Lup Yuen Lee 李立源#RAKwireless WisBlock nRF52840 MCU + #LoRa Transceiver ... Super excited to start LoRa coding!
And now PlatformIO flashes OK to #WisBlock! ... Maybe earlier I was staring at the WisBlock lights too long and it timed out 🤔
#WisBlock #Arduino Firmware for receiving #LoRa packets ... Runs OK with PlatformIO ... Code looks surprisingly similar to our BL602 LoRa code 🤔
https://github.com/lupyuen/wisblock-lora-receiver/blob/main/src/main.cpp
What do #WisBlock #Arduino, #RISCV #BL602 and Apache #Mynewt OS have in common? They're using the same #LoRa driver code from Semtech! Serendipitous Discovery 😂
https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/blob/lora/customer_app/sdk_app_lora/sdk_app_lora/radio.h
#WisBlock will receive #LoRa packets from #BL602 ... Let's sync up the LoRa Parameters across WisBlock and BL602 ... Life gets Easy with Serendipity! 👍
https://github.com/lupyuen/wisblock-lora-receiver/blob/main/src/main.cpp
Default #LoRa Parameters for #WisBlock and #BL602 ... Are already the same! Spooky Serendipity 🤔
https://github.com/lupyuen/wisblock-lora-receiver/blob/main/src/main.cpp
#WisBlock receives perfect #LoRa packets from #BL602 ... We're done yay! 🎉 Tomorrow we shall take a walk ... And discover the real-world wireless range of LoRa!
#LoRa #BL602 Field Test Kit ... #PineCone #RISCV BL602 @PINE64 with RF96 LoRa Transceiver ... In a Permeable Paper Box with Battery ... And #Pinebook Pro for Urgent Field Maintenance 😉
Let's make our #LoRa Field Test easier ... #BL602 will auto transmit a LoRa Packet every 10 seconds as we roam in the wild
Cool Blue BlinkenLED for #PineCone #BL602 @PINE64 ... Tells us when it's transmitting #LoRa Packets ... As we run the LoRa Field Test in the wild
Cool Blue BlinkenLED for PineCone BL602 LoRa Field Test
Timestamp every #LoRa Packet received by #WisBlock ... We'll match these with the Geocoded Timestamped Photos that we'll snap as we walk ... It's like Pokemon Snap but for LoRa Packets
https://github.com/lupyuen/wisblock-lora-receiver/blob/main/src/main.cpp#L118-L140
This #PineCone #BL602 photo is Geocoded and Timestamped ... We'll match this with the log of #LoRa Packets received by #WisBlock
...And just to clarify: Geocoded Timestamped Chicken Rice didn't come from the Geocoded Timestamped Chickens earlier 😉
#WisBlock captured One Hour of #LoRa Packets from #PineCone #BL602 yay! 🎉 Now to match the Timestamps with the Geocoded Photos / Chickens / Chicken Rice ... Here's the log:
https://github.com/lupyuen/wisblock-lora-receiver/blob/main/logs/0922-1024.log
Battery is nearly full after one hour of roaming with #LoRa and #BL602 ... Good sign!
https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/tree/loraping/customer_app/sdk_app_loraping
#BL602 #LoRa packets received by #WisBlock ... LoRa works great 300 metres away! Will have to walk farther (and eat more)

In times of Disaster ... A #LoRa Radio would be incredibly useful 🤔
Cleaning up the #WisBlock Arduino Log for easier analysis ... Before the 2 km #LoRa Field Test

And we could call it... LoRaDio!

🇳🇱@lupyuen why does the chicken look raw, is this some sort of native food thing, is it really just steamed or something and looks raw? Any spices? Any good? (I love learning about how people eat in other countries :)
Ps, yes I just used an emoji smiley to simultaneous act as a smiley and to close a parenthesis.
@freemo Haha nope I didn't kill the chicken myself 😉 It's the famous Hainanese Chicken Rice...
@lupyuen I dont really know enough about singapore food. We have a few things we claim are singapore foods in america but probably in reality has nothing to do with singapore food...
Based on the wikipedia article sounds like something id love to try.
@freemo Yes you should! Totally safe to eat 🙂 Look for a Singaporean / Malaysian / Vietnamese Restaurant around your area
@lupyuen We do have vietnamese resteraunts but keep in mind america for whatever reason bastardizes ansy sort of asian food and its really just some american thing.
What I'd need to do is go into the vietnamese market we have (where native vietnamese imigrants tend to go) and go to the resteraunt there, then I'd have to ask for the vietnamese menu (they tend to hide it) and order off that.. however it is never in english. but I can ask the waiter, I bet they would know if i describe it.
I'm sure its safe to eat i was just surprised by its raw look. On closer inspection it seems the meat is cooked its just poached (boiled?) which explains why it looks almost raw but isnt, the meat isnt pink.
either way I intent to make it a point to try it sometime soon if I can find it. I need to start traveling again soon and asian countries including singapore is on my list.
@freemo Yep the chicken is boiled / poached ... Singaporeans hate pink chicken 😉 Show the pic to the Vietnamese Restaurant, I think they will know. Enjoy!
@lupyuen Lovely, I'll let you know when I try it.. like i said, going to have to get to singapore and other asian countries and try the real deal though :) According to wikipedia the "true" stuff is made with a special breed of chicken, I can admire that level of detail in a food.
