Re: Salinity Probe not recognized

the probe is a k=.99 which is the same. The higher the number the less accurate. K=.1 is good down to .5 uS, 1 down to 5uS and 10 is good for 10uS

Re: Salinity Probe not recognized

Is the expansion hard coded to not return below 6ppt? The probe is a K=1 rated and goes down to 5uS. (7 ppm). That is the middle ranges probe.

Re: Salinity Probe not recognized

Can you tell me what JP1 and JP2 are for? Right now they are both completely open. 6ppt is not low enough for anything in freshwater. The readings that are important are around 5-200 ppm (~0-400 uS)

Thanks for being patient with me as I muddle through this!

Re: Salinity Probe not recognized

The minimum value of the salinity module can measure is 6ppt. That's why you get 6 showing up. Anything lower than that will require a different probe, but we are really not interested in less than 6 ppt anyway. Not sure what was going on, but this will let the pump go on when it finds 6ppt: if (Re...

IO Expansion methods

Like
X = analogRead( i2cio-pin1)

Also didn't find newer Eagle files

And how do you send data to pin 1 vs pin3? I get the example above except for this.

Re: ORP on Dashboard and no names for Water level on app

Thanks Curt! I am using the wormy apple app :-P Do you know if the portal, badges, etc can have the unused expansions turned off? Makes the screen look like lots is broke. (Freshwater and unlikely to use ORP)

Re: IO Expansion methods

I read about the PCF8574 chip on TI's site. Seems straight forward - less complex than using the 328P. But the question remains. How do I get more than just an on/off value from it?

BTW - I cannot seem to locate the 2.2 eagle files for IO on the download page. :-(

Re: ORP on Dashboard and no names for Water level on app

I figured out that i needed to download the Labels from the server and then nulls were replaced by 5 waterlevel tags. Is there anything i need to do for IO Expansion values? I havent seen anything of them popup.

ORP on Dashboard and no names for Water level on app

Is there a way to turn off the modules on my banner, portal and app that i dont use - like ORP? Also on the app it looks like the Water Level is listed as null along with 4 additional values. They do not have values but the 1st one I can see is the water level. Can I set the label somewhere for the ...

I just got my Water Level and IO Expansion and Expansion hub yesterday. Got the WL all calibrated and it is working GREAT! Should have done this long ago.
