sold as breakout boards, the Mayfly connects and talks directly to the sensor, but most of the not-bare-circuit sensors have black-box layers between the raw…[Read more]

Ok great, thank you for taking a look. Yes I2C is too short range for the applications I have in mind, but I have some experience with RS485 so that sounds like a good option.
I’m not very familiar with your ecosystem, but would using ModularSensors require the Mayfly to be connected directly to the sensor? So if my sensors are natively I2C, I…[Read more]

I spent some time skimming your GitHub code for your device. If your logger is using a simple serial protocol to communicate with your GUI controller, it should also be able to communicate with the Mayfly (with or without Modular Sensors) in the same way if you expose the Serial (or AltSoftSerial) pins.
ModularSensors already supports the MS5803…[Read more]

We don’t have any set requirements for connection. The Mayfly can communicate with almost anything that could communicate with an Arduino-style device. Many users opt to user our ModularSensors library to run their loggers, but that library supports many protocols.
SDI-12 devices are very common in the environmental sensing field, so we have a…[Read more]

Hi, I develop and maintain the OpenOBS project, a low cost, open source sensor for turbidity, pressure, and temperature measurements. These are self-contained with a custom datalogger so that you can seal them up in a 1″ PVC and deploy underwater without anything installed onshore. However, I’m curious about pairing the sensors we have developed…[Read more]
