Looks like time for a new poll, and just as our MCU one is coming to an end.

What IDEs should I include as options in the upcoming poll besides Embeetle, PlatformIO, STM32Cube, ESP-IDF, Arduino, VS Code?

Hello, I want start my journey in electronics but I only have little knowledge in it, like solving k-maps, I want to learn more.. but I don't know how to started it nicely. Can anyone provide me guidance!?
thankyou

Hi! I'm considering the use of e-paper displays in my IoT project for low-power applications. What are the notable e-paper display modules available, and are there any specific microcontrollers compatible with these displays that you would recommend?

NekoCal - an E-Ink Calendar

A simple calendar made with e-ink display and stm32 microcontroller. Can display date&time and a background image. Images are stored in the SD card. The ultra-low power consumption and always on display make it perfect for basic information display purpose. Next step would be trying to use an ESP-32 to replace the STM32F4 make it possible to gra...

We have a friend @Marvee Amasi who needs pointers on moving to RTOS-based design: Need help making the shift from bare-metal to RTOS. I missed it so am resurfacing it to the group.

Anyone have experience they can share?

Hi @accur4te

support MQTT by default so no need to setup anything there. But if you wish to use only a Server from AWS then its possible to deploy

techielewOP•2/25/24, 3:09 AM

Seems like @wafa_athmani @youcef_ali @aymen ammari need to build an LPWAN system together under the guidance of @BenCos18 lol.

Not sure about @aymen ammari use case that requires cellular over LoRaWAN so like @orionrobots I’d be curious to hear about the amount of data transmitted etc before commenting further.

As for @wafa_athmani and @youcef_ali you may both want to look into ADR. It’s only good for stationary deployments but it adjusts the transmit power and data rate of the gateway/server based on the received signal strength of the device/node/endpoint so you should be able to get the power/performance optimization you’re looking for.

Hi @accur4te Yes, this is possible. The only catch is usually web hosting companies will not allow changes on the web hosting server. So better to take data from

to a custom dashboard which will be hosted on some kind of server like from AWS EC2, Digital Ocean etc. and then link to your business website. Best wishes!
