Hi @techielew ,
I look forward to the meeting at 15:00 GMT
Hope we can dedicate some of the meeting time to the things you've seen at CES in Las Vegas!

KK.L.NAGARAJU Yeah, I had set the baud rate at 9600 in both code and serial monitor @Umesh Lo...

Umesh Lokhande•1/12/24, 12:47 PM

@K.L.NAGARAJU So, you mean even after setting the baud rate properly? still doesn't work. Please share good quality pictures I mean proper screenshots. Also, appreciate more details on the RFID tags (card/key). Thanks!

K.L.NAGARAJU•1/12/24, 12:48 PM

Sure

Yes! Mostly I’ve been talking about how people can get involved with us!

@K.L.NAGARAJU In the picture, you shared it seems like the code has not yet been uploaded in your ESP8266. Because, in the other picture you shared it shows when you upload the code the COM7 not available (orange fonts in the output console of IDE). If the code upload succeeded then how come the serial monitor COM6 reading the serial terminal? So this means the code running on ESP8266 is older. I hope this may help you to debug the issue. Thanks!

Umesh Lokhande•1/12/24, 1:47 PM

@K.L.NAGARAJU Just for your reference, please find these attached images and compare them. I'm sure if the earlier code worked and the connections are correct then it will work. Keep me updated on your progress. Best wishes!

K.L.NAGARAJU•1/12/24, 2:59 PM

@Umesh Lokhande

Sorry for the inconvenience,

I take the pics at different timings, that's why COM differences take place!

Arduino Pro equipped with Bosch environmental sensors and IMU from Sensortec booth at CES

techielew•1/13/24, 3:39 AM

Digi Xbee and Qwicc sensors from Sparkfun. More of this and them on the way to server.

techielew•1/13/24, 3:42 AM

@Padmalaya Rawal I didn’t spend a lot of time in south and central hall where Doosan and a few of the other big robotics booths were so I didn’t see a ton of robotics beyond glorified Roombas being used as lawn mowers, etc.

@Petr Dvořák I scheduled a call with the neuromorphic chip co for after the show so will follow up once I have a story.

Kamaruu•1/13/24, 8:45 AM

Hey guys, any ideas on how to make proximity-activated locks except for ultrasonic sensors? We're trying to make a lock that is activated based on the signal distance of a receiver to the transmitter.

Navadeep•1/13/24, 11:45 AM

LiDAR if you to have a longer range, or RFID if tap based are some things I can think of. Now that you've specified it to be based on Tx/Rx distance, check out BLE beacon based usage. You can use RSSI values t translate to distance in meters and set a threshold point for door lock/unlock.

Can anyone assist me for learning IOT and embedded systems development

I have been learning about different microcontrollers (UNO,ESP32,NODEMCU) and C, C++

Kindly give me a roadmap to follow!

It's okay to do things in bits and pieces as you encounter new things. Knowing the vastness is needed and so this one.

Umesh Lokhande•1/13/24, 1:16 PM

Hi, @K.L.NAGARAJU I'd suggest starting with a simple 8-bit MCU like Arduino Uno board. With it learn how to program MCU, memories, and peripherals (fundamentals like how all works). Then, try to interface various sensors using protocols like Serial UART, I2C, and SPI. Later, pick a 32-bit ARM MCU, and get comfortable with 32 bit registers and operations. And finally, start building projects around the area of your interest. I hope this may help. Best wishes!

Kamaruu•1/13/24, 2:05 PM

@Navadeep what if like, i want it to activate based on the distance of a self-made, wearable device?

Kamaruu•1/13/24, 2:06 PM

So that only that person with the device is locked off ?

KKamaruu So that only that person with the device is locked off ?

Navadeep•1/13/24, 2:12 PM

One way is to have a packet transfer between two nodes where you authenticate with keyword along with distance calculation.

Navadeep•1/13/24, 2:14 PM

Let the transmitter be a beacon with the user sending unique bits. Receiver knowing the location of that bit in the datastream can authenticate from there.

Navadeep•1/13/24, 2:14 PM

Crude solution - got to see what standars exist in place for this type of application.

Kamaruu•1/13/24, 2:16 PM

Ohhhh ok i see

KKamaruu So that only that person with the device is locked off ?

Navadeep•1/13/24, 2:16 PM

@Yeshvanth Muniraj hop in for this one dude.

Kamaruu•1/13/24, 2:16 PM

Is this doable in an arduino?

Kamaruu•1/13/24, 2:17 PM

We are doing a research proj but this is just for proposal

NNavadeep @Yeshvanth Muniraj hop in for this one dude.

K.L.NAGARAJU•1/13/24, 2:19 PM

Are you referring to the Ultrasonic sensor?

Navadeep•1/13/24, 2:20 PM

Nah, the RF stuff. He's been working on this for a while now - packet transfer, protocol stack etc for automotive applications.

KKamaruu Is this doable in an arduino?

Navadeep•1/13/24, 2:22 PM

Yeah - got to interface wireless module on top of that though.
