RAKwireless IoT Applications

IoT applications usually require interdisciplinary collaboration between different disciplines during development and implementation.

With WisBlock, RAKwireless created a system accompanying the entire development path to the finished device using industrial-grade yet cost-effective components. Additionally, it offers the possibility to integrate components of prototyping systems from third-party providers into WisBlock.

With these systems, you can solve various tasks. Still, many steps are necessary to get a finished device, e.g., autonomy usable as a sensor node in harsh environments, which can be tedious.

True to the philosophy „IoT Made Easy,“ RAKwireless has ensured with WisBlock that this new solution is as simple as Click – Code – Connect!

I described the WisBlock ecosystem in an eBook titled „IoT-Projects for Makers: with WisBlock from RAKwireless • just Click, Code & Connect • to the finished device.“

Continuing this design philosophy, based on WisBlock, RAKwireless developed the RAK2560 WisNode SensorHub.

RAKwireless SensorHub is a modular ecosystem consisting of the main body and multiple pre-configured sensor probes. With pluggable, interchangeable probes and the option to add third-party sensors to the system, the Sensor Hub is a suitable and versatile solution platform for various IoT applications where environmental monitoring is needed outdoors.

The SensorHub can work battery-powered by non-rechargeable or solar-powered batteries or with an external power supply, depending on the application and deployment location.

For data transmission into Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN), LoRaWAN is available. Alternatively, NB-IoT can be used.

As a typical low-code system, it essentially requires configuration with the WisToolBox app from a cell phone.

I am currently working on applications of SensorHub in IoT using the example of measuring environmental data.

An eBook titled
„SensorHub IoT Applications:
• with WisNode SensorHub from RAKwireless
• just configure & connect
• to the finished application.“
is in preparation.

The planned release date is 11/15/2023, and pre-orders are available on Amazon.

RK900-09 Weather Station on SensorHub

The Sensor Hub equipped with a Sensor Probe containing Temperature and Humidity Sensor RAK1901 and Pressure Sensor RAK1902 was used to measure environmental data (Link).

RAKwireless offers the RK900-09 Weather Station more precise equipment for measuring weather conditions.

MEMS sensors measure temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and ultrasonic sensors wind speed and direction. You will find the technical data on the manufacturer’s website.

The SensorProbeIO associated with the RK900-09 connects the RS-485 output of the RK900-09 to the SensorHub interface.

The payload decoder provided by RAKwireless needed minor adaptations and is available on GitHub.

For visualization, I use Datacake again and get the following data output of this Weather Station.

Meeting mit RAKwireless

Am 19.09.2023 hatte ich die Gelegenheit den CEO von RAKwireless, Ken Yu, und zwei seiner Mitarbeiter in Zürich zu treffen.

Ich konnte einen Print-Version, des als eBook konzipierten Titels zu WisBlock übergeben.

Mit dem auf WisBlock aufsetzendem SensorHub wird es weitergehen.

Hier ist der Link zu Ken’s Statement auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7110136146503888896?updateEntityUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_feedUpdate%3A%28V2%2Curn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7110136146503888896%29
