Free Chemistry, Heating and LoRa stuff [UK]

shabaz

2 Sep 2019

Hi, I've got some items unrequired, if you're in the UK and wish to have it, please let me know if you want "chemistry" or "LoRa" or "Heating" stuff and I'll post it for free.

All of this stuff is new and unused, and I hate to just throw it away since it's quite useful stuff.

 

Chemistry stuff:

6 x 100ml beakers (glass), a plastic funnel, 4 glass pipettes and some boxes of universal indicator (like Litmus paper).

 

 

LoRa stuff:

Two SX1276MB1MAS (European variant) LoRa transceiver boards, and two SMA antennas that I think are for the 868MHz band (the boards are dual-band, they have 433MHz capability too with the correct antenna). They're for mbed boards, (might fit Arduino but I don't know), but could easily be connected using jumper wires to any microcontroller board or Pi for instance.

 

 

Heating stuff:

Two Quartz Halogen tubes (277mm long, from Ceramicx, 240V, 1kW each, plus holders with aluminium reflectors and a few miscellaneous things like ceramic screw blocks. I got these with the intent of making a reflow oven, but that never happened.

    Hi Jan, Belgium is no problem, the boards are small to ship. I can send them sent tomorrow. balearicdynamics and @BigG if you're interesting in LoRa, I might have some home-made boards in a few months…

    Hey, shabaz thank you, a lot, for the offer. Frankly, I prefer your handmade boards. I have no urgency at all, but it is a technology I saw at Electronika the past year and if I can experiment on it maybe…

    If you’re open to ship to Belgium, I’d like to try the LoRa radios. I’d paypal the shipping fee.

    Hi Jan,

     

    Belgium is no problem, the boards are small to ship. I can send them sent tomorrow.

    balearicdynamics and @BigG if you're interesting in LoRa, I might have some home-made boards in a few months, because I need to build a board with LoRa and a microcontroller combined (whereas the dev-board needs attaching to a microcontroller). So I can easily build a couple of extra spares. It will help me aim to make the boards user-friendly too.

    Oh yes, I would certainly be interested. What combo do you have in mind?

     

    If still thinking about options, here's one combo, which may provide some ideas to work off. This one uses a PSoC 6 dual core combined with a LoRaWAN chip... https://www.onethinx.com/

    That's an interesting module! They've made some nice design choices. For the LoRa chip, I'm using a similar one, part code SX1262IMLTRT. For the microcontroller, it's still under consideration, I need to think some more, but will be easy-to-use hopefully. It will have a physical antenna connector.

    ... so I was naively trying to port the MBED libs to "any other device", and I have currently 175 compilation errors.

    I think I'll hold off for a moment and try to create a working port of the libraries for the Project14 all things RF month.

    I can then post about the analysis of the MBED lib, what the MBED specific code is, and how to abstract that.

     

    Not being an MBED user may be the steep part of the curve image. One can but try ...

    ... I found out than one of my dev boards, a STM Nucleo, is MBED and has the right headers.

    I used the 868 MHz Ping Pong example, mounted one of the SX1276MB1MAS shields and it worked straight away.

    Below you see a TI CC1310 receiving the Pigs from the Semtech radio.

    Hi Jan,

    This is awesome!! : ) Glad it is functioning.

    (I cannot see any attachment, maybe it is video still encoding?)

    I've pasted two images from my clipboard. Odd.

    The two modules running on 2 Arduino MKR boards. One as sender, one as receiver

    Library used: https://github.com/jgromes/LoRaLib

     

    Edit: difference between transmitter sitting next to the receiver (left) and both devices two floors apart (basement and upstairs room, right)
