The WORKBENCH part 1

No it is definitely not low power. :joy:
It had to switch a 2kW engine. The float switches and Controllino work on 24V.
The LoRa part was more for monitoring pump failures and high water levels.

Been there, done that

FYI, AwardSpace will block you without notice.
I hooked up an HTTP Integration twice (on different accounts)
First one was blocked after a few days, seconds one after only 3 hours

sometimes it doesn’t have to be a small lipo … it has to be FLAT (wall LoRaWAN project - LoRaWALL© BoRRoZ :wink:)

capacity check - how long will it run when consuming xxx mA and cut off voltage set at x.x V ?

Was just thinking if that jumper was on 3.3V or 5V setting. :blush:

I am still experimenting with firmware on RN2483 (mostly repairing :sunglasses:)

x728

So to see if the flash went ok I just connected it like this (mini antenna because my gateway is 3 meters away )
Joining TTN through ESPlorer3 with the credentials from another device, and watching the console.

I was supprised to see it joined immediate… but also seen by a gateway almost 13 km away !

this proves to me that antenna hight is a very, if not most important factor :sunglasses:

My method for prototyping with RN2483 is, that I attach the module with double sided tape to the double sided 2.54 prototyping board.
The wirewrapping wire is very thin and goes through a hole to the other side where it is soldered.

I really could recommend one of these

Very well build and with different interfaces …

Not really a DIY project, but it still is a workbench :slight_smile: Hopefully some new projects will roll off it soon :slight_smile:

so I need another programmer to unbrick my programmer :crazy_face:

stopped

ordered the new picket 4 … hope the gateway still works :scream:

Not too many people are on the 3D Printing thread, so please indulge me if I also share here the Gateway I’ve been building:

what about a led IN the letter O from LoRaWAN :wink:

don’t post to many of these nice DIY pictures… 'I really don’t need a 3d printer - repeat loud ’ I really don’t need a 3d printer :rofl:

See, you have a natural flair for design… you should get a printer :wink:

Real flair would be Led’s for the the three curved strips above and below animated to ‘radiate/ripple out’ - though may get irritating after a time!

But @BoRRoZ should still bite the bullet…he knows he wants to!
