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…
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.
Testing Module ASC201-V1.0 Gosling Converter 0-10V to 4-20mA from ICStation
10 Professional PCBs for $ 2 with JLCPCB – Ard-LoRa Prototypes
In my last tests I have used platforms like ESP8266 implementing LoRa modulation and in some applications with LoRaWAN, in this opportunity I will use the Arduino platform and I will manufacture a prototype I have contacted again to JLCPCB that they offer a PCB manufacturing service at a very reasonable price. In this opportunity I will use…
Gateway LoRaWan ESP8266 & RFM95 (ESP-LoRa) 915mHz single channel with The Things Network
For a few weeks I have tested with LoRa technology, we have also heard about LoRaWAN, some time later we created an account on the TTN Platform or “The Things Network”, applied especially to these LP-WAN networks, for this new tutorial we will create a gateway LoRaWAN using an ESP8266 module and a Radio Modem RFM95/95W at…
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…
Meter PZEM-004 + ESP8266 & Platform IoT Ubidots
In this opportunity we will integrate our active power meter or power consumption, Peacefair Pzem-004 with the IoT Ubidots platform using an ESP8266 module, later we will create a dashboard to visualize the 4 available variables such as active power, accumulated electrical consumption, voltage and current . Update Ubidots Libraries V3.0.0 for ESP8266 modules I…
Comparison Measurements Peacefair Power PZEM 004 VS Chint DDS666 & ESP8266
We have previously performed tests with 2 active power meters. In this case we will visualize the difference of both measures of instantaneous active power. I notice that I do not have a standard meter to take as a reference, I simply want to corroborate that if the calculation made in Arduino IDE with the…
10 PCB’s Professionals with Seeed Studio Fusion – ESP-LoRa Prototypes
A few days ago I finished tests on my breadboard, being positive I decided to migrate my project to a pcb not only for functionality and practicality, but also for aesthetics, I have chosen the PCB manufacturer company Seeedstudio.com, we all know it as a manufacturer of hardware and IoT solutions , but they also have…
Introduction and Create account in Platform The Things Network IoT LoRaWAN
In this opportunity we will create an account in the platform The Things Network and we will make a brief introduction, TTN a good initiative to build a network for the internet of things or “IoT”. The Things Network has implemented the LoRaWAN technology, which has 3 important characteristics LoRaWAN is technically a standard protocol…
Meter PZEM-004 + ESP8266 & Platform IoT Node-RED & Modbus TCP/IP
In this opportunity we will integrate our active power meter or electric consumption,Pzem-004 – Peacefair with the IoT Node-RED integration platform used in previous tutorials, we will use an ESP8266 module configured as Modbus TCP / IP slave, later we will visualize the measurements in Node- RED Dashboard to visualize the 4 available variables such as…
