Hi,
We’ve recently integrated an EXO3 sonde with a Spotter buoy, and everything appears to be functioning as expected. Data from the EXO is visible when connected through both the development kit and the Spotter buoy. However, when the EXO data is transmitted to the Sofar Spotter dashboard, it appears under Historical Data as encoded binary hex (as shown in the attached image). While it’s great to see the data flowing, we’re hoping to translate it into a more interpretable format.
The support documentation includes a link to Python code (BM Sensor Integration - SDI-12 Multiparameter Sonde EXO3s - Community / Projects - Bristlemouth) for decoding, but we’re wondering whether there are any alternative methods or tools available to decode this data.
Please reach out if you have had any ideas or successes.
Cheers
Louis
