As we count down the days to the end of the Save the Bees Design Challenge, a regret I carry from my last post is that I didn’t attempt any AI-based inferencing now that I have a Nicla Vision board in my hand. In this post, we’ll try to change this while…

In my previous post Bee Bealthy - Blog 10: I2C Communication between Nicla Vision and MKR WAN 1310 , I determined that I needed to resort to a two module contingency plan because my inability to use the Nicla Vision as a peripheral meant that I could…

In the previous blog, I was able to get a particulate monitor that requires 5V to operate just fine from a battery and in a way which is rather efficient enough that solar power was not an immediate requirement. Nevertheless, to transition the system…

In the last blog post, I successfully built a battery-operated LoRaWAN-connected environmental sensor that measures temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and light intensity via an Omron evaluation module in the MKR form factor. The sensor power…

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 environmental…

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…

I plan to use The Things Network (TTN) as the cloud interface to my Node-Red Dashboard, so I needed to verify that it was working properly. Back in 2019 I had won a Things Network Kickstarter Gateway in the Project14 IoT: In the Cloud contest. Early last…

I just received an email reminding me that I'll need to migrate my LoRaWan gateway from The Things Network to The Things Stack. To quote from the Johan's email: " With excitement I announce that The Things Network is upgrading to the latest and greatest…
