In the last blog, I was able to stabilise the LoRaWAN connectivity, so now it’s time to explore the issue of MKR WAN 1310 power consumption, improving the sleep power consumption, how modem state saves could be implemented, integrating some env...
Today was the second day of sunny weather with temperatures getting into the mid 60s (F) in my area south of Portland. This is about 10 degrees above normal for March.
My wife and I were out walking our younger granddog when we encountered a su...
We were not able to achieve a connection in my last blog and the reason seemed very likely due to the fact that there are no gateways nearby that can hear the signal and establish a two-way communication with my MKR WAN 1310. To remedy this, some spe...
Introduction
The is my very first blog for "Save The Bees Design Challenge". Thanks to Element14 for choosing me one of the challengers for the contest. For the last two months I read several research paper about bees. From my study I realized that o...
After my failed attempts at trying to make a LoraWan connection to The Things Network, I thought I'd trying failing at something new next
So I pulled out the Nicla Vision board and decided to give it a try!
The Nicla Vision board is made by Ar...
Thank you to everyone for your helpful advice on my previous blog post!
I've come to the conclusion that The Things Network is still relatively new and not quite widespread enough to just connect to it from anywhere. So, as is often the case in the w...
It is time to be back on ZinnBee path at Element14 community after a while. I am new for LoRa WAN technology, so I planned to finish the LoRa WAN framework before I jump into ML for Nicla Vision subsystem. Elment14 Community did great jobs on L...
Before starting with my actual Project, I will tell you about my previous ones.
But Why?
As a warning to not put unprotected electronics in beehives, because if you do, whey will not live log.
This project has only been in a hive for 3 mo...
Welcome to the #blog2 of IoT Bee Hive monitor. We will be using the Arduino Pro Nicla Vision board to capture images and video of the bees inside the hive, and the MKR WAN 1310 board to transmit this data to the Arduino IoT cloud.

After getting all of the initial bits set up while at my desk, I was unfortunately unable to reach any LoraWan gateway on The Things Network.
Given that I was testing it at my desk indoors, I knew that this wasn’t the optimal situation. So I de...
Now that I have the items unboxed, let’s first go through some LoRa and LoRaWAN basics and then try to get the MKR WAN 1310 onto the air. Fingers crossed, we can make a connection somehow!

Intro
The kit arrived, so I can start to learn what Nicla Vision is, but this blog will focus on integrating a couple of subsystems to work out how they interface to each other.I want the HuskyLens to put the correct name to classified objects. This ...
As the bee detector is intended for use in the field, it will be best if we can use some sort of wireless connectivity to pass the information along to a central server, ideally allowing us to view results from anywhere using a browser.
The MKR WAN 1...
While the challenge started a while back and some competitors have been able to race forward, I’ve been patiently awaiting the arrival of the kit before pressing much further. In the meantime, I’ve also been obtaining other parts which ma...
Hello!
I am happy to be part of this challenge, and also very happy that my wife will be adding her artistic inputs to make this an even more fun project
The project kit we were sent for this challenge includes an Arduino MKR WAN 1310 and a Ni...
I received my hardware 4 days ago, but haven't had the time or opportunity to use it. The MKR WAN 1310 box was crushed, but it seems the board was not damaged.

Hello, Element14 community! As a beekeeper, I am thrilled to have received the Arduino MKR WAN 1310 and Arduino Pro Nicla Vision boards. These hardware components are essential tools for creating an Internet of Things (IoT) bee hive monitoring system...

Blog 2: Nest building
Hi all, welcome to our second blog for the Save the Bees Challenge.
Today we will describe how to build the wild bee research nests that we will be using for the challenge. For this bee nest de...
As I mentioned in my first blog post, my research object will be soil-nesting bees such as Cellophane bees. Bumble Bees are soil-nesting bees too. In fact, Rusty-Patched Bumble Bee is Minnesota State Bee. Basing on University of California Agricultur...
IntroThe project kit has not arrived yet, but I want to keep the project moving with another interesting post. This blog covers recognition of various bugs by a computer vision system that uses machine learning to identify the various bugs. It also i...
Hardware Concept
My plan is to develop two hardware modules, the first LoRa module would contain the MKR WAN 1310 with the Nicla Vision and the second module would contain the Nicla Sense. The second module would connect to the first via a 6 co...
