Modular Coding for Mayflies #5

Closed aufdenkampe closed 6 years ago

aufdenkampe commented 7 years ago

This is pasted from an email send by @fryarludwig to @SRGDamia1 about the SimpleLoggingExample and Modular-Code-Example feature branches in this repo:

I've revisited the modular code example, and my original plan for adding multiple values to single sensors would be the wrong approach. A better approach would be more time consuming and would change the current relationship between "sensors" and "dataValues" - I can see this being useful for long-term goals, but is not necessary for the workshop.

I imagine the SimpleLoggingExample would give you the best results for time committed, given your sensor requirements. This is a single-file example we put together to allow users more control while limiting inherent complexity at the same time.

To help get you started in the EnviroDIY_Mayfly_Logger.ino file: line 37: The config.h file was moved to here - change as needed line 74: We have a global sensor variable. Add the variables for the values you want to collect here, and feel free to get rid of the onboard_temperature value. line 238: This is the function you'll use to update the variables you created above. Feel free to add a sensor's wake/sleep functions inside this, or you can add those on line 280. line 252: Generate your JSON string here for the POST request. line 267: This is where we set the time. You mentioned you sync this with the computer, so remove or replace as needed.

Once the dust has settled on this sprint, if we start thinking about modularizing the code, we might wan to take a look at the Arduino code here https://github.com/NorthernWidget/Logger​. Shannon and I have know the lead developer of that repo, Andy Wickert, for years, and he reached out to us at AGU and in early January about collaborating on a single, modular codebase for Arduino-compatible environmental data loggers. Andy is that the University of Minnesota, so I'll probably meet with Andy sometime in the next few weeks.

@SRGDamia1 just started this effort: https://github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors

I think this can safely be closed.
