Sorry, I coded up the ThingSpeak publisher ages ago only to prove to myself that I could get an MQTT publisher working. I’ve never used it beyond that. I don’t have a paid account so after the trial period I was locked out and I’m not willing to do much testing on an account tied to my personal email.

Anyway, the code for ThingSpeak is in the…[Read more]

AltSoftSerial only works on pins 5 and 6. That’s why there’s no place in the code to declare the Tx and Rx pins. It’s strictly limited to those two.

<div dir=”auto”>Is there a reason you have the two sensors on separate RS485 adapters and power supplies? I’m fairly certain that the two sensors operate on the same supply…[Read more]

It’s been a while since I’ve used Atom.  Are you sure the program is compiling without errors and actually being uploaded?  If there are errors in the build, it won’t actually be uploaded.

Done.  Sorry for the delay.  Let me know if you have any issues adding a sensor.

The conductivity probe was already there.  I’m adding pH now.

I’m not sure if it’s possible – or if it is, it’s not going to be easy.  When you log in with your phone or your computer, you go through a series of browser pages where you submit form data with your credentials, etc.  I would guess that you’d have to manually figure out what the URL for each of those pages is and manually create each of the p…[Read more]

I haven’t looked into it much, but I would guess that module, and several other bee-shaped LoRaWAN modules would work just fine with the Mayfly.  There is *not* any direct support for any sort of radio communication right now in ModularSensors.  I would love to have support for it, but still a “someday” feature right now.  Right now most of our st…[Read more]

No, I don’t think I’ve seen that.

I’d put it in the power up, since it’s supposed to happen right away and setting the pin is nearly instant and won’t slow down other things powering up.

I added 10 extra ms of wake time in v2.1.3.  You can revert everything back to the original by adding a second argument of 0 to your send command functions.

Doh, yes, Shannon’s right!  I didn’t look closely enough before I deleted it, but there probably is a missing UUID!

Looking back, I replaced all the UUID’s with <<REMOVED>> for you so because you probably don’t want those to be public.  I can’t see or revert it to the original, but looking at it, your last measurement has just "":-9999} so it l…[Read more]

Hmm.  Does Hologram show any data being transferred?

Monitor My Watershed is known to sometimes drop or not respond for no apparent reason.  But usually if one station is working all the time and another isn’t it’s either the UUID and tokens or the internet connection.  When you’re looking at MonitorMW, are you seeing anything at all?  The num…[Read more]

I should add that we haven’t figured out why some connect right away and others don’t.  So even with an apparently identical batch of sims and modems, it wouldn’t surprise me if some connect immediately and others don’t.

I removed the UUID’s from your post.

Do you see any connections or activity from the SIM cards on Hologram?  Sometimes it takes a really long time to connect to the network with a new SIM card, a new modem, or at a new location.

Are you sure your tokens and UUIDs are all correct?

Woops.  The invalid version number was my fault; I screwed up the semantic versioning.  I released a new version yesterday which is identical except for the version number which is now a valid 0.28.3.

But  that isn’t actually your problem.  The invalid version number and the stuff about “requestFrom…” are just warnings.  It compiled anyw…[Read more]

Done

I would do as Neil suggested and make sure the trigger pin for the Turner is set low before sleep.

We’ve had the same problem with RS485 adapters that pull power through the Tx/Rx lines.  Because the stop bit is high those lines will stay high if you don’t force them low at the end.  It’s kind-of a PITA with the Tx/Rx bits; you have to actually w…[Read more]

I would say the sound of the disconnect/reconnect isn’t a good sign, but touching the black part of the antenna shouldn’t have caused anything.  If the board shifted onto something metal (aluminum phone or laptop case or such) that might have connected pins oddly on the back it might have caused a jolt in the power on the USB which can sometimes…[Read more]

For the code, it makes no difference if it’s a Hydros21 or a CTD-10.  The change between them is name-only.

Did you install all of the libraries from either the libraries repository or the ModularSensors release?  You need to unzip the libraries into your Arduino user folder.  The error you’re getting is saying that the compiler can’t find one of them.

I’m sorry, could you paste your whole code and a more detailed error message.
