I am using a XBEE S6B wifi module for telemetery.
Current draw on the battery is between 100ma and 120ma when reading sensors and transmitting
Current draw is not measurable when…[Read more]

This board has only been used for software development but I was getting ready to deploy it.
I verified the battery is indeed…[Read more]

I attached screen shots below of my settings from XCTU (I deleted my personal network information). I have found by watching the diagnostics in the serial monitor that the S6B doesn’t connect very reliably to wifi to POST after making changes and uploading. Sometimes it requires…[Read more]

After struggling to get the “logging_to_EnviroDIY” sketch to upload consistently to EnviroDIY portal, I have found the ModularSensors library to run much better with less HTTP POST timeouts. Before I switched I ended up heavily modifying the older exa…[Read more]

I am using some code in the Mayfly to do a DNS lookup and set the IP address automatically using Command Mode on bootup in case the IP changes. I think it came from the original logging sketch you wrote up Anthony
