Reading Belgian Smart Meters via P1 Port and Transmitting Data over LoRaWAN
An Arduino-based system that reads a Belgian smart meter’s P1 port and transmits aggregated electrical data over LoRaWAN every 15 minutes, with over-voltage detection aimed at catching solar inverter shutdowns.
Connecting ThinkNode G1 LoRaWAN Gateway to AWS IoT Core
Step-by-step guide to connecting the ThinkNode G1 LoRaWAN gateway (~100€ on AliExpress) to AWS IoT Core using LoRa Basic Station mode, including a workaround for uploading the client certificate via SSH.
Get rid of "FRSRAM" error on Zoul platform [Contiki]
Running out of RAM on a Zolertia Zoul/CC2538 with Contiki OS? The .stack will not fit in FRSRAM error means you’ve hit the default 16 KB limit. A single macro disabling Low Power Mode unlocks the full 32 KB — here’s the fix and the battery trade-off you need to know before applying it.
Specific slotframe in TSCH [Contiki OS]
Need deterministic, congestion-free communication between specific nodes in a Contiki TSCH network? This post shows how to hard-code a custom slotframe by overriding tsch_schedule_create_minimal(), with working code for a 3-node topology on Zolertia Zoul hardware.
