I’m looking for recommendations for N2O sensors. We are looking for 0-100 ppm range and curious if others have any that they recommend. Hoping for sensor cost under $2000 and shipped from the US so we don’t have to navigate duty and institutional rules for international purchases.

This is maybe semantics, but the Mayfly wouldn’t be a source of quality (or the lack thereof). That’s the sensor’s job. CTDs are usually pretty durable.

The instructions here: https://www.envirodiy.org/mayfly/software/ say to not use 2.0. I don’t use the Arduino IDE for anything but getting people started. But the tutorial I sent will lead you to this Mayfly driver and through a whole set of steps that will get you up and running. It may look TLDR, but I think it will help.

Don’t kick me for this, but is the Mayfly turned on? There’s a little toggle switch near the USB jack.

Sometimes they do get “fried” and others know the trouble-shooting steps better than I do, but I see users missing the on-off toggle a lot.

@neilh, we have a calculated temperature compensation in Modular Sensors if you ever need it. It’s extremely negligible in groundwater temp ranges.

@mbarney, the Meter discrepancy is a bit annoying. Was your March order a bare wire or stereo plug?

I spent the day outside yesterday, adding more sensors to two existing stations, which included some RS485 sensors. I’ll share how I did it and that will hopefully help you along!
