Thanks Shannon! Some testing and an example sketch would be very helpful.

That’s a good find. We haven’t tried one of those with the Mayfly boards yet, but we’ll have to buy one and see what all might be needed to get it to work properly. Previous Digi boards required our now-discontinued bee adapter board to change the pin assignments and power supply options in order to work with the Mayfly v0.5 boards. But the…[Read more]

Hello EnviroDIY,
The Digi Xbee modem XB3-C-A2-UT-001 was recently replaced with a new version: XB3-C-GM1-UT-001. The product change notification (attached) claims that the new modem is a “drop in replacement” for the discontinued model. Before I put in an order for these to replace my older, failed Xbee modems, I wanted to check with the forum…[Read more]

@tumayflybearriver – thanks for brining it up. Its nuts, but looks to me like the signature of “thrown away data” by ModularSensors software that runs on the Mayfly, and the ODM2 software on monitormywatershed.
I’ve raised the issue of reliable delivery in 2018, and implemented it on my systems and offered it to the mainline Modu…[Read more]

Have you been to the station to clean the sensor lately? Also, I’d recommend replacing the logger’s battery with a fully-charged one. Sometimes when those battery packs are starting to fail (from corrosion on the terminals under the plastic wrapper) they will generate noise which can sometimes affect the sensor readings.

Beginning two weeks ago (September 2) my EnviroDIY station (VCRP1) equipped with a METER CTD sensor began displaying troughs and flickers in recorded stream depth that don’t correspond to true changes in depth as actually measured. Weirdly, the troughs and flickers occur at precisely the same times in almost precisely the same patterns on a…[Read more]

No, the Mayfly datalogger doesn’t know if any data is missing from the website, it just tries to send it every 5, 10, or 15 minutes (or whatever interval it is programmed for). If the data doesn’t get to the website database, the logger won’t know, and doesn’t send any old data to fill in the gaps. You’ll need to visit the station and manually…[Read more]

Hello,
We set this Mayfly up in 2022 and have had relatively no issue with it but now as I look at the website it shows gaps in my data. I checked everything out in person and there seems to be no issue with the equipment. I am guessing that maybe it is related to the cellphone service? When these gaps in data happen, does the Mayfly adjust and…[Read more]

I’ve been swamped lately, so I’m behind on sensor requests.
<div>
<div>@fionasouthwell Are you sure you’re measuring *specific conductance*? From what I know of the Atlas sensors, they don’t measure specific conductance, they measure conductivity. I just very quickly skimmed their latest manual and it doesn’t look like that’s changed. To get…[Read more]
