Low Power IoT Network using Arduino and Long-Range LoRa
In continuation of my work with the nRF24 IoT Sensor Network, I decided to test a couple of RFM95 (LoRa) modules I had in my lab. This time, instead of using the MySensors library, I opted for a more lightweight library called RadioHead for Arduino. The objective was to evaluate the range of these LoRa…

IoT Sensor Network using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and nRF24L01+
After a month of development, I’m excited to share that I’ve built an ultra-low-cost, ultra-fast DIY IoT sensor network using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and nRF24L01+. I initially tested the ESP8266 with its WiFi radio on, but it proved to be inefficient in terms of power consumption. So, I set out to find a better solution.…

DIY Arduino Tiny – Build a Dirt Cheap Version for Just 50 Cents
Not everyone requires a full-fledged microcontroller board like the Arduino Uno or Raspberry Pi for their simple projects. These boards typically range from $15 to $100, depending on your budget. However, if you’re working on a small project that only needs a few I/O pins, there’s no need to blow your entire coffee budget. Instead,…

Designing a Wireless Joypad for Robotic Control
I was thinking about designing a wireless joypad to control my robot, and I finally came up with an idea to repurpose a cheap Gigaware PS2 Joypad from RadioShack, which cost only $9.99. This joypad includes: I began by searching the web for ways to interface this PS2 controller with an Arduino and discovered an…
