  This is the thread to ask non-technical questions related to the production status and availability of EnviroDIY products like the Mayfly Data Logger or its accessories. If you’re wondering when something will be back in stock or where to order it, this is the place to ask. Be sure to check the table on the Hardware Status and Availability page for the latest news before asking your question.
  
  If you have technical questions about a product or need help using it, search the forum to see if your question has already been asked, or start a new forum topic if it’s a unique or complex question. General technical questions that might be of interest to everyone about the v1.1 board can be asked on the Mayfly v1.1 technical questions forum thread.

  Hi Shannon,
  
  Do you have any idea when the RS-485 half shields are likely to be in stock?

    No estimate yet, I’m still working on the redesign and will then have to get them manufactured once we’ve fully tested them.

      Thanks Shannon. Please let me know as I will likely order a few of these and some mayfly 1.1’s.
      
      Appreciate the hard work.

      @James_NZ – I’m curious, just wondering how many RS485’s stations are you looking at and your planning project timeline.
      
      What sort of instruments/powering are you looking to connect to.
      
      There is a forward looking discussion on issues here, though the timeline for anything being built, I’m guessing is really dependent on specific project drivers. https://github.com/EnviroDIY/Mayfly-Modbus-Wing/issues/3

      Hi Neil,
      
      I would only need 5 at this stage. I would connect it to my Yosemitech turbidity sensors and potentially Yosemitech pH sensors as well.

      Is there any updated timeline on the RS-485 half shield production? The last update was about 6 months ago.
      
      Thanks!

      I’m also still very interested in these wings. The Pololu 12v Step-up voltage regulator has been discontinued and I’m struggling to build new wings.

      James,
      
      Could you solder the jumper on the old version wing board that would otherwise be under the step up board? And get 12 volt from the new Mayfly? I am not qualified to make any recommendations, but since 12 volt is on the new Mayfly, you should be able to power the Y511 that way.

      The Y511-A has a wiper motor that draws a little too much power on initial startup, so unfortunately even the newest Mayfly 1.1RevB still can’t power it directly. Our early 1.0 prototypes handled all the various 12v sensors just fine, but the voltage regulators on that prototype have been out of stock for the past 18 months, and we’ve been unable to find similar components that are suitable for all the various 12v sensors people typically operate from a Mayfly board. I’m still testing parts and designs so once we’ve found one that works and is readily available from the manufacturer and have fully tested it to guarantee that it works with all of our typical sensors, then we’ll be able to produce the RS-485 modbus adapter board. I don’t have any definite dates of when that might happen, but I’ll certainly let everyone know once we’ve got a estimated availability date.
