Hi Sir, would like to ask if you can do a tutorial video about LoRa nodes communication? e.g.- showing its functions to simultaneous data transmission of possibly actual SNR and RSSI values from the LoRa 32 V3 modules. Thanks for always exploring new thing!

@@ShotokuTech I've been watching your previous videos over and over again, but sir, you haven't done two or three LoRa 32 V3 simply transmitting and receiving SNR and RSSI, such as two nodes sending signals and one gateway node receiving signals, or one node sending signals and two gateways receiving that signal. The result can be to observe the relative relationship between those nodes, their received signals, and the distance between the node and the gateway within a certain range. Sir, Could it be possible to do a tutorial video with this content? Thanks so much!

To be honest I suggest adopting the Meshtastic platform. Meshtastic Playlist: Quite possibly the best use case for your compatible LoRa devices. Become part of a larger community or make one. kzitem.info/door/PLVPBipeObwMNikSEscJtNj8iK2wksWBtu

@@Yoyo-kf8mi So did you look at any of the other videos from these playlists? These are pretty thorough tutorials. Meshtastic let's you monitor not just your own LoRa nodes, but other people's nodes as well. I am picking up nodes 2-3 miles away from me. And I can monitor RSSI for them in the web interface for Meshtastic. I don't know how else to answer your question. Thanks.

Hey! It's me again. I was wondering if you have already tested the new Wifi_lora_v3_factorytest_v1, besides the fact that i have already tested this board before (and done some projects with it) it seems to be that the new library update has so many different problems to solve (does not work at all, at least for me) and i was wondering how you dealt with that! Congrats for that good work on troubleshooting and challenges!

Right now I am totally immersed in running Meshtastic on the Heltec WiFi Lora 32 V3. My outdoor solar powered unit just survived its first night with 64% battery left and the Sun is coming out again. I'll see what I can do if I get a chance. I noticed a new board came up with LoRa failed right out of the box the other day. But flashed with Meshtastic it worked fine.

@@santiagoandres5658 We are learning about that step by step. I have several videos and shorts on the topic so far. You know from my other videos that serial and I2C devices are supported on V3 and I know Meshtastic supports MQTT. So I will connect the dots at some point. Stay tuned.

Thank you for your work! The voltage control is one of the "to do list" with my Heltec V3, dealing with my "connected beehive" project... But i'm still struggling with abnormal values given by both my DHT 22 ( Temperature digital sensor) and HX711 (weight analogic sensor) So i'm wondering if there is any user of the Heltec V3 board following this channel who has already tested these sensors and who could recommand me GPIOs that are known to work with this kind of sensors DHT and HX-711? (All the factory tests work fine with my Heltec V3 board ;-) Eric

For I2C I use pins 42 and 41. If you want to use the display with I2C devices attached, I use 'Twowire' for the 2nd I2C instance. The display resets the I2C pins to the first instance when it initializes. I show that here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/lqJ7s4aEZqGQoZw

Hello. I am currently using a boost module (the same that you show in the GPS video) to increase the battery voltage from 3.7 volts to 5 volts. The 5 volt output is connected to both ESP32 and the GPS module. So, in order to do battery management like this, how can I make it?
@ShotokuTech
5 ай бұрын
ESP32 only allow 3.3 volts on the GPIO pins. So you would need a couple of resistors to divide the 5 volt input to a GPIO pin between positive and ground. Then you would have to come up with the correct factor to multiply the resulting divided value back up to 5 volts. Or you can just monitor the 3.3 volt line the same as in this video. It depends on which voltage you want to monitor I guess. This was the booster I have used and it has its own battery indicator built in. (4 LEDs). I just attached a Micro USB connector to it to charge the battery. amzn.to/3PNk2gX

what are the calibration values you got there? does one create them by measuring something, somewhere, or are they generally the same? (the values I see when power is plugged are all over the place and definitely messed up. unplugged they might sometimes make sense. Also I'm getting a 4-digit value in (voltage since it's floatvoltage*1000) Maybe tomorrow I try again and understand my errors, but the calibration bit is a bit of a worry.
@ShotokuTech

I used the values I found when making the video. You can probably adjust them if you have some accurate measure to guide you. The output still may need some interpretation such as the four digit voltage. But you are off to a good start. Best wishes.

Hello! I bought one of these today and powered it on to my computer without attaching the included antenna, It ran the WIFI_LoRa_32 factory test code. I am worried that i fried the LoRa module. I don't currently have another lora module to test communication. Do I have any way of testing if my Lora module still works short of getting another module?

Without a second device, you would need some RF meter. Or, if you are lucky to have other people nearby that are running Meshtastic, you could install Meshtastic and detect other nodes. I didn't see other nodes until I put a longer 175mm antenna. Then I picked up two nodes 2-3 miles away. kzitem.info2zVF1u9YrWo?si=ysTlKXR6HAhKR1zN

I just assumed that I should build an external battery charging unit. It was instructive, but completely unnecessary ha ha. I will try the on board feature. I find that many times I run into the same challenge with 'include' files that seem like they should fall within my meager library management skills but go missing...

Brilliant video, thank you so much. I am also looking in to if the onboard led can be monitored to determine power supply,the led goes bright when plugged in, goes dim when on battery. The other possibility is does the voltage ready spike above the battery power when plugged in, in which case could maybe use if (voltage > batteryPower) then must be charging.
