The EZO sensors have a serial output that I want to use to log data to a file.
Any code examples for powering the grove connectors and a serial interface would be helpful.

It shows you how to power the switchable Grove connectors, and you can just replace the DHT stuff with some SoftwareSerial code to use either the D6-7 or D10-11 pins for the serial comms.
Or you could use the D4-5 connector, the default jumper sets it to 3.3v constant. The D6-7 and D10-11 sockets are always switchable, either 3.3v or 5. Only experienced users should use the 5v option, since they will need to insure that the sensor or other peripheral device is either one-way or has level converters so that the higher voltage required by the remote device won’t get fed back to one of the Mayfly digital pins.

Thanks Steve.
That works but I noticed the 5V pins were at 3.27 Volts and the 3.3V pins were at 3.32 Volts. Is there another pin to turn on the 5V boost ckt?

Then choose 2 free digital pins for the comms, like 6 & 7 or 10 & 11, and edit the first few lines of the sample code to change from the pins 2 & 3 that’s shown in the demo.

2016-07-13 at 7:05 PM #1641Somewhere on the site, it recommended a Sodaq DS3231 library, which is similar to the Mayfly. Make sure the coin battery is in.

Then before powering down, I upload the code for data-logging. If you power down and then re-power without uploading new code, it will reset the time for what you had adjusted from the above example.
Attached is my data-logging/xbee transparent (AT) communication code. It writes a csv string with time stamps then sensor data- weather station in my case via composite SDI-12 command. The FormatTS function just adds leading zeroes when needed. Sorry it’s in text format, the forum didn’t let me attach a .ino file.
There might be other RTC libraries, but i went with the safe route. -h

yeah, the library is for sdi12 sensors.
