  • BeeWatch: LoRaWAN Environmental Monitoring – Blog 9: Nicla Vision IR ToF & Audio Sensing, Data Dump

    After the last post went up, a comment from BigG let me know that I had indeed got something wrong, seemingly due to a bug in the new Arduino IDE. There actually are “bare-metal” examples in Arduino for the Nicla Vision board, so let’s take a look at…
  • BeeWatch: LoRaWAN Environmental Monitoring – Blog 8: Getting Started with Nicla Vision

    In the last posting, I managed to put my assembled breadboards each containing an MKR WAN 1310 outside to collect environmental data in-situ. While the boards sit outside inside a plastic box “hive”, experiencing the harsh environment of the outside,…
  • BeeWatch: LoRaWAN Environmental Monitoring – Blog 4: LoRaWAN Gateway Set-Up & MKR WAN 1310 Quirks

    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 spending…
  • Bee Guard Blog#01: Introduction

    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…
  • Save the Bees - IoT Bee Hive Monitor - blog 2

    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. Using the Arduino…
  • BeeWatch: LoRaWAN Environmental Monitoring – Blog 3: LoRa vs. LoRaWAN & Getting Started with MKR WAN 1310

    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! Table of Contents Long Range, or LoRa for Short! Putting…
  • BeeWatch: LoRaWAN Environmental Monitoring – Blog 2: Unboxing the Kit

    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 may be useful or…
