Share & Learn – Programming Design Automation & Control
Group of devices and hardware platforms used in PDAControl.
We have resumed testing the applicability of the LoRaWan network, in this case we will review the Dragino LA66 module, specifically the Arduino Shield, although for our tests we will connect it to the PC via a TTL-USB converter and we will test it with the ESP32 module. As I mentioned in previous tests, I…
The WT32-ETH01 module is an Ethernet adapter that integrates the ESP32 microcontroller with an Ethernet interface, allowing for wired connectivity in projects that typically rely on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It’s popular for applications requiring reliable communication, low latency, and stable networking in local environments or embedded systems. WT32-ETH01 Functionalities WT32-ETH01 Specifications Components and Integrated Parts…
As a programmer focused on IoT solutions that require low power consumption and long-range communication, the Dragino LHT65N stands out as an ideal choice. This device is specifically designed for temperature and humidity monitoring using LoRaWAN networks, making it a versatile tool for automation projects in industrial, agricultural, or even urban settings. With robust features,…
One of the technologies that have gained great strength in recent years such as LoRaWAN, on this occasion we will review the LDS02 Sensor. The LDS02 is a door sensor that uses LoRaWAN technology for long-range, low-power communication. Designed by Dragino, the LDS02 is ideal for monitoring doors and windows, making it a perfect choice…
I have found this module with interesting features, which I am going to test and has as its core the already known ESP32 from Espressif, since we are resuming activities we present the ES32A08 module. The ES32A08 is a versatile and powerful expansion board designed to extend the functionality of the 38-pin ESP32 microcontroller, enabling…
From the beginning of PDAControl we have carried out tests with the Emoncms platform, the Openenergymonitor project, initial tests with the esp8266-01 in 2014 have brought us to 2021 and the ESP32 module. Using the Peacefair PZEM-016 meter add an ESP32 module and an RS485 converter module. In this case, we will carry out…
This time I will share an application with great utility in our IoT projects. Dataplicity Dataplicity allows you to monitor, manage and repair your devices even when they move between cellular, satellite and fixed networks outside of your control. How does it work Dataplicity uses a secure HTTPS connection initiated by the client and opportunistically…
Virtualization is one of the most used methods to facilitate the compatibility of Software or simply the test of other Operating Systems, technically it is an operating system within another. I have tried for a long time Oracle VirtualBox is one of the most used virtualization software for x86 / amd64 architectures allowing virtualization. FreeBSD…
For some time we have carried out a lot of tests with the Node-RED platform. This time we will try a method for installation established on the official website, which I consider the easiest way to install this platform in Linux operating systems (Ubuntu), emphasizing in this case Raspbian OS for Raspberry Pi. Recommended Tutorials…
In this tutorial we will install OpenWrt a Linux based firmware / operating system, specifically created for personal routers. We will install OpenWrt on a Raspberry Pi 3 B + and turn it into a Wifi Ethernet bridge router. Mount OpenWrt on microSD card Win32 Disk Imager in case of being a Windows user….
