Reply To: Newbie Mayfly Setup for RS485 sensor to internet

Hi @srgdamiano, Thanks for the headsup on new enviroDIY/TinyGSM release. I can see init changes on https://github.com/EnviroDIY/TinyGSM/branches

I did start with Mayfly setup:
const char *wifiId = “MyGuest”; // The WiFi access point, unnecessary for gprs
const char *wifiPwd = “”; // The password for connecting to WiFi, unnecessary for gprs
const long ModemBaud = 9600; // Default for XBee is 9600, I’ve sped mine up to 57600
const int8_t modemSleepRqPin = 23;//23; // Modem SleepRq Pin (for sleep requests) (-1 if unconnected)
const int8_t modemStatusPin = 19;//BEECTS;//19; // Modem Status Pin (indicates power status) (-1 if unconnected)
const int8_t modemVCCPin = -1; // Modem power pin, if it can be turned on or off (-1 if unconnected)
ModemSleepType ModemSleepMode = modem_sleep_reverse; // How the modem is put to sleep

and thats when it initialized and then hung. XCTU showed MyGuest, Encryption Enable, PK Passphrase empty (which it always shows as empty, it seems its a write only field for pwds!).
So connecting a logic analyzer on XbeeWifi pins the modemSleepRqPin wasn’t requesting wake state and sending data to a sleeping Xbee – so after about 3hrs of tracing input to the XbeeWifi module I figured I was getting it wrong.

So checking the updates pending on EnviroDIY/TinyGSM I figure I should use your new release (thanks for all the updates to vshymanskyy/TinyGSM) and then try again.
So to try again with the Mayfly, I think should
1) Reset the XBEE WiFi module to defaults via XCTU
2) Set “logging_to_EnviroDIY.ino” to sleep mode as above and then Monitor the modemSleepRqPin and modemStatusPin and Tx & Rx
and see if it works.

I can go onto a different project until the new EnviroDIY/TinyGSM lib is released.
Alternatively, if it would be useful to you, I could attempt a pre – release build of enviroDIY/TinyGSM (master or original?).
