How many times have we not looked for a simple way to communicate with our devices through the Internet without complications and / or complex intermediary applications, DNS, IP addresses or VPN’s. Many times I have been asked how to turn on a led, relay or view a temperature from the Internet in an easy…
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.
Meter PZEM-004 + ESP8266 & Platform IoT Blynk App
In this opportunity we will integrate our active power meter or electric consumption, Peacefair Pzem-004 with the IoT Blynk app platform available in Android & iOS apps stores using an ESP8266 module, later we will create a dashboard to visualize the 4 available variables as active power, accumulated electrical consumption, voltage and current. …
Introduction LoRa & Module RFM95 Hoperf
In this opportunity we will make a brief characterization about LoRa ™ and specifically Radio RFM95/96 manufactured by Hoperf Electronics. Since a couple of months ago, 2 modules arrived, initially I want to make an introduction on the subject that had been pending for a long time. Website: Hoperf Electronics Personally for a long time I…
Installation KiCad in Ubuntu and Windows
In certain projects we need to go from a schematic diagram to the manufacture of a PCB, there are a variety of platforms and Software for this task, for some time I have decided to adopt free software, in this opportunity I present KiCad. Oficial Website: KiCad Downloads: KiCad I have found this comparative table to…
Meter PZEM-004 + ESP8266 & Platform IoT Cayenne Mydevices
In this opportunity we will integrate our electric consumption or active power meter , Pzem-004 of Peacefair with the IoT Cayenne mydevices platform using an ESP8266 module, later we will create a dashboard to visualize the 4 available variables such as active power, accumulated electric consumption, voltage and current. Previous Tutorials Recommended Introduction IoT Platform Cayenne mydevices…
Electricity consumption meter Peacefair PZEM 004 + ESP8266 & Arduino Nano
For some time I wanted to buy a single-phase electricity consumption meter, a few months ago I got Peacefair Reference PZEM-004 meter, its price seemed affordable, it has the advantages of being a non-invasive meter in the electrical circuit and has a communication protocol to request data such as Active Instantaneous Power “kW”, Voltage “V”,…
Electric Consumption with Meter CHINT (pulses) + ESP8266 & Matrix led MAX7912
This time we will return to an interesting project, the measurement of electrical consumption in an invasive way with a CHINT DDS666 Meter Mono phase, technically it is a residential or residential meter that we have already presented in previous tutorials, finally I will finish what I started more than a year: Warning: Caution is…
Review Solar Panel 10W with Arduino and Node-RED
For a long time I had planned to make some application with photovoltaic panel or common solar panel, in this opportunity I have acquired a monocrystalline solar panel of 10w perfect to power the devices we use in our tutorials. Although this is in design, we will perform a meterological station – Gateway later, and…
Measuring DC Voltage with Arduino and Node-RED
There are a lot of tutorials DC voltage measurement with Arduino, in this case I found a tutorial that I consider the best functional method to measure DC without requiring input values of resistance, only requires some resistance and a multimeter, In next tutorials we will start with solar panels and we need to measure…
