Hi all,
I am in urgent need of an arduino code to send voltage, current and power values from my sensors connected to the node to the things network.
I have the voltage divider as the voltage sensor and the AC712 current sensor, and the power is gotten by multipling V by Current. I want to also turn on 2 LEDS on the nodes., I will apprciate any help i can get…
Thanks
We’ll need a bit more detail - plenty of Arduino code on the internet, but what sort of Arduino, what radio chip is on the board, how is the device powered (because you may be draining the battery with your voltage divider) and then we can point you in the right direction.
Given the number of hits of Google for ‘Arduino LoRaWAN’, can you also let us know where you are at with coding an Arduino so we can pitch it at the right level
Thanks for your reply
My node is a dragino shield on arduino uno, powered by a power bank and then the sensors are the voltage divider and the current sensor (AC712). MY gateway is a RAK831. so i need an arduino code to send my voltage and current values to the network using ABP. thanks. I am not so good with coding arduino
So you have a device that doesn’t do anything other than transmit it’s battery level & consumption - does it not do anything else? Or is the current sensor attached to the thing you want to report on?
Dragino has rather a lot of documentation: http://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=Lora_Shield
The AC712 provides a voltage output based on the current so you can use an analog read for that along with the voltage from the divider.
Perhaps review the Dragino documentation and try building a simple node without sensors first?
Do you have a gateway of your own or a gateway close to hand?
Thanks for your reply
now I am good with the node without a sensor
that is I was able to transmit “Hello world” to my gateway.
now my voltage and current sensor are connect to a system I want to monitor,
I am able to read the values but i am unable to convert to format that i can use to send the data over lora
look at my code below

You have done already done it!
Can you see your payload on the TTN console?
As you are only sending 4 bytes, it would be best to change byte payload[9]; to byte payload[4]; so you aren’t sending random numbers from memory.
Note this won’t run very long on a power bank.
In fact if you get the firmware properly entering a low power sleep mode, a decent powerbank will likely decide nothing is connected and turn its output off.
In terms of initial experiments you are doing fine, but for something to really use, power supply is going to take more engineering.
Yea, thanks its working now
but I want to send downlinks back to the node, how do i modify the code to do this
You have already done it!
Just extend that code to process the received message which is in LMIC.frame.
Because the message is in the frame, LMIC will tell you where your message starts:
LMIC.frame[LMIC.dataBeg]
and LMIC.datalen tells you how long it is, starting at LMIC.dataBeg
Thank you very much,
Can u have a look at this new code and tell me what to do please.

Compile & test??
At face value it looks OK to me.
Thank you,
so I send 01 from server but it does not get to node
What does the serial output show you - I’m betting it is:
Received 2 bytes of payload
as that’s what you have sent - two bytes, and you’ve coded to check for 1. So why the 0? But I agree, it’s not clear what you put in the various boxes - suffice to say, it’s not hex and it translates whatever characters you enter in to binary.
So, to speed things up, that 1 will actually be turned in to 49 which is the decimal for the character 1. You may want to Serial.print the result so you can see what you actually receive.
nothing shows on my serial monitor as recieved
Are you seeing the EV_TXCOMPLETE (includes waiting for RX windows) message
If so, you could add a print of the LMIC.datalen directly underneath to see what is coming in, or not.
I already have this line in my code above,
Yes, I could see, I’m asking if that message comes up in the serial console when you send an uplink (which proves the LMIC stack thinks it has sent) and suggesting that you Serial.println the LMIC.datalen value without the if statement so we can see if you are getting the downlink, even if it is longer than you expect.
oh ok let me try that now
I have done that now, I get 0 printed
Assuming TTN Console (or some gateway log) showed that a downlink should have been transmitted, you need to figure out why your device is not receiving it. You can start by adding the following to the setup, for example after the line for LMIC_setDrTxpow:
// Make LMIC start its RX windows a bit earlier, and listen longer, to
// compensate for an inaccurate clock.
//
// Beware that a specific value may work for a slow data rate, but not
// for faster ones, and remember that RX1 may use different data rates
// than RX2. Like for some tests, RX2 in EU868 (using SF9) worked with
// the standard settings, but RX1 for SF8 needed 2%, while RX1 for SF7
// even needed 5% of the maximum error. For corrections exceeding 0.4%
// (0.4 / 100) this also needs LMIC_ENABLE_arbitrary_clock_error; see
// https://github.com/mcci-catena/arduino-LMIC/blob/master/README.md
LMIC_setClockError(MAX_CLOCK_ERROR * 5 / 100);
Be sure to read the link mentioned in the comment above; the example value of 5% is much higher than the 0.4% mentioned in that documentation. So, you’ll need to set the compile-time flag LMIC_ENABLE_arbitrary_clock_error, or when using the Arduino editor, set the flag in the file Arduino/libraries/MCCI_LoRaWAN_LMIC_library/project_config/lmic_project_config.h
Also note the following comment in LMIC’s source code:
