    A very good morning to you Paul, l require your expertise & guidance with this project as I feel well out of my depth on the logger. I've been trying to build a humidity/ temperature logger with your little Bee and am struggling to make any headway with my very limited coding knowledge. The system uses TMP117 temperature sensor and a Adafruit SHT45 humidity/temperature with I2C. I did manage to load an example onto the logger however it didn't show any of the sensors and it ran way to fast for my needs, but it did write date, time, day, onboard temp and battery to the SD card, l couldn't get back in to correct my faults as PORT, "NO PORTS DISCOVERED " or "Could not open COM3, the port doesn't exist", I had purchased a couple of those bad boys so l decided to try another one, this one on upload, "Unknown COM3"; Output, "A fatal error occurred: "Could not open COM3, the port doesn't exist" and Autoplay CIRCUITPY(D:) down in the bottom righthand corner of the laptop screen, I do get the lights on the board and the sensors. I have run a program with the two sensors, I2C, Aduino Uno and CSV file, your logger is a little smaller than the laptop, less obtrusive and somewhat much leaner on power. The sketch I'm trying for has date, time, day, humidity/temperature (SHT45), temperature (TMP117), battery and a sample rate of one hour & 40 minutes, that battery should sample into the next millennium. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Kind regards Tony h

    With the c3, gpio 8 must be pulled high to program it. A 10k resistor to your 3v should do the trick.

    Great concept. I look forward to your v3 with the suggestions implemented. Of interest to me are having an onboard antenna and more GPIO pins available. It would be handy if the parts were all on one side and pins exposed via catellations so it could be installed flush on another board. I like the suggestions of ditching the USBC and switches to make more room, as those can be connected via castellations. A companion dev board can be made to hold the castellations (with friction, like FlexyPins that I saw on hackaday) and breakout the USB, buttons and GPIO for prototyping & programming. For even more GPIO, could have SMD pads on the bottom side. I found your video while I was researching tiny ESP32 options I might use for a Bluetooth to PS/2 keyboard adapter. I don't think I can use an S3 in this case because I need classic Bluetooth for compatibility with most keyboards, so ultimately I need a classic ESP32 in tiny form. For this particular scenario it just needs to handle 5V power, GND and two GPIO from the PS/2 connector and I would only need temporary USB for serial monitoring and programming. I enjoyed your video on what's possible. :)

    Why has no one mentioned anything about PCB origins? Why does no one mention anything about the 8mm that they don't work in PICK TEST mode if your size is 8mm or above? Why I cant see any videos about setting the positions of the components? especially the fiducials that they will never work.

    Good morning Paul, an excellent package on your datalogger and well done.Can you tell me; does your logger "automatically scans, detects, configers and log various Qwiic sensors" such as TMP117 temperature sensor and the Adafruit SHT45 humidity/temperature sensor, Sparkfun DEV-16832 OpenLog Artemis is OK with the TMP117 but is not happy with the Adafruit SHT45. Kind regards Tony H.

  • @paulprice
    @paulpriceАй бұрын

    Hi, it does not automatically setup senors like the sparkfun data logger does. This data logger needs to be programmed for whatever sensors you wish to use in either circuit python or Arduino both of which are supported programming languages for the bee data logger.

    I think you can do better by integrating a chip antenna! I am currently designing an nRF52-based 10x14mm PCB, and it looks doable. I hope to get it soldered for me, though it should be solderable by hand as well.

    Thanks for your info, it is really valuable. I'm looking for a machine which can change nozzles automatically or it has four heads. This one seems to be built good, I like how the reels hide under it, but it seems really slow so I don't know. Also editing stuff on that screen seems hard. Lacking end switches I can hardly believe. I would buy SMT330-LX but it's out of stock (it has nozzle changer). Currently I have a machine from Qi-He, TVM802B. This had uses some old MS webcams for vision and it hardly finds fiducials and doesn't align the components very well, so I'm looking for an upgrade. Any suggestions are welcome.

    What is the actual optical zoom? From talking to the vendor the numbers given are solely digital magnification, which is most of the times useless? Also what is the FOV, did you buy extra lens? I want to replace a keyboard connector on an older MAC probook..Please elaborate. Thanks!

  • @paulprice
    @paulprice2 ай бұрын

    Optical zoom is 300x, I'm not sure on the FOV. The lens is fixed and not swappable. For working on a laptop it would probably work well for that purpose, especially with the large build plate.
