Review HELTEC Module (WIFI LoRa 32) 915-868Mhz for LoRaWAN #4

I have been collecting information about functional nodes for basic LoRaWAN tests for a while. This time I present the HELTEC LoRa 32 v1 Wifi module, it collects several interesting functions in IoT applications. This node is the integration of an ESP32 and a LoRa Chip SX1276 (868-915Mhz) 0.96 inch Oled screen, usb-serial converter CP2102….

Introduction to mDash platform for administration of IoT Devices

On this occasion I present the platform or an administration service for IoT devices called mDash, belonging to Cesanta, the creators of the IoT Mongoose Os development firmware. mDash allows firmware updates OTA (over-the-air) and remote administration, alerts and notifications, remote device control, file management with devices, all these features are for Espressif’s modules ESP32…

MQTT in ESP32 with ESP-IDF – ESP-MQTT & Node-RED

Normally if we look for tests with the ESP32 module and the MQTT protocol, they mainly use Arduino IDE for ESP32, there is no problem, but this time we will use espressif development environment “ESP-IDF” or “Espressif IoT Development Framework” for the ESP32 which has more advantages and features for more robust applications. ESP32 Module…

Review Module Wemos TTGO ESP32 + OLED V2.0 + DHT11

I present a TTGO ESP32 module, this device has caught my attention since it is very complete, I ordered one to the Banggood.com online store for testing, the interesting thing is the union of the well known ESP32 module, DHT11 Sensor (Temperature / Relative Humidity ), 0.96 inch white OLED display, charging circuit for Lithium…

Measurement Electrical consumption with Ubidots Industrial & ESP32 + PZEM-004T

On this occasion I have proposed to measure the electricity consumption of my entire house to make comparative estimates with the collection of my energy bill and analyze. On this occasion I will use the IoT platform Ubidots in its Industrial version, previously we had done tests with the educational version, but this industrial version has special…

Meter PZEM-004T with Arduino ESP32 ESP8266 Python & Raspberry Pi

In this opportunity we will collect tests with my new electric consumption meter PZEM-004T, making integrations with some of the most known hardware platforms ESP8266, Arduino Nano, ESP32, Arduino UNO + Shield Ethernet W5100 and Python in Raspberry Pi. For a long time I wanted to try the PZEM-004T of Peacefair, I bought my meter…

Alexa Amazon Echo Dot First Steps and Settings

For a long time I wanted to try one of these Amazon Echo and a few weeks ago mine arrived, but what is it and what can be done with them? let’s configure and test a little. Amazon Echo is a smart speaker with additional functions such as the ability to send voice commands, ask…

How to find IP addresses of Ethernet devices?

In this opportunity we will address a problem that has happened to us when we need to obtain the IP address of an Ethernet device, it can be a PC, Smartphone, PLC in our case it can be an Arduino with shield ethernet, ESP8266 or ESP32. If we do not have the possibility to see or know…

Arduino IDE for ESP32 modules

Given the great popularity of the ESP8266 programmed from Arduino IDE in great contribution by Ivan Grokhotkov thanks, Currently for ESP32 modules has been allowed to program them from Arduino IDE in collaboration with espressif, Although it is a project under construction so far the control of certain hardware is in the process of migration. Currently…

Introduction Platform Mongoose OS

For a long time I wanted to test Mongoose OS, this time we will make a brief introduction and installation in a Linux operating system “lubuntu” Ubuntu/Debian. Mongoose OS is an open source operating system for Internet of Things (IoT) and low power microcontrollers such as ESP32 , ESP8266 , TI CC3200, STM32  license Available under dual GPLv2 / business…
