So I know this was a year ago and I haven't watched any of your more recent videos yet, but as the buttons aren't used much a way to remove them could be just to have a pad on the edge on either side that you can simply short across with a pair of tweezers?

That looks pretty neat. Two questions: 1 - do you need to pull the SD card to read what it has logged or is there a web interface via the ESP32 that lets you do that? 2 - RTC is nice, but can the ESP32 check/sync the time using NTP? Thinking about using this for testing out battery performance on a CR2032 in different situations. I suppose you could simply use the ADC and read the voltage at different intervals?
@paulprice21 күн бұрын
1. It is possible to have a web page to view the SD card data but you'd need to write that code yourself (tho I may look into making an example sketch for this on the Github repo). 2. Yes you can update the time via NTP and there is an example sketch for updating the RTC via NTP on the GitHub repo. The main reason for an onboard RTC is that a lot of data logging projects do not have access to WiFi and or also connecting to WiFi regularly will affect battery life if you're running on battery for long periods of time. Cheers Paul

While technically there is a pin on the chip itself which is for WiFi, it's not attenuated to be of any use. Essentially the signal it can produce is miniscule and practically of no use.

Do we need the buttons, what if there were just points we could jump our selves to act as buttons... - and once deployed, we wouldn't be using the buttons any more. What about ditching the buttons and USB port, but adding two solider points for a wire antenna to be added. And print on a flexible filament PCB (flex PCB) - if you do, this and sell these I would very much buy them.

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

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.

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 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.
