Scott Murrison replied to the topic Mayfly and Maxbotix MB7386 Range Issue in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 6 years, 5 months ago
I thought about that too. I’m not sure if there is a way to check. The model number says it is supposed to be a 10 meter sensor. And the reading shows 9999 when the object is out of range. This is typical of the 10 meter models. I believe the 5 meter models show 4999 when out of range. Maxbotix isn’t sure what the problem is. They sent me…[Read more]

Hello all,
I am still trying to get a water level sensor together. I got the code, radios, and Ethernet connection all working. I am able to get the data posted to a MySQL database. Now I am having range issues. The MB7386 should detect objects about 30 feet away. The most I am able to get is 15 feet to a cinder block wall. I am using the…[Read more]

FYI, the link to the data portal is not working. Or at least it isn’t working for me.

Thanks for the information on the data portal. I would like to use it for the simplicity, but I’m sure my clients would not like to have their data publicly available.
I have the database set up and the php script working to add the data to the database. Now I just need to get the sensor data sent to the database. I was confused on how…[Read more]

I’m 99% sure most if not all of this code is yours or someone associated with Envirodiy. If you can’t tell, I know very very very little about arduinos. I have a friend that put this together for me and I pointed him to this website for guidance. I’m sure he used the copy and paste method for coding. He didn’t have time to work with the xbee…[Read more]

Ok, so it is the code on my sensor/logger that needs to be changed. Do you by chance have any example code that I can look at to try and figure out where I need to go? The sensor is an ultrasonic sensor. I have attached the code I am using for the sensor. This code will change as I only want to send data one time per day.

Ok, I can post data to the database via the URL, so the problem is somewhere in the Arduino code. I’m using your code above at my base. I changed all the required parameters to my network settings. It appears the Arduino Ethernet is communicating with the website as the php script is inserting the id and timestamp in the database table. I’m a…[Read more]

I got your code to communicate with MySQL database. I have a table set up for ID(auto-increment, primary key) TimeStamp, and thisData. The auto increment ID and TimeStamp work, but the data is not populating the table, column is there, it is just blank. I do get data on the serial monitor. I’m guessing the problem is in the php file…[Read more]

Can you tell me where you source your cellular modules?

I received the Arduino Ethernet board and xbee shield. Now, I am looking for example code to receive the data via xbee from the remote unit and port it to a URL. Is there any example code you would be willing to share.
Thanks

Thanks for the guidance. I have a friend to do the SQL Database for me, so that shouldn’t be a problem.
These units will go in runoff retention ponds at cattle feed yards to monitor water levels. Most of the facilities don’t have wifi access, so the WIFI Xbee radio isn’t really an option. The GPRSBee is a good option, but I am looking…[Read more]

Ok, I was able to get data from a mayfly with ultrasonic sensor to a mayfly connect to a computer via xbee radios. Everything is being read on a serial monitor. Now I want to connect the second mayfly to the internet so I can forward the data to a sql database. What hardware is needed to connect the mayfly to the internet? I know there is an…[Read more]

Hello
I am trying to use two mayfly dataloggers to collect data and port it to a sql database. I am an infant when it comes to anything related to electronics and programming. I have managed to get my remote unit programmed and talking with an xbee radio with a xbee explorer. It even shows the data on a serial monitor. Now I am trying to…[Read more]

Scott Murrison replied to the topic XBEE Communication Issue in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 6 years, 8 months ago
The problem was the XBEE radios. The models I was trying to use are programmable. I purchased two that are not programmable. These two communicate fine.
Thanks for the help.

I posted this in the datalogger forum, but thought it would be best here since it deals with the Mayfly directly. Sorry for the double post.

I am interested in constructing several of these depth sensors and deploying them in runoff detention ponds at cattle feeding facilities. I was wondering if you had a recommendation for a different board that has the same capabilities as the Seeeduino Stalker v2.3?
Thanks is advance,
