Great video, but I do have a suggestion. The way you are using millis() for timeout will fail due to rollover. millis() is an 32 bit uint. When it exceeds 0xffffffff it rolls over to 0x0, causing the timeout check to fail after ~49 days. This is obviously not a problem for testing but if someone leaves it running, it will be. You can check by determining if new millis() < old millis(), if so then elapsed time=(0xffffffff-old) + new.

THANK YOU for not using scrolling code windows on your web site. I absolutely HATE those because when printing, as I always do, valuable web pages to PDF from which the code can later be easily copied and pasted from, the windowed code won't be completely printed and so many sites don't allow the window to be maximized. If they allow listings to be easily copied or if one copies from the scrolling listing, each must then be stored in a subdirectory instead of ALL being accessible in a SINGLE PDF document along with descriptive text.

@simonmasters3295
10 ай бұрын
Good question. And one that is quite important to answer, its not just one neighbor but anyone in a 10 block radius... Moreover while I echo the sentiment of many commentators about the pace and quality of your presentations, I am staggered at the effort required to hard-code the OLED display. I think there is some generous use of the term "we" as in "we are going to display two temperatures and two humidity values". Realistically the network needs to be expandable so that "we" are going to be able to receive input from N sensor types and M sensors in each type. Plus the server may need to do computations, for example to calculate the difference of two or more temperatures or report the lower of the humidity readings and may need to set of alarms or visual indications of abnormal conditions and take multiple corrective actions, both at the server or back at the location of the sensors. I see nothing in the code to illustrate how you would do this. Neither is it permanently, or temporarily, logging the time, identity and sensor value, so there is apparently no way to compare yesterday's value at the same time of day or take the sum or average of all readings within the last hour, the last week and so on. Basically unless you are actually looking at the OLED the whole setup is working for nothing. I saw a video today where the designer used png images created in Powerpoint to produce coloured sliders and formatted text boxes to create a really impressive customised OLED display. But, in a day when we are not surprised to find such information on our mobile phone, I think that some of this video promulgates an outdated approach to sensor data and coding for the OLED display. The mobile phone and not an OLED is likely to be at the heart of the interaction between a user and any network of sensors "we" are building, so to me it feels like you haven't really taken this to next-level IoT programming, and you may be training your 500k subs to think in silos. Please don't misinterpret my observations as criticism. Thank you for rekindling my interest in LoRa and Arduino.

I am a car guy with a good knowledge of electronics. You have have some but in blend door actuators use to control hot to cold, the simple ones use a gear driven potentiometer for 0-5Vdc and a dc motor to move and stop anywhere between closed & open. Being one level above cable and vacuum, how would a rotatory dash knob change polarity in the motor? I have 40+ years at dealer but as simple as can be, these controllers on the dash are only $40+ and one circuit board inside. I wanted to control heat / A-C in a 67 C10 pickup. Schematics show a block and call it "Logic". Is this an ardiuno thing or something way more simple that can build myself?

I guess I was hoping for an idea or answer. In the world of "Robots", arms, legs or any part that moves part of the way, stops and moves some more while having the ability to return would fit my needs. It is no different than an "RC" car's steering. Left, right, center or anywhere in between. The problem comes in the controller as it has 6-9 other features costing 20 times the actuator. Just a simple mechanism to move, stop and move again. Maybe they can't make a controller that does that on 12 Vdc with a few wires, not a radio frequency. ASE Master, 78

I suspect that LoRa isn't suitable for this type of application, as it requires a lot of background activity to send and receive messages. This is the main reason for its low bandwidth. It can be improved slightly by adjusting some of its transmission parameters, like "spreading rate," but even then, there is a preamble that lasts almost half a second. There is a calculator you can use for delay time here - www.loratools.nl/#/airtime

Inches are divided into 1/4 1/8 1/16 1/32 1/64 Not 0.390 - 0.390 is less than 0.500 = 1/2 also 1/4 can not be used as it is 0.250 = to short, So first we divide by 1/8 = 0.125 So how many 0.125 in 0.390 = 3.120 So we have 3 x 1/8 with 0.120 over Now we use 1/16 = 0.0625, So how many 0.0625 in 0.120 = 1.92. So now we need to use 1/32 = 0.03125 to be as close as possible. But I will not quibble about 0.92 of 1 16th as it is so close to 1 16th and call it 2 16ths so the last total = 3" ins & 7 16ths long. But would start with a length of 3" & 1/2 inch and take a tiny snips off to tune the antenna - Other wise a great video
