LoRa is often talked about as a potentially useful solution for emergency communication. The problem is, few of us are running around with LoRa hardware on a day-to-day basis. Student …read more Continue reading Radiochat is a Simple LoRa Interface Over WiFi
Although we generally think of Internet of Things (IoT) and similar devices as things that are scattered around above ground, there are plenty of reasons to also have such devices …read more Continue reading Using LoRa Nodes As Soil Moisture Sensing Antennas
The LoRa radio communication system is useful for low-bandwidth communication, and as many readers will be aware its special skill lies in delivering long range. For most of us that …read more Continue reading New LoRA Distance Record: 830 Miles!
In the bustling world of bees, swarming is the ultimate game of real estate shuffle. When a hive gets too crowded or craves a change of scenery, colonies scout out …read more Continue reading 2023 Hackaday Prize: Two Bee Or More Bee Swarm Detection
LoRa, the Long Range wireless protocol is pretty great for trickling data across long distances. There are some great embedded devices based around STM32, NRF52, and ESP32 microcontrollers. What’s been …read more Continue reading Hackaday Prize 2023: LoShark, The Radio Debugger for LoRa
Last week, my city was hit by a tornado. That’s not surprising here in Oklahoma, and thankfully this event was an F0 or possibly even an EF0 — a really …read more Continue reading Meshtastic for the Greater Good
LoRa is a communications method that allows for long range radio contacts to be made using typically low-powered devices. This shouldn’t be surprising given that LoRa is short for “long …read more Continue reading LoRa Goes To The Moon
Almost all of modern society is built around various infrastructure, whether that’s for electricity, water and sewer, transportation, or even communication. These vast networks aren’t immune from failure though, and …read more Continue reading Building A Communications Grid with LoRaType
Something odd is afoot in the mountains around Salt Lake City, Utah, at least according to local media reports of remote radio installations that have been popping up for at …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: January 8, 2023
At its core, the Internet is really just a bunch of computers networked together. There’s no reason that there can’t be other separate networks of computers, or that we all …read more Continue reading Building A Local Network with LoRaWAN
