  • SparkFun RFID Qwiic Reader - Elektor

    SparkFun SparkFun RFID Qwiic Reader

    Plug a reader into the headers, use a Qwiic cable, scan your 125kHz ID tag, and the unique 32-bit ID will be shown on the screen. The unit comes with a read LED and buzzer, but don't worry, there is a jumper you can cut to disable the buzzer if you want. Utilizing SparkFun's handy Qwiic system, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we still have broken out 0.1"-spaced pins if you prefer to use a breadboard. Utilizing the onboard ATtiny84A, the Qwiic RFID takes the six byte ID tag of your 125kHz RFID card, attaches a timestamp to it, and puts it onto a stack that holds up to 20 unique RFID scans at a time. This information is easy to get at with some simple I²C commands.

    SparkFun SparkFun DataLogger IoT (9DoF)

    The SparkFun DataLogger IoT (9DoF) is a data logger that comes preprogrammed to automatically log IMU, GPS, and various pressure, humidity, and distance sensors. All without writing a single line of code! The DataLogger automatically detects, configures, and logs Qwiic sensors. It was specifically designed for users who just need to capture a lot of data to a CSV or JSON file and get back to their larger project. Save the data to a microSD card or send it wirelessly to your preferred Internet of Things (IoT) service! Included on every DataLogger IoT is an IMU for built-in logging of a triple-axis accelerometer, gyro, and magnetometer. Whereas the original 9DOF Razor used the old MPU-9250, the DataLogger IoT uses the ISM330DHCX from STMicroelectronics and MMC5983MA from MEMSIC. Simply power up the DataLogger IoT, configure the board to record readings from supported devices, and begin logging! Data can be time-stamped when the time is synced to NTP, GNSS, or RTC. The DataLogger IoT is highly configurable over an easy-to-use serial interface. Simply plug in a USB-C cable and open a serial terminal at 115200 baud. The logging output is automatically streamed to both the terminal and the microSD card. Pressing any key in the terminal window will open the configuration menu. The DataLogger IoT (9DoF) automatically scans, detects, configures, and logs various Qwiic sensors plugged into the board (no soldering, no programming!).

What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?

The Internet of Things, or IoT, is a system of interconnected computing devices, physical objects with sensors, processing power, software, and other technologies that have unique identifiers (UID). The IoT network deals with communication between machines, device identification, and communication. Therefore, choosing the best wireless network based on the IoT specifications is essential.

IoT devices can transfer data over a network without the need for human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. As a result, users may experience difficulties with security, integration, process capability, scalability, and accessibility. Solving these problems requires a smart approach to IoT device management.

What are LoRa and LoRaWAN?

LoRa enables transmissions over very long distances (more than 10 km in rural areas) with low power consumption. It is a widely used technology for IoT networks worldwide. Thanks to LoRa technology, we can solve some of the world's biggest problems: energy management, natural resource reduction, environmental protection, infrastructure efficiency, disaster relief, and more.

However, the low bandwidth of LoRa cannot be used for just any application. Due to limitations in the frequency range it uses, the protocol is unable to transmit continuously.

LoRaWAN is a low-power, wide area networking protocol built on LoRa radio modulation technology. It connects devices wirelessly to the Internet and manages communications between end-node devices and network gateways. Thus, LoRaWAN defines the communication protocol and system architecture for the network, while the physical layer of LoRa enables the long-distance communication link, with the help of the gateway.

The gateway helps to realize transmission from an electrical device to the cloud, especially in environments where other types of networks are not usable due to technical limitations.

What can you do with LoRa technology? What does Elektor offer? What accessories are there?

LoRa is an excellent choice for indoor use in a broad spectrum of applications, including smart cities, buildings, agriculture, metering, healthcare, and logistics. It is safe, bidirectional, low-power, and has a long range.

Accessories help users optimize their IoT setups. Elektor offers a wide choice of components, including gateways, RFID readers, IoT shields, and different types of sensors (e.g. temperature, position, and humidity) to meet the diverse needs of a wide range of customers.

The future of LoRa

LoRa will help reduce the costs of creating IoT solutions and enable large-scale IoT applications. It is expected to play a key role as a communications network. For example, we expect it to be used for a wide range of applications, such as numerous smart lighting systems, hydropower usage tracking, and industrial data monitoring and analysis.
