Sorry for the delay. I’m planning to use it in an H-flume that has a maximum depth of 0.45 meters. It looks like precision is listed as 0.25 mm but I’m okay with accuracy closer to 2 mm.

And thanks for the sensor range info. I’ll plan to install the eTape in a probe well attached to the flume that extends below the flume entrance elevation. I will plan to test it for changes in temperature (air and water).

I’m hoping to power it directly from the MayFly with a LIPO battery. And yes, I’m hoping to lean on the ModularSensors library even though the eTape sensor is not listed as a supported sensor: https://github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-sensors

Any help on how to navigate that process? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response, Neil. I’m basing the idea that the sensor is calibrated on the following response from Milone when I asked about the difference between the standard voltage divider setup and the other more expensive (+$45) output modules:

“<span data-olk-copy-source=”MessageBody”>If you go with the standard voltage divider, each sensor would have to be characterized/calibrated individually.  We calibrate sensor assemblies with the 0-3.3V/0-5V output modules in house before sending them out. Therefore, the latter will give you the best accuracy.”</span>
