Yes I2C is too short range for the applications I have in mind, but I have some experience with RS485 so that sounds like a good option.

I’m not very familiar with your ecosystem, but would using ModularSensors require the Mayfly to be connected directly to the sensor? So if my sensors are natively I2C, I…[Read more]

These are self-contained with a custom datalogger so that you can seal them up in a 1″ PVC and deploy underwater without anything installed onshore. However, I’m curious about pairing the sensors we have developed…[Read more]
