SEN0604 EC Value Is Always 0
Mitsu.Yama 2026-08-03 14:50:39 9 Views0 Replies I have a question.
I purchased the sensor introduced at:
https://wiki.dfrobot.com/sen0604/
and connected it to an Arduino UNO R3 via the RS485 Shield introduced at:
https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1024.html
I then ran the following sketch, which is provided here:
https://wiki.dfrobot.com/sen0604/docs/20298
uint8_t Com[8] = { 0x01, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x04, 0x44, 0x09 };
float tem, hum, ph;
int ec;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
readHumitureECPH();
Serial.print("TEM = ");
Serial.print(tem, 1);
Serial.print(" °C ");
Serial.print("HUM = ");
Serial.print(hum, 1);
Serial.print(" %RH ");
Serial.print("EC = ");
Serial.print(ec, 1);
Serial.print(" us/cm ");
Serial.print("PH = ");
Serial.println(ph, 1);
delay(1000);
}
void readHumitureECPH(void) {
uint8_t Data[13] = { 0 };
uint8_t ch = 0;
bool flag = 1;
while (flag) {
delay(100);
Serial.write(Com, 8);
delay(10);
if (readN(&ch, 1) == 1) {
if (ch == 0x01) {
Data[0] = ch;
if (readN(&ch, 1) == 1) {
if (ch == 0x03) {
Data[1] = ch;
if (readN(&ch, 1) == 1) {
if (ch == 0x08) {
Data[2] = ch;
if (readN(&Data[3], 10) == 10) {
if (CRC16_2(Data, 11) == (Data[11] * 256 + Data[12])) {
hum = (Data[3] * 256 + Data[4]) / 10.00;
tem = (Data[5] * 256 + Data[6]) / 10.00;
ec = Data[7] * 256 + Data[8];
ph = (Data[9] * 256 + Data[10]) /10.00;
flag = 0;
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Serial.flush();
}
}
uint8_t readN(uint8_t *buf, size_t len) {
size_t offset = 0, left = len;
int16_t Tineout = 500;
uint8_t *buffer = buf;
long curr = millis();
while (left) {
if (Serial.available()) {
buffer[offset] = Serial.read();
offset++;
left--;
}
if (millis() - curr > Tineout) {
break;
}
}
return offset;
}
unsigned int CRC16_2(unsigned char *buf, int len) {
unsigned int crc = 0xFFFF;
for (int pos = 0; pos < len; pos++) {
crc ^= (unsigned int)buf[pos];
for (int i = 8; i != 0; i--) {
if ((crc & 0x0001) != 0) {
crc >>= 1;
crc ^= 0xA001;
} else {
crc >>= 1;
}
}
}
crc = ((crc & 0x00ff) << 8) | ((crc & 0xff00) >> 8);
return crc;
}
When I inserted the sensor into the soil and ran this sketch, the values for TEM, HUM, and PH were displayed correctly, but the EC value was always 0.
I tested two different sensors, but the EC value was still always 0 with both of them.
Could you please let me know what might be causing this issue and how I can get the sensor to output the correct EC value?
