What sensor(s) are you using with the board? Have you reprogrammed the sketch onto the Mayfly recently, or are you using a board that was programmed last year or earlier? Some people seems to be having issues with boards not sleeping/waking properly using the most recently SDI12 libraries, so if you’ve recently reprogrammed the board, then th…[Read more]

I tested our loggers in our University’s greenhouse and it seemed like our batteries/solar panels were working just well. However, in the field, one of our loggers pretty much ran out of juice within the span of like an hour. We ended up replacing it with…[Read more]

Here are the results with the blue spirulina that has a known phycocyanin concentration (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XC7KSRP?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title). PPB readings are still off.

No, LiFePO4 batteries should never be used with a Mayfly board because the onboard charging circuitry is only designed to work with 3.7v Lithium Ion packs. There’s a summary of important battery information and options here: https://www.envirodiy.org/battery-options-mayfly/
