https://youtu.be/D_4kYoQq0gY Waka Waka is built on the idea to build a standalone device for messaging on long distances in hard to get areas like mountains, forests etcetera. TIt is not always possible or needed to establish voice communication so it is mainly text-only communication and has delivery acknowledgement functionality. We also aim to create…
Today we are going to make a project which can be connected to your smartphone or any computer and it makes that device LoRa-enabled messenger. Now when that will be done you would be able to message any other device using the same LoRa messenger. This all is done without presence of 4G/LTE/3G/GSM/WiFi/SMS. More…
Palmtop transmitter to couple with the LoRa Shield to execute longer-range radio commands. Among the longer distance radio transmission technologies with low energy consumption, there was one in particular on which we have focused our attention, it is the one LoRa (Long Range) produced by Semtech (www.semtech.com) with a product based on it, some…
The FlighWave Aerospace Systems last week revealed the Edge UAS. The startup company’s drone is intended to provide customers with a sustained aerial presence in high winds during maritime and terrestrial missions. FlightWave plans to work with partners and customers on customized payloads through its Payload Partners Program—an initiative to open-source an integration kit for…
This tutorial explains the steps to make an inexpensive LoRa gateway and how I managed to run it. Then I show a complete scenario with nodes, gateways and cloud all together. Finally I will explore the possibility to manufacture a cheaper one. With this tutorial anybody can make a complete LoRa gateway with about 200€…
Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) or Low-Power Network (LPN) is a type of wireless telecommunication network designed to allow long range communications at a low bit rate among things (connected objects), such as sensors operated on a battery. Being a communication technology born to satisfy the distributed sensors and IoT devices needs in terms of data…
In this last post of the LoRa series we will see how to use the board, so to create a network composed of addressable and safe nodes. Semtech’s SX1278 integrated circuit, on which this shield is based, allows for a sophisticated and efficient communication in the LoRa (Long Range transmission) technology. This communication is…
In a previous post, you had the opportunity to discover a new Shield for Arduino, based on Semtech’s SX1278 chip that, in view of a very limited price, allows the implementation of a radio communication for a wide range of applications: from the transmission of digital signals in OOK or FSK mode, to the…
