NRA allows us, in case of bike accident, to locate the injured person through the Sigfox network. It also improves visibility on the road. For this build, I am using an Arduino MKR1200, a Neo 6-m GPS, a button, 2 leds, one 1k Ohm resistor, a buzzer, a vibration sensor and a 3.7v 150mah battery….
By supporting concurrent communication over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Sub-1GHz wireless, the STMicroelectronics STEVAL-FKI001V1 dual-radio development kit gives unrivaled flexibility to envision, build and connect IoT devices like smart sensors, finders and trackers which can be configured, updated, remotely monitored and tracked using various network topologies, protocols and services. The Kit integrates two radios,…
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…
Creating a new IoT device from idea to prototype to final product is not as easy as it can be made out to be. Scott Tattersall has created the Siguino to make it easier for anyone else to get started. He hopes by having the main components they had to breadboard together (Arduino, SigFox chip,…
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…
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…
This project recently won the Hackster community design contest based on the SIMATIC IOT2020 industrial IoT gateway. The contest was aimed at engineers, makers and students and challenged them to come up with innovative applications and solutions based on the open and highly flexible IoT gateway, which is manufactured by Siemens. This monitoring system can sit…
This new IoT development board, which measures just 67 x 25mm in size, provides Makers with a low-cost solution for adding Sigfox connectivity to their DIY projects. The MKRFOX1200 takes the functionality of the Zero, throws in Sigfox’s global LPWA network, and shrinks it down into a smaller form factor. Sharing a similar footprint as its fellow…
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…
The Internet of Things is slowly becoming real: let’s discover a long-range wireless technology that is particularly suitable to create simple and cheap wireless networks, that are able to connect billions of intelligent items among them. Depending on the estimates, by 2020 the number of Internet-connected devices will be between 20 and…
Arrow Electronics has announced the introduction of an IoT (Internet of Things) development board, named SmartEverything, that will offer a wide range of sensors and communication interfaces, in order to enable a simple low cost and low consumption connection with the Cloud. The board allows to reduce the design cycles and the development times, by…
