Scott Ensign replied to the topic Using AltSoftSerial with Mayfly in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 2 years, 8 months ago
Problem solved. As Sara has noted before, the AltSoftSerial can only use pin 6 on the Mayfly for receiving and pin 5 for transmitting. So, while the sketch worked with Software Serial as shown above (and would have worked by defining pin 6 for transmitting and pin 5 for receiving), my pairing of the sensor rx and tx wires to the Grove jack was…[Read more]

Scott Ensign replied to the topic Using AltSoftSerial with Mayfly in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 2 years, 8 months ago
I’m struggling to use AltSoftSerial in place of Software Serial to connect an Atlas-Scientific Color sensor to a Mayfly. The script below successfully communicates and reports sensor data as expected with Software Serial (with lines 21 and 26 active instead of lines 22 and 27 as shown below). As shown below I don’t get any data from the sensor.…[Read more]

Hi Vinay and Cheryl. It is great to see your teamwork sharing and troubleshooting! Just a tip: you can more easily share Arduino sketches on this website by posting questions and answering them in the Mayfly Data […]

Scott Ensign replied to the topic How to dump contents of file on SD card to serial in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 2 years, 9 months ago
Hi @Selbig. Here is a very simple sketch that prints a file from the microSD card to the serial monitor. It might be too rudimentary for your purposes, but thought I would share it here. Notice the line “// SD.remove(“datalog.txt”);” is commented out. Uncomment this line to DELETE the file specified instead of printing it to the serial monitor. I…[Read more]

Fiona, if you haven’t already found it, check out Adam Gold’s blog about using the Mayfly with Atlas Scientific sensors. Adam’s github has documentation about a carrier board that may involve isolation.

In the beginning, there were transistors, rudimentary environmental sensors housed in wooden boxes, and pencil and paper for recording data. Today, we program microcontrollers and make our own environmental […]

Hi Dan,
We recently did some internal testing of this issue and will post results soon. We don’t have a “fix”, but we did measure this behavior to guide our own interpretation of data.

<p class=”crayon-selected”>Hi James,</p>
I’ve used Atlas Scientific’s RGB sensor on lagrangian river drifters in the past. The application is written up in Limnology and Oceanography (or see this video abstract of the article). I’m attaching two simple sketches for using this sensor with the Mayfly Data Logger. The first (…AutoMode) just prints…[Read more] -

Thanks, Neil. That’s helpful to know that ThingSpeak via Modular Sensors might be a better option for this user’s purposes. He has an interesting classroom laboratory application that I’ll encourage him to share if he is able to pilot it at his college.

It was a good day for brown trout in the Manistee River. The hot July weather in northern Michigan had pushed the water temperature up into the low 70s. That pushed oxygen levels down, so the trout needed to stay […]

WOW. Excellent post Scott.
This really shows how all the pieces work together and how the data is being used in real-time and for future monitoring.
Thanks.
