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 Tactigon is a board for wearable applications prototyping, able to recognize gestures and different kind of movements, thanks to the firmware availability and simple programming which are typical of the Arduino environment. You knew about it In the introductory post published issue and in the first proposed application; now you can see it in…
Tactigon is born for the prototyping and developing of interfaces for gesture recognition and capture both integrated with environmental parameters; this board connects via Bluetooth and can be programmed through Arduino IDE. [newsletter_lock] We are witnessing the continuous penetration of technology into everyday objects and equipment, and many Companies work to produce components and…
A startup company MatchX has released its new LoRa gateway, based on SX1301 chip, with Listen Before Talk, Spectral Scan, GPS, WiFi. It is using OpenWRT operating system, so it is hackable to anyone with Linux experience. The company also offers free access to its LPWAN server. MatchX is also about to release…
Lime Microsystems has unveiled a size- and cost-reduced variant of the LimeSDR board that it launched last year. The LimeSDR Mini is a free and open source project that supports the company’s entirely open-source LimeSuite host-side software that supports a range of SDRs. At 69 x 31.4mm, the LimeSDR Mini is about one-third the size of the original model,…
The Tactigon is the perfect link between humans or objects and the digital world, with its IMU 3D features, environmental sensors and Bluetooth 4.0 technology. It is a unique platform, programmable with Arduino IDE and expandable with GPS, LoRa or SIGFOX communication add on; it’s made for unlimited applications both in the industrial and in the consumer IoT worlds. Action, gesture, motion,…
The Arduino-compatible prototyping board is back with four new versions (and another one on the way) to meet all application needs for the Internet of Things. SmartEverything, the development platform for IoT applications is back, guided by the motto “Let’s make everything smart and connected”: the platform is back and equipped with side…
Zerynth is the first vertical set of tools for designing embedded applications and IoT connected devices using any 32-bit microcontroller and cloud architecture. All in Python (or C/Python) language! Zerynth provides the middleware for smart devices and solutions for the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0. In other words, the “Android for the embedded world”…
Nordic Automation Systems released Badgerboard, an Arduino compatible LoRaWAN™ development kit, that can be easily extended to a prototype or even a small batch product. With a battery charger and an antenna connector on board. Building prototypes on Badgerboard – that is exactly what we have been doing for the last 6 months. Is it…
SigFox and LoRa will split the IoT World, when we come to distributed low bitrate internet connection. We don’t know if only one will prevail or which one, in the meantime we’d better stay updated on both networks. SigFox is starting a World tour to increase the knowledge about it: first appointment is this…
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…
