I figured out how to get terminal which is the sketch output window.  Took a while to realize that the .ini file overides the terminal settings and was at the wrong baud rate to test output from my set RTC sketch.

I copied a SODAQ…h file to “lib” when the compiler was looking for that.

Next step is pio lib uninstall xxx  but not sure what xxx is.  Is it the “lib” folder in my current project?

If so, should I just delete it and rerun pio lib update ?

Thanks

I have platformIO working with atom and get a compile error with the blink example.  I checked https://github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors/issues/247 opened a terminal but get a bash script error with “pio lib update”

How to I get to the terminal in atom?

Hi Beth-

I downloaded your tutorial that you started a 1 1/2 years ago.  Is there any chance you finished it?  It looks like just what I need as and Arduino IDE user trying to transition to PlatformIO.  I have gotten a lot of information from Sara’s threads on this forum but looks like your tutorial would be very helpful for me.

Thanks

Hi Shannon-

I think I will go with the 2G network for my project.  I am not having much luck finding a source for the SIM800H.  Adafruit has them but on a different board. I ran all the numbers on the attached photo thru Dr Google without much luck.

Can you provide me with appropriate links to purchase this and the other bits and pieces I would need to get my EC stations on the air.  Also looking for the weather proof box with the clear lid for another project.

Thanks

Hi Evan-

I can’t provide any info on ThingSpeak and only have a limited knowledge based on some Dr Google research last night.  I currently have six of my Low cost EC stations deployed in Great Marsh (N. Chester County) plus two of the Mayfly decagon stations (BCMC3S and..4S).  The six EC stations are currently logging data to the µSD cards and have to be manually uploaded to MonMW which is rapidly losing its appeal!  I have been thinking of using the LoRa 900 MHz radios.  Without reinventing the wheel the LoRaWAN may be the way to go but that is currently above my pay grade!

My other option is to simply fit my 6 sensor stations with 4G radios. I am hoping Sara and Shannon can help me with that.  I checked the Hologram pricing structure and its not at all clear what the base cost is.  GMI is supporting the two Decagon stations and the cost is $8/month plus $.60 per month for the second device so I am assuming that my additional cost would only be $3.60 per month.  Can someone confirm that?

I have attached a GE image of the GMI array of sensors on most of the UNTs to the Great Marsh wetland.

Apparently TSA does not fill in for data gaps and only displays the most recent data.  I have had this problem when trying to fill in data gaps for SL150 when it was not communicating with the mother ship (MonMW).  These issues has been posted on github.  See issue 430 and 443

[Jim Moore]

A bigger issues is MonMW was off the air when I checked last night. There were no Sparkline plots and TSA was dead.

Does anybody know whats going on?

For what its worth I uploaded data to GMI_EC#6 last night and no missing data. However I had uploaded data earlier but had the wrong sensor order. I deleted these sesnors add re added them in the correct order. The sampling feature UUID did not change but the Result UUIDs did.
Here is what I uploaded:

Hi
I have built a low cost EC sensor using the Atlas Scientific probe. The EZO board for the pH sensor has the same interface so if you look on my recent blog I give all the details you should need. I assume you want to deploy this with battery power and solar recharge so the Mayfly will sleep most of the time. Setup code is included in my blog and you will want this initially to set up the Atlas EZO interface board which provides serial comm to the Mayfly.

Hope this helps

[Jim Moore]

Drew-
I can’t offer any specific suggestions for your problems but I recognize some of the code that I used for a similar project to gather Electrical Conductivity (EC) data. I have attached my writeup on this project which includes my code. I have several of these stations deployed and some for almost a year and have not experienced any of the problems that you have had. The only issues I had is with J1:
