Further to my last little input I have managed to get the code to compile and run on my MAYFLY with a MB7389 sonar by changing the #include <Sodaq_PcInt_Mod.h> to #include <Sodaq_PcInt_PCINT0.h> and
#include <SoftwareSerialMod.h> to #include <SoftwareSerial_PCINT12.h>
also a few lines down form there I changed

I tried to use this code but it wouldn’t compile due to the #include <Sodaq_PcInt_Mod.h>

#include <SoftwareSerialMod.h> libraries not being found. I looked and dowloaded the entire package of libraries from the GITHUB page but still couldn’t find it. any ideas??

I am trying to make the battery measurement code send the data via the GPRSbee.
I want to achieve something along the lines of this.
1. Take a measurement of the battery on A6 and convert it to…[Read more]

I have bought a Sodaq Gprsbee to add to my mayfly and I’m wondering how its best to use it.
I think Thingspeak is where I want to broadcast my data for now and wonder if you have any sketches for the mayfly that will help me get started.
Cheers
Rich

It’s been a little while since I have had a chance to spend any time on this project but over the last few days I made some time.
Thank you to Danny Waz for your suggestions as they confirmed my suspicions and I have removed the TTL-232 from the Circuit and I am just inverting in code.
I currently have just fudged together all the code that has…[Read more]

As usual Thanks for the support, I have added an RS232-to-TTL converter inline between the board and the mayfly and have had a go with the code you posted with only average success I seemed to be getting every second measurement as a 0 reading and some unreliable repeat-ability.
As I was dubious about the cheap converter I had added to the…[Read more]

After all the brilliant support I have received from you all regarding my attempts to build this water level monitor using a stalker V3 and finding the shortfalls that came along with it I have just had 2 Mayfly data loggers arrive here in New Zealand and I am looking forward to getting them into the wild.
From reading the other forums here I…[Read more]

The 10 11 pin issue is what seems to have made things screwy all along, Now to go find some free pins, using pin 8 seems to make it cycle through the sleep awake about 4 times before getting another sample. It may still be broken but at least it’s different broken 😉

I have just double checked the jumpers I soldered across P2 and P3 as you say to make sure it was not some sort of dry joint problem and all seems well.
The problem I am having it seems is that the software serial is not playing ball after the first sleep, wake up cycle. I have just tried the re allocating sonar onto pin 8 instead of pin 11 and…[Read more]

Ill attach the datalogger code and…[Read more]

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate the well commented code as I really have no idea whats going on without it.
I tried your code and perhaps I was having data issues because Of something I did or because of a different sensor but I was getting quite a few out of sync readings that would throw a spanner in the works for using the data…[Read more]

I was really impressed with your early Seeduino Stalker ultrasonic water level sensor and I have tried to build one of my own.
I was not fast enough to get hold of your Mayfly so have used a Seeduino Stalker V3 and I have been struggling to get my code to work.
I have used a maxbotix 7360 sensor and want to try to record the Serial output…[Read more]
