        Are you using the Mayfly in any remote locations where cellular telemetry is necessary? Do you know of any products (e.g. 3G modem, cellular bee module?) whereby one might establish wireless IP conne

          Way late response. Was checking the forum about any issues from batch v3.0.

          From pricier logger/DAQ setups, i’ve seen Raven cell modems from Sierra Wireless (with NexSens data loggers and NI c

              Thanks for the links. Of these, the NimbeLink Skywire looks most like what I was imagining. The FONA boards have some promise, but the Adafruit library does not support data yet for the linked 3G ver

              We have had very good results with the GPRSbee module from SODAQ. It’s a 2G board and SODAQ also has a new 3G board with the same Bee footprint so it could also work with the Mayfly. We have d

                    @shicks I assume you have been busy and this hasn’t happened yet… I’d like to start playing around with the GPRSbee on my own. Any recommendation on which Rev to buy and where to b

                        I would highly recommend the GPRSbee Rev 6. It has a much easier (and more reliable!) method for waking and sleeping the GPRSbee than the Rev 4 board. Plus the Rev 6 has a u.fl antenna connector ins

                      Wow – congratulations on deploying. Always a watershed moment to get it in to the real outdoors.
                      When its easy, it would be fascinating to see the basic parts list, outdoor configuration, po
