  • Node-to-Gateway LoRa Network

    TTB #28: Node-to-Gateway LoRa Network

    This tutorial demonstrates how to build a simple and reliable node to Gateway LoRa network using the PTSolns LoRa SX1276 915MHz Shield and a compatible Uno development board. Assuming a working nearby Gateway, this tutorial shows how to configure The Things Industries End Device so to work with the Shield. Full sketch and steps are provided. Hardware setup is minimal, requiring only stacked shields and USB cables, making this an accessible starting point for long range wireless experimentation.

    TTB #27: Node-to-Node LoRa Network

    This tutorial demonstrates how to build a simple and reliable node to node LoRa network using the PTSolns LoRa SX1276 915MHz Shield and a compatible Uno development board. You will learn how two LoRa nodes communicate directly without a gateway, transmit temperature data using the onboard AHT20 sensor, and implement acknowledgements to improve reliability. The tutorial also explains how to interpret RSSI and SNR values to evaluate link quality and range. Hardware setup is minimal, requiring only stacked shields and USB cables, making this an accessible starting point for long range wireless experimentation.

  • Hacking a Cuckoo Clock

    TTB #26: Hacking a Cuckoo Clock

    When a regular Cuckoo clock just is not exciting enough, adding an on demand remote button changes everything. In this project we built a two node wireless link using matched nRF24L01 plus PA plus LNA modules mounted on PTSolns NRF Shields. The transmitter detects a simple button press while the receiver drives a solid state relay that parallels the original clock button. A quick splice into the clock’s internal adjust switch lets the relay mimic a real press. The result is a fully wireless Cuckoo trigger that works from across the room and is surprisingly fun to use.
