Hi! I’m working with @Taylor.gill on BM DevKit integration with a Sunburst Sensors pH sensor. I’ve made my way through the DevKit User Guides , #1 through #5, and the RS232 Serial Sensor example. One thing that leapt out at me in the latter webpage was this comment: “In the Bristlemouth Dev Kit ap…

Hi Chris, Much of this is in progress / on-roadmap, and will see a lot of forward progress throughout the year! I’ll start with the easy ones: Have a cellular only mode for large data uploads. The Spotter firmware already has the scaffolding in place for a ‘cellular only’ flag, but the backen…

[image] evan: But, the “invalid param” issue doesn’t ring a bell. If you come across a particular image that reliable results in this error, could you send it our way? My current theory is this may have had something to do with testing the bmdk’s creation of files on the buoy’s SD card. For s…

Speaking of the Spotter duty cycle configuration - How does one turn that on? Can’t seem to find it in the docs.

@chris There’s a few ways to do that. One easy way could be to configure your mote firmware to contain a dwell period in the main loop either before or after your data parsing code. I am stronger in C so I’ve made ample use of delay() but I bet you C++ has something like a sleep() or something. The …

@chris I’m also going to make this a new topic because I think this will generally be interesting outside the original post question.

Hi @evan and @zachary ! I am trying to add a SST probe to the surface node of our buoy while still using the bottom node with the devkit and SAMI pH logger. I am stuck on one section of this process. I went through: Notion – The all-in-one workspace for your notes, tasks, wikis, and databases. and…

Hi @Taylor.gill - can you clarify your overall system architecture a bit more? Do you have a Dev Kit with SAMI that will be sub-surface on the mooring, and also a custom SST probe that you are integrating into the Spotter buoy directly?

We have a subsurface SAMI connected to the dev kit on the bottom node and just received a sofar temp probe to put in the middle node without the dev kit.

Got it - • The Sofar Bristlemouth Temperature Sensor will already be on Bristlemouth version 0.11, so you won’t need to update that. • You’ll need to update your custom Dev Kit firmware to v0.11 by merging that tag into your working branch, then re-compiling your application and flashing the resul…
