RE: DAB Backyard Challeng Blog #2

Hi Don,

I am looking forward to following your project.

Years ago, one of the first test instruments that I made was a lightening intensity meter. I took an old AM radio tuned off station and rectified the audio output that would normally go to the speaker. I then integrated the output with a small electrolytic cap and used the output to drive an mA meter. Every time there was a lightening discharge in the area the needle of the meter would jump. As the storm intensified or got closer the needle would rise higher and higher. As the storm diminished or moved away the needle would settle back to the zero point.

Thanks

John

Hey Don,

I came across this lightning detector. It looks like it might be useful - it claims a 40 km range:

RE: CC3200-LAUNCHXL program uploading data to IoT and hibernating

i am facing a similar issue with watchdog . my code hangs . where do i add the hibernate code. in the api source code? or in the watchdog acknowledgement code?

I have already added the hibernate code to implement this "detect a recovery from the WDOG trigger and force the device into complete hibernation "

Could you guide me on this

thanks

I would like to get 4 adc from a cc3200 controller Using energia. But i am able to get from 3 channels only. Pin 0 does not work at all. Are there any recommendation get 4 adc using energia?

Hi!

I want to use your design (with modifications) for my microcontroller IDE, http://cuwire.io. Can you allow me to do this?

Thank you!

Glad to hear you're on the mend, that's the important thing, and hey, you can always make stuff with your kit [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-f78a27ae-0336-43a7-96f3-7d346d89811e/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

From January in polish newspaper "Elektronika Praktyczna" ep.com.pl

is published course "Internet of Thinks in Examples" ( I am a author )

Course based on CC3200 LaunchPad. In course I used TI software

Code Compser Studio v6, CC3200 SDK, CCS UniFlash, PinMux Tool.

During course I will be demonstrate practical and useful IoT projects.

Excellent project Lucas.

Thanks but It, doesn't matter.

May I ask, where did you find that Quectel L80 eagle schematic? I searched everywhere and I couldn't find it. Is it possible if you can share it? Thank you

I made it alone. I have only schematic, without package. If you want I can share it for you.

thank for response,

Why you ( TI and element14 ) didn't inform people that idea from application doesn't matter ?

Show me where in rules is described that competitors can change project ? I asking where ?

Where are official rules of competiotion I am still waiting.

I lost my free time for this "not clear" competition

Here is the official response from Texas Instruments and element14 -

In July, 10 participants were selected to receive the SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3200 LaunchPad based on the quality of their submitted Internet of the backyard ideas. The finalists were tasked to bring their ideas to life while regularly blogging about their progress. Finalists were judged on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, incorporation of the LaunchPad(s), blogging consistency and totality of design experimentations and success documented throughout blog submissions.

The judges from element14 and TI felt that the winner, Janis Alnis, did an exemplary job incorporating the SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3200 LaunchPad into the tomato plant monitoring system. He demonstrated that the design process is often an evolutionary one that may expand to meet multiple needs. Alnis designed a connected solar-powered water pump, a greenhouse monitor measuring soil humidity, temperature and light, and an automated watering system – all of which contributed to the success of his tomato greenhouse. We thank all of the finalists for participating and look forward to seeing additional design ideas in the future as the IoT continues to grow.

Finally, I would like to add that projects evolve over time. We have seen design challenges previously where a challenger started with one idea and ended up with another; in 2013, in a challenge related to energy harvesting, an initial project idea for an energy harvesting powered bike light, turned into an energy harvesting powered egg timer. This was an even more dramatic transformation of the project: it was also one of the winners.

Thank you.

Hello -

As the decision was made by Texas Instruments' panel of engineers, I am going to ask them to put together a blog post detailing their reasons for this decision.

I hope that this resolves the matter to everyone's satisfaction. Thanks.

Best Regards, Christian
