I believe the sensor stop reporting normal values exactly when I restarted the board. I’ll have to check to make sure the sensor connector has a good connection. I believe we’re using the Grove stereo jack adapter board. (I didn’t assemble or program it. I am maintaining it.) I’ve attached a photo of the board. We do not have a celular board…[Read more]

Pressing the rest button only makes the logger code restart, the same as if you turned the power switch off and then back on, so it shouldn’t cause the sensor to stop working. Did the sensor stop reporting normal values exactly when you restarted the board? Did you accidently bump the sensor connector inside your enclosure and cause a bad…[Read more]

Ok, then the battery and charging system is working properly. I was under the false impression that the charging light was supposed to be lit constantly. However, I did make the mistake of hitting the reset button and now I’m not getting readings from the sensor in the stream. I’m only getting the battery level and the board temperature. The…[Read more]

The yellow LED on the Mayfly board indicates when the battery is actively being charged. If the battery is fully charged, then the yellow LED will be off. What does the data card file say the battery voltage was when you experienced the issue of the yellow LED not being lit? The Red and Green LEDs near the battery jack are programmed to blink…[Read more]

Hello,
We installed a Mayfly Data Logger on Sept 10, 2020. We are using the manual downloading method of retrieving data and I’ve done so three times as of now. When I opened the box to swap out the cards yesterday (the third time), I noticed the battery charging indicator light was not blinking. I checked all of the connections and cleaned off…[Read more]

I just checked Amazon and no Protoshields showing. I guess shipment processing isn’t one day turnaround!

I can confirm Sara’s idea to wait before the marking and not during seems to be more reliable, I had an issue where (rarely) the sensors did not answer to a measurement request, this seems to fixed this.
It is hard to be 100% sure about this since it doesn’t happen often but it seems to be better this way, and since it is also SDI-12 spec…[Read more]
