I have installed some stations that use the Apogee thermopile pyranometers and pyrgeometers to measure incoming and outgoing shortwave and longwave radiation. These sensors don’t have their own source code in the modular sensors library, so I took the liberty of creating my own based on the Apogee SQ-212 files that already exist. The data I’m…[Read more]

Thanks for the quick response Sara. I have not used the build flag. Flags are not something I am familiar with, and I don’t know how to use or adjust them properly. Where would be the appropriate place to make this adjustment in the library?

I have installed several monitoring stations targeting environmental variables of interest for snow hydrology using the Mayfly as the data logger. One issue in particular that I have encountered is with logging data from my Meter Teros 12 sensors. I have three of these sensors connected to the SDI-12 pins on the Mayfly board, buried at three…[Read more]

I’ve attached the specs sheet to this reply. Maybe you can help me interpret it. The following is what I was told from Apogee when I asked about the heaters:
“Regarding the <span class=”markjqg79ytz9″ data-markjs=”true” data-ogac=”” data-ogab=”” data-ogsc=”black” data-ogsb=”rgb(255, 241, 0)”>heater</span>s, you do not need to operate them all the…[Read more]

Awesome. The XBee module is an RF module, the XBee Pro S3B. I just remembered, while the apogee sensors I am using don’t require power to make measurements, they do require power for the internal heater. The pyrgeometer heaters, according to the datasheet, draw 15.4 mA and 185 mW at 12 VDC. The pyranometers draw 30.8 mA and 370s mW at 12 VDC. In…[Read more]

Hi everyone, I’m wondering what is the best way to determine how much power I need to supply to run my Mayfly and the sensors attached, and how I properly size batteries and solar panels. The sensors I have attached that require power are 3 Meter Teros 12 sensors and 1 MaxBotix sonar sensor.
For the Meter sensors, the datasheet says that the…[Read more]

@srgdamiano Sorry to bother you on this, but I still need help understanding the issues I’ve had with the Teros library.

@srgdamiano were you able to look at the cpp code?

No worries! I also just wanted to let you know that I have run into similar issues using the Teros 11 files where it won’t record all of the measurements.

For anyone who would be interested in using these radio modules with modular sensors, I was able to transfer modular sensor readings from a Mayfly through the XBee Pro S3B to another XBee Pro S3B in transparent mode using the following lines of code in my void loop() function:

@srgdamiano could I get your help with these h/cpp files I created for the Teros 12 sensors? I am having some issues with my sensors not getting values other than -9999 when I have multiple Teros 12 sensors connected. When I use the Teros 11 modules, they all record together, which leads me to believe I set up my h/cpp files wrong. Could I get…[Read more]

Braedon replied to the topic XBee Networks of Mayfly Loggers – 900Mhz in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 8 months, 2 weeks ago
Yes, these two modules can be set up like a wire. I got a Mayfly to send information over the Pro S3B module to another module connected to a computer. I set them up on the XCTU in transparent mode, set the network IDs to be the same, and told the sender XBee what the serial address is of the receiver XBee. In transparent mode, anytime data is…[Read more]

Okay, so what do you think would be the best way to pull out the data generated from the logger object’s logData()? If it is easy to access it, then I feel it shouldn’t be too hard to just jump to a Serial1.print() statement once the logData() method is complete to send the data. Am I thinking this through correctly?

Braedon replied to the topic XBee Networks of Mayfly Loggers – 900Mhz in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 8 months, 2 weeks ago
@srgdamiano would you know if the XBee Pro S3B modules can be used with the ModularSensors library? I know how to send data over them using Serial1.print(), but I would like to use these 900 MHz modules with ModularSensors if that is possible. Thanks!

Can a 900 MHz XBee radio be used with the ModularSensors library? I noticed that there is are DigiXBee.cpp and DigiXBee.h files in the modems folder. Can modem objects created with that class be used with the logAndPublishData() function found in most ModularSensor examples that use XBees, or is there a different way of integrating 900 MHz XBee…[Read more]

@srgdamiano I made a header and cpp file for the Teros 12 by copying the 11 files and adjusting them. When I try to use it, the outputs recorded to my SD card are all -9999 values, and the column headers for the variables are never added (but it will add the headers for the other variables besides the Teros). I get the same problem when I use the…[Read more]

Okay, sorry I am not very software savvy (especially when it comes to C++). Would you suggest just copying and pasting the Teros 11 sensor files and then just adjusting the copy to handle the Teros 12? I’m not very confident in my abilities to make a new module that captures everything correctly.
