Hi All,
We are in an area that experiences a 5-6 foot tidal range, and many of our sites are composed of salt marsh with soft, muddy substrate. Has anyone had any issues using the suggested rebar installation in this type of environment? I’d like to avoid the possibility of sediment burying our sensor setup and was curious if anyone had more…[Read more]

A couple bits of additional info. To visually identify whether your Hydros 21 is a Gen 1 or a Gen 2, see attached photos of the sensor head on each version. Note that some Gen 1’s had red cables, but not all.
Second, as Shannon noted in the post she linked to above, the address-setting on the Gen 2 is slightly more finicky; you just have to…[Read more]

Yes, the update made to the ModularSensors code in in order to fix Hydros 21 is backwards compatible. I mentioned it last week in this post: https://www.envirodiy.org/topic/hydros-21-decagon-ctd-reading-error/#post-17066
It seems that in the past year Meter Group made some changes to the amount of time the CTD sensors need to take a…[Read more]

Does the new setting still work with the older sensors? Do we need to maintain 2 sets of code? Thx.

I don’t recall seeing any announcement on the forums, so I thought I’d share with everyone that the latest Hydros 21 sensors (Generation 2) require ModularSensors version 0.33.3 or later. We recently learned this after replacing a failed sensor in the field, and our Mayfly could no longer communicate with it. Since we have dozens of EnviroDIY…[Read more]

Shannon Hicks replied to the topic Error setting Hydros21 address in the forum Environmental Sensors 1 week, 1 day ago
When you’re connected to the Mayfly with your computer, open the Arduino IDE’s Serial Monitor and check the settings of the dropdown box in the lower right hand part of the windows next to the baud rate. It should be set to “No line ending”. If you have it set to anything else, you’ll usually get an error when setting the address using that s…[Read more]

Matt Barney started the topic Error setting Hydros21 address in the forum Environmental Sensors 1 week, 2 days ago
I’m getting the error “Not a valid address” when using the b_address_change.ino sketch in Arduino IDE. However, the address does appear to be getting set as expected, and I can change it to 2 and back to 1; it outputs the error each time, so it just looks a little odd. I’ll attach the output from the serial monitor below.
This is with a new Gen 2…[Read more]

Shannon Hicks replied to the topic Hydros 21/Decagon CTD: reading error in the forum Environmental Sensors 1 week, 2 days ago
Yes, it’s just one line (currently line 107) of the MeterHydros21.h file that contains the most important change, which is this line: #<span class=”pl-k”>define</span> <span class=”pl-en”>HYDROS21_MEASUREMENT_TIME_MS</span> <span class=”pl-c1″>1000</span>
The previous setting was 500 milliseconds but it turns out the new Gen 2 CTD sensors need…[Read more]

Matt Barney replied to the topic Hydros 21/Decagon CTD: reading error in the forum Environmental Sensors 1 week, 2 days ago
We’ve just had a failure to communicate with our newest Hydros 21 sensors (likely Gen 2). While I’ve had success setting the address with the b_address_change sketch, my standard Mayfly code can’t talk to the sensor and returns values of -9999. It looks to me like the SDI-12 library has not changed since May 2021…[Read more]

I would like to monitor temperature, of water, ground and air. I was thinking of building one wired sensor to the water, then another wired sensor to ground and air. Thus I would need two OneWire Bus Pins, .and the one OneWire Bus pin would have two sensors attached.
Using a few Arduino Example sketches I can get this to work and read, mu…[Read more]
