Hi Raymond,
Here are a few sections that I wasn't sure about:
1. "Scans for solar beacons (sensor 1 and sensor 2, as per the Major field) and, when found, displays the respective temperature and humidity values to the serial monitor." The structure of this sentence makes it susceptible to miscues. What do you think about this revision:
"Scans for solar beacons (sensor 1 and sensor 2, as per the Major field); if a beacon is found, this program displays the received temperature and humidity values via the serial monitor."
2. "Ideally, you always want to be scanning and the price you pay for this scheme is the possibility that you can miss a beacon advertisement." I'm not clear on why there is a risk of missing an advertisement if you are always scanning.
3. "Using a counter value equivalent to about 16 minutes as a default (i.e., missing three consecutive advertisements at the long interval rate), I would, on very rare occasions, see this occurring." I think it would help if we could clarify 1) how exactly 16 minutes is related to the long interval rate and 2) what "this" refers to.
@Kate Smith Once Part 1 (i.e., the companion technical article) is published, we should add a link to it at the top of this article, and also here: "(see Part 1 for making the sensor a hybrid)."
