STM32 Wireless LoRa Sensor Network with Node-RED GUI on a Raspberry Pi
Find new ideas and enthusiasm by going hands-on! Many of you are spending long hours behind a computer screen or in video calls – why not get back to the basics and dive into a new project you can do yourself? This project is from https://www.elektormagazine.com/labs/ and we are sure you will find something of your interest in the almost 2000 electronics projects you can find there! Check it out!
The aim of this project is to construct a robust wireless LoRa sensor network using STM32 NUCLEO-WL55JC1 dev boards. The boards use demo code which has been adapted using STM32CubeIDE to transmit and log Air Quality data from additional sensors connected to the boards. The data is then formatted and displayed on a user friendly GUI using Node-RED running on a Raspberry Pi. This is one of the many projects you will find on
What it offers!
Key Features
- Long-range communication: LoRa modulation enables coverage over large areas
- Low power consumption: Maximizes sensor node battery life.
- Scalability: Easy to expand the network with additional sensor nodes.
- Flexibility: Adaptable to various sensor types and applications.
- User-friendly data visualization: Node-RED GUI simplifies data logging and analysis.
Potential Applications
- Environmental monitoring: Track air quality, temperature, humidity, and more.
- Smart agriculture: Monitor soil moisture, crop health, and irrigation needs.
- Asset tracking: Locate and monitor valuable assets in real-time.
- Industrial automation: Collect data from remote machinery and equipment.
