ModularSensors - v0.35.1

v0.35.1 2024-08-26

This is a hot-fix type release, pushing out fixes for sleeping for the SAMD21. It is not fully tested. If you are not using a SAMD21, please stick to version 0.35.0 until 0.36 is released.

Changed

  • BREAKING Switched default clock for SAMD21 from the built-in 32bit RTC to the DS3231.
    This is not be a permanent change.
  • Switched to reusable workflows for CI

Fixed

Fixed clock configuration for SAMD21

ModularSensors - v0.35.0

Changed

  • BREAKING Refactored how the publisher transmit buffer works. This will require adjustment to custom data publishers.
  • Update GitHub actions
  • Remove date from copyright for easier tracking
  • Turn modem off at end of setup, regardless of time
  • Clean function to set file timestamp on SD card
  • Use equation rather than table for CSQ
  • Only polling modem for enabled parameters
  • INCREASED THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF VARIABLES FROM A SINGLE SENSOR and implemented an option to set this by build flag.
    • This will increase memory use for the entire library.
      If you are not using the GroPoint sensors which require many variables, I recommend you change this value via the build flag -D MAX_NUMBER_VARS=8
  • Allow all WiFi modems to first attempt to connect using existing on-modem saved credentials rather than immediately sending new credentials.
  • Add further debug printouts to the processor stats

Added

Removed

  • Removed the (unused) sendOffset parameter from dataPublisherBase.

Fixed

  • Minor bug fixes for XBee Wifi
  • Handle no SIM card response from SIM7080G (EnviroDIY LTE Bee)
  • Fixed Keller debugging output.
  • Fixed file reference for SDFat 2.2.3

Known Issues

  • The modem hardware, firmware, and serial number is only implemented for the Digi XBee WiFi.

ModularSensors - v0.34.0

Changed

  • BREAKING - Removed support for light sleep on Espressif modules.
    This changes the order of the constructor for the ESP32 and ESP8266!
    • The light sleep mode is non-functional anyway, and confusion over the sleep request pin was putting the board in a position not to sleep at all.
  • Minor tweek to clang-format
  • Moved all variable initialization to default header values and initializer lists
  • Converted all "c-style" casts to static casts
  • Switched cases of strcat and strcpy to snprintf
  • Specify python version 3.x for actions (used by PlatformIO)

Added

  • Support Campbell RainVUE10 SDI-12 Precipitation Sensor #416
  • Support YosemiTech Y700 Pressor Sensor (#421)

Removed

Fixed

  • Fixed bug in YosemiTech Y4000 Sonde (#420)
  • Fixed non-concurrent data fetch for SDI-12 when NOT using debugging.

ModularSensors - v0.33.0

Changed

  • Breaking: Renamed the static markedEpochTime variable to markedLocalEpochTime.
    • This was sometimes used in "complex" loops. Code utilizing it will have to be changed.
    • This is part of the effort to clarify where localized and UTC time are being used.
      We recommend a logger's real time clock always be set in UTC and then localized for printing and storing data.
  • Breaking: Renamed the function setNowEpoch(uint32_t) to setNowUTCEpoch(uint32_t).
    • Although public, this was never intended to be used externally.
  • Breaking: Renamed the YosemiTech Y550 COD sensor as Y551. See below.
  • Potentially Breaking: Changed the default "button" interrupt pin mode from INPUT_PULLUP to INPUT and created optional arguments to the setTestingModePin and setLoggerPins functions to specify the pin mode and pull-up resistor state.
    • INPUT is the proper mode for the Mayfly.
      The Mayfly has an external pull down on the button pin with the button being active high.
      This means having the pull-up resistors on negates the button signal.
      The pin mode had been set as INPUT_PULLUP for the button, backwards for the Mayfly, since July of 2017.
      By some electrical luck, with the 0.x versions of the Mayfly, the external pull-down on the button pin was strong enough to out-weigh the incorretly activated pull-up resistors and an interrupt was still registered when the button was pressed.
      With a different pull-down resistor on the Mayfly 1.x, the button no longer registers with the pull-up resistors active.
      So, for most of our users with Mayflies, this will be a fix.
      But for anyone using a different board/processor/button configuration that depended on the processor pull-up resistors, this will be a breaking change and they will need to specify the button mode in the setTestingModePin or setLoggerPins function to return to the previous behavior.
  • Added a longer warm up time and removed some of the modem set-up to work with the ESP-IDF AT firmware versions >2.0
  • Made sure that all example clock synchronization happens at noon instead of midnight.
  • Renamed Classes: Renamed several classes for internal consistency.
    These are not breaking changes at this time; the old class names are still usable.
    • Rename class MPL115A2 to FreescaleMPL115A2
    • Rename class MPL115A2_Pressure to FreescaleMPL115A2_Pressure
    • Rename class MPL115A2_Temp to FreescaleMPL115A2_Temp
    • Rename class TIINA219_Volt to TIINA219_Voltage
    • Rename class PaleoTerraRedox_Volt to PaleoTerraRedox_Voltage
    • Rename class ExternalVoltage to TIADS1x15
    • Rename class ExternalVoltage_Volt to TIADS1x15_Voltage
  • Documentation: Migrated to latest version of Doxygen (1.9.3).

Added

  • Sensor Added support for the YosemiTech Y551 COD Sensor, which makes a UV254 light absorption and translates it to estimates of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) (or Total Organic Carbon (TOC)) and Turbidity.
    • NOTE that this upgrade removes the earlier Y550 from the library, as it was never tested and is no longer available form YosemiTech. If anyone has a Y550 sensor, the Y551 commands should work. Let us know if they don't.
  • Sensor Added support for the YosemiTech Y560 Ammonium Probe, which is a mini sonde for three Ion Selective Electrode (ISE) sensors (pH, NH4+, K+) that together are used to provide a corrected estimate of total ammonium nitrogen (NH4_N) in mg/L.
    • NOTE that this release only includes outputs for NH4_N, pH, and temperature. A future release will also include estimates of potassium (K) and raw potential values from each of the electrodes.
  • Sensor Added support for the SDI-12 In-Situ Level TROLL 400, 500 & 700 Data Loggers
  • Sensor Added support for the Sensirion SHT40 relative humidity and temperature sensor
  • Sensor Added support for the Everlight ALS-PT19 ambient light sensor
  • Sensor Added support for the Bosch SensorTec BMP388 and BMP390 pressure sensors

Removed

Fixed

  • Fixed memory leak for AOSong AM2315 thanks to @neilh10

ModularSensors - v0.32.2

Changed

  • Restructured SDI-12 slightly to break out the start measurement functionality into a new function.
  • Modified Decagon 5-TM and Meter Teros 11 to use the SDI-12 get results function rather than addSingleMeasurmentResult.
    This will allow both sensors to honor the 'non-concurrent' flag, if that is set.
    Previously, they would not have.
  • Documentation: Migrated to latest version of Doxygen (1.9.2).
    This required some changes with m.css to properly ignore the doxyfile.xml the current version generates.

Added

  • Board: Adds 1.0 and 1.1 as valid version numbers for the Mayfly. Does not yet support any new features of those boards.
  • Add a new parameter (internal variable) to the sensor base class for the number of internally calculated variables.
    These are used for values that we would always calculate for a sensor and depend only on the raw results of that single sensor.
    This is separate from any calculated variables that are created on-the-fly and depend on multiple other sensors.
    In many cases, this is 0 and in most of the other cases the value is informational only.
    For the SDI-12 sensors, I'm actually using this to make sure I'm getting the number of values expected.
  • Sensor: Added support for v0.2.0 of the EnviroDIY/TippingBucketRainCounter device firmware, which added capability to count rotations on a reed-switch anemometer and fixed a critical bug that failed to count high rainfall rates.

ModularSensors - v0.30.0

DOI

New Features

  • Added support for Campbell ClariVUE10 turbidity sensor
  • REMOVED support for SoftwareWire for Atlas sensors.
    • The only supported version of a bit-banged (software) version of I2C removed inheritance from the core Wire library.
      Without inheritance, the parseFloat functions used by the Atlas sensors will not work.
      As I think this feature was completely unused for the Atlas sensors and I see no reason to use it with sensors that have completely flexible addressing, I removed it.

Improvements

  • Changed build flags and created a pre-commit hook for myself to update the menu build matrix

  • contains this version of ModularSensors and the proper versions of all of its dependencies.

New Features

  • Created a new module for the Meter Hydros 21. This is exactly identical to the Decagon CTD in everything but the name. The Decagon CTD module still exists and can be used. No old code needs to be adjusted for this change. Moving forward, the two can be used interchangeably. The addition was only made to stop complaints about typing in an older name.

ModularSensors_Dependencies_v0.28.4.zip

  • contains this version of ModularSensors and the proper versions of all of its dependencies.

Improvements

  • Allow each SDI-12 sensor to set the necessary command delay for that sensor.
    • Per protocol, sensors are allowed to take up to 100ms after receiving a break before being ready to receive a command.
      This allows each sensor to specify what delay it needs.
      This was added to support conflicting delay needs; the RDO needed a short delay, the newest Meter sensors do not respond properly if the delay is added.
  • For SDI-12 sensors, add repeated attempts to start a measurement if the first attempt unexpectedly fails.

Installing for PlatformIO:

Extract the contents of library zip to your project's 'lib' folder.

Change Log

New Features:

Improvements:

  • Improved C++ code styling elements in every file in the library, to:
  • Encapsulated modem wake check logic into a function and checking for status using a quick AT ping if no other option is available.
    • This will only affect modems/breakouts that depend on a pulse on their wake pin to turn on or off but for whatever reason don't have a separate status pin connected to the mcu. I do not recommend this configuration.
  • Always re-set the pin mode of a sensor power pin before attempting to turn it on.
    • This could come into play when first attempting to power on a sensor before the initial setup if the pin mode on the sensor power pin was set to input by whatever program the mcu had run prior to running ModularSensors code.

Change Log

Improvements

Restructured modem so that it no longer operates as a sensor. Variables tied to the modem are now effectively calculated variables and all values from the modem will be offset by 1 sending cycle (ie, the signal strength posted will always be the strength from the prior send, not the current one).

Installing for PlatformIO:

Extract the contents of library zip to your project's 'lib' folder.

Change Log

Improvements:

  • Much more aggressive attempts to set the clock if the time is not reasonable - before 01Sep2019 or after 01Jan2025.
    • The LED will flicker and warnings will be sent over the serial port for invalid times at every check.
    • The logDataAndPublish function will attempt to synchronize the clock at every measurement until a valid time is received.
    • The NIST sync will attempt to open the socket to the daytime server up to 12 times trying to get a valid response.
  • Using automatic network technology and carrier profile for Digi LTE-M XBee3's - with the current firmware there is not a significant time savings in manually selecting the carrier and manually selecting the carrier gives no options when the relative signal strength of the carriers changes.

In your the Arduino Software (IDE), import the libraries.zip file following the instructions for "Manual Installation" from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries#toc5. You cannot directly import the zip using the Arduino Library Manager because it contains multiple libraries.

Installing for PlatformIO:

Extract the contents of libraries.zip to your project's 'lib' folder.

Change Log

New Features:

  • A watch-dog timer has been implemented for both the AVR and SAMD21 (and 51) boards to restart the boards in case of failure during logging
    • The watch-dog is turned off during sleep to save power, so recovery is only possible if the failure is while the processor is awake.
  • Added support for Meter Terros 11 soil moisture and temperature sensor
  • Implemented a function to verify that UUID's are at least correctly formed and unique - though it does not verify that they are valid.
  • Pushing to the master branch of this repo will now also cause a re-run of the travis script that updates the EnviroDIY "Libraries" repository.
  • Added debugging variables to modems to track how long they are powered/active.

Improvements:

  • Added extra compile tests in the menu a la carte example.
  • Improvements made to nearly all modem modules
  • Restore XBee access to resets by TinyGSM

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed all compiler warnings seen with the -Wextra flag (mostly by adding technically-unnecessary-but-visually-helpful braces)
  • Fixed issue with creating a calculated variable without a UUID

Known Issues

  • polling the AM2315 more frequently than every 2 seconds will now return a bad value (-9999) rather than returning the same value multiple times. This is a reflection of a change in the Adafruit library. The measurement time set for the sensor has always been this long so this issue should never be seen unless you attempt to call get measurement results from the AM2315 without first waiting for the measurement completion. The update function and all variable array functions should behave properly.

Change Log

New Features:

  • LoggerModem has become a parent class. All modems now exist as separate subclass objects.
    • This should greatly simplify creating a modem object in code.
    • Currently supported modems:
      • Digi XBee and XBee3 cellular modems of all types running in transparent mode
      • Digi XBee3 cellular LTE-M modems in bypass mode (this is in addition to transparent mode)
      • Digi XBee cellular 3G global modems in bypass mode (this is in addition to transparent mode)
      • Digi XBee Wifi S6B modules
      • Sodaq UBee LTE-M (SARA R410M)
      • Sodaq UBee 3G (SARA U201)
      • Sodaq 2GBee R6/R7
      • Sodaq 2GBee R4, Adafruit Fona, and other SIMComm SIM800 modules
      • Botletics and other SIMCom SIM7000 modules
      • Dragino, Nimbelink, and other Quectel BG96 modules
      • Nimbelink LTE-M Verizon
      • Espressif ESP8266 based modules
    • The older way of creating a modem object and feeding it wake/sleep functions is no longer supported.
  • The real time clock's timezone can now be explicit set (as opposed to setting the logger timezone and the offset between the RTC and the logger)
    • The function to set the logger timezone has been renamed from setTimeZone to setLoggerTimeZone.

Improvements:

  • Daily clock synchronization has been moved from midnight to noon. For loggers with solar charging, this should place the extra draw of the modem to do the synchronization to a time of peak charging.
  • All "send" data functions have been renamed to "publish" to line up with module names.
  • Updated AM2315 to use most current Adafruit library (2.0.0)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed #259 where time zones offset by more than 9 hours from UTC would not work correctly.
  • Fixed #183 where enabling debugging would cause non AVR boards to crash.
  • Adjusted some timing parameters for the SIM800 based on testing.

Known Issues

  • polling the AM2315 more frequently than every 2 seconds will now return a bad value (-9999) rather than returning the same value multiple times.

ModularSensors - v0.21.0: Support for all Atlas Scientific I2C sensors, compiler-safe begin functions

DOI

New Features:

  • Added full support for all Atlas Scientific EZO curcuits and sensors that support I2C
    • CO2
    • DO (dissolved oxygen)
    • EC (conductivity)
    • ORP (oxidation/reduction potential)
    • pH
    • RTD (temperature
  • Created empty constructors for the logger, publisher, variable array, and variable classes and all of their subclasses. For all classes created a corresponding "begin" function to set internal class object values.
    • See note for more details: https://github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors/commit/b1a619ed74bc790743bce35b3a4e78a2d2237b22
    • The order of input arguments for all variable objects has changed. For variable subclasses (ie, variables from sensors), there is no change to the user. For calculated variable objects, all code must be updated! Please check the structure in the examples! Older code will compile without error but the variable metadata fields will be incorrectly populated.
  • Very preliminary support for SD cards with switchable power

Improvements:

  • Eliminated any time-out waits on libraries using the Wire class
  • Simplified the logger begin function - the removed functionality should be called in individual program setup functions
    • Removed clock sync
    • Removed logger file creation
    • Removed sensor setup
  • Moved the check for setup from the wake function to the startSingleMeasurement function for all sensors
    • Previously, the first time the wake was called for a function, the status bit for setup was checked and if the sensor had not been setup, the setup function was called. This will no longer happen the first time the wake function is called, but instead the first time the startSingleMeasurement function is called. The main motivator for the change was the modem which could end up behaving strangely because the setup function actually called the wake function internally.
  • Improved example coding for SARA R410 cellular modules

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed call to a null pointer causing the array's completeUpdate to crash with calculated variables
  • Fixed source of ADS1x15 dependency
  • Removed "default" wake/sleep functions from modem. These were non-working skeleton functions.

Known Issues

  • Running some I2C sensors on switched power will cause unrecoverable hangs at the first call to any other I2C peripheral (ie, the DS3231 RTC) after sensor power is turned off. This is a hardware problem and is un-fixable within this library.
  • The sensor class and all of its subclasses still require input arguments in the constructor.

ModularSensors - v0.19.2: Decreased Data Consumption

New Features:

  • Added ThingSpeak support via MQTT (PubSubClient is now a required dependency)
  • Added support for TI INA219 thanks to @neilh21 (Adafruit INA219 library is now a required dependency)

Improvements:

  • Reduced telemetry data consumption (by half in one test) and therefore overall power use, by creating an outgoing text buffer.
    • Note : the default buffer size is quite large, decrease it to decrease program memory size.
  • Refactored data publishers as a new class rather than subclasses of loggers

ModularSensors - Added sensors and fixed timing bugs

New sensors:

  • Added support for Freescale MPL115A2 pressure sensor
  • Added support for Keller Acculevel
  • Added support for Yosemitech Y4000 multi-parameter sonde
  • Added support for a generic "voltage" measurement on an ADS1115 with and without a voltage divider
  • Added support for an external rain tipping bucket counter deployed using the EnviroDIY TippingBucketRainGauge library and communicating with the main logger via I2C

New examples and documentation:

  • Added some helpful details on the default I2C addresses of several sensors
  • Expanded explanations of sensor and variable terminology in ReadMe
  • Added 2 new examples of creating a calculated variable from those variables directly measured by multiple sensors
  • Minor corrections to Yosemitech sensor resolution and accuracy.

Bug Fixes and other Tweeks:

  • Fixed major bug causing sensors with long stabilization times to not be updated
  • Tweeked code generating csv's and json outputs to allow a modified csv or json to be written to the SD card or posted to data.EnviroDIY.org
  • Removed the "checkForUpdate()" function. When asking for a value from a variable, you now must explicitly state whether you want the variable to ask its parent sensor for an updated value or not. By default, it will not ask the parent sensor to update, but only return the last value received or -9999 if a value has never been received.
