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…
Category: Projects
We will collect ideas and small tests that are evolving to projects such as:
Electronic design
The Art of designing, modifying, requesting a problem related to Electronics, we will mix everything a bit but we will focus on the design, development and revision.
we will collect the 3 branches:
Hardware: Schematic diagrams, PCB’S and Welding.
Firmware: Oriented to microcontrolled systems.
Software: Software Oriented and / or Programming Languages.
LoRa & LoRaWAN
In this space we will perform some tests to get started in LPWAN networks (Low-Power Wide-Area Network) using the LoRa Modulation and later we will implement LoRaWAN.
Measurements DC Voltage, Batteries and Solar Panels.
We will collect, tests with circuits, integrated, sources, batteries, capacitors, solar panels and everything related to DC voltage measurement methods.
We will also integrate some measurements to platforms to visualize data locally or from the Internet.
Measurement of Electric Consumption
We will collect tests, assemblies, circuits, integrated, transformers, inverter phase controls and meters for single and three phase electric consumption.
We will also integrate some measurements to platforms to visualize data locally or from the Internet.
IRC Control
Implement IRC Chat to create interactivity and communication “Send data bidirectionally” over the Internet, without so many complications using platforms such as ESP8266 or ESP32.
Emoncms platform
We will present tests and Dashboard with data in real time with this platform 100% Opensource.
Integrations & Gateway
We will perform simple tests and integrations of protocols, platforms and technologies.
Review LHT65N LoraWAN Temperature and Relative Humidity Sensor (Dragino)
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,…
Review LDS02 – LoRaWAN Door Sensor (Dragino)
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…
Review PLC Simatic S7-1200 CPU 1212C Siemens
Download Lubuntu Virtual Machine (PDAControlMV) IoT in VirtualBox # 1
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…
Basic Modbus RTU Master RS485 Test with ESP32 + XY-K485 + PZEM-016 (without libraries)
In this opportunity we will carry out tests and explanation of the Modbus RTU protocol implemented in ESP32 requesting data from the Single-phase consumption meter PZEM-016. The intent of this tutorial is: 1. Explain in a simple way the creation and operation of an industrial protocol, in this case the Modbus RTU protocol used and…
Review Dragino LoRaWAN RS485 to LoRaWAN RS485-LN Converter #8
I present the Dragino RS485-LN is an RS485 to LoRaWAN converter, a few months ago I ordered a couple of modules for testing. This converter would allow monitoring and controlling devices over long distances, adding the versatility of the RS485. Characteristics LoRaWAN Class A and Class C protocol (default Class C) Frequency bands: CN470 /…
Integration http JSON Node-RED (Raspberry Pi) with PowerPDU 4C from Netio # 002
Review Gateway RAK2245 Pi HAT Ver. B (Multichannel) LoRAWAN # 6
Continuing our LoRaWAN tests, a few months ago the materials arrived to assemble my new gateway using the RAK2245 Pi HAT Module for Raspberry Pi. In previous tutorials we used the RAK833 USB / SPI. This time we will review our new RAK2245 Pi HAT module. Features Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B +…
