Connect GND and VCC pins to Panstamp 2.0 Adapter

October 28, 2016, 3:14 am

Hello,

I Have panstamp NRG 2.0 which is connected to panstamp adapter. I want to power it by 2xAAA battery holder in order to send packet to another panstamp (receiver) which is connected to my laptop as a gateway.
Receiving a packet, the receiver node blinks a led.
The code is correct but the received node doesn't toggle its led.
So, I think that the sender node is not powered. For this reason I attached here 2 figures that show the connection of panstamp and the battery holder (VCC and GND)
Can you please see if my connection is correct or no because in my panstamp 2.0 adapter I'm not sure about the pins.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Sincerely

Hello all together,

I got my first panStamps beginning of august, targeting two different projects:

at first I want to create an automatic ventilation in the basement of the house we started to renovate in July. My plan: Four minibat sensor boards for the measurement of humidity and temperature, two must control two ventilators, and the other two are only for measurement (outside and inside). To control all and to log the data, I want to use a Raspberry Pi 2.

My second project will be an automatic irrigation in my garden, but it's to early to tell more...

The progress of the projects will be documented at hackster.io, but at the moment there's nothing public...

telemetry use case - help required

November 2, 2016, 4:50 am

Hi,

We are planning to develop a solution for a telemetry use case in a forest like environment with a radius of 1km.
We are looking at around 150 end nodes.
The sensor data may be required once in 5 seconds from every node and the data payload could be 128 bit.

In India, the following is the ISM band specs.

Frequency Band: 865-867 MHz
Low power RFID equipments or any other low power wireless devices or equipments
Power: Maximum transmitter output power of 1 Watt ( 4 Watts Effective Radiated Power)Carrier Bandwidth: 200 KHz


We are considering TI CC430 based solution for the nodes.
GWAP looks interesting as well to use it as protocol.

I have the following queries:
1. Can a gateway based on CC110x chips handle this much data 150 x (128 bit + GWAP overhead) once in 5 seconds
2. Is it possible to meet the range requirement of 1 km radius in a forest like terrain.


Kindly help me as i am a newbie in UNB/panStamp related technology.

Other alternative that we have considered is LoRa, but TI UNB looks better considering the cost factor.


Thanks,
Saravana

How do I get largarto-swap to tell me what is wrong?

Hi,

I recently melted my rpi server that was hosting lagarto-swap.
I have a bunch of C.H.I.Ps so I decided to put lagarto-swap onto them.

After a bit of fiddling I've got everything to work, except for saving the config. If I try to save the config it comes up and says "unable to process the command", and no where can I find a log that will tell me why it can't process the command.

How do I get it to tell my what the issue is so I can fix it?

BTW. I did think it was a permission thing so I set every file under the pythons_tools directory to 'a+rwx'

NRG 1.0 power consumption while sleeping

Hi,

I'm measuring a rather high power consumption when in deep sleep mode, waiting for pin interrupt (panstamp.sleep()), i see ~150uA (from 2.7V battery).
If I'm right, the wiki mentions ~7.5uA for panstamp 1.1, or 25uA for 1.0, but that's even with the accelerometer enabled (which I dont use in this application).

Any clue what this might be?

Here's the gist of it:
https://gist.github.com/kubaraczkowski/d...e477c220b2
It's for a gas meter with a magnet on 0.001 disc. That closes a reed switch when it gets close, which triggers a packet transmission.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I Have panstamp NRG 2.0 which is connected to panstamp adapter. I want to power it by 2xAAA battery holder in order to send packet to another panstamp connected to PC.
As a first step, I upload the sketch "Simpletst". When connected to PC, I see the led blinks every 5 seconds, but when I disconnect the panstamp and connect it to 2xAAA battery holder, the led doesn't blink.
I don't know if the problem comes from the connection or from another side?
I attach here the connection between the panstamp adapter and the 2xAAA battery holder.
Please, I need a help
Thanks in advance Smile

Future of panstamp

I wonder what responses I'll get on this post Smile Daniel, if you wish, please either respond on priv or delete this message not to polute the forum...

I've been following panstamps for a few years now - not having all that much time to play with them, but they did resonate with my expectations for a 'perfect mote'. Low power (msp430), low price (~10eur/mote), low size (especially the nrg2.0), simple but robust comm protocol (swap, now gwap). Add to this the compatibility with arduino, great support - well, who would not expect a great success ?
And still - purely looking at the amount of messages on these forums and 'the community' (for instance, there are no clones of panstamps on aliexpress Big Grin ) - something did not really "take off" (or I'm quite wrong, which I would absouletely love to hear!).

Daniel, could you comment? I think the idea is/was to earn on selling the hardware - is this working? Are there some commercial deployments of panstamps? The ESP8266 (and now ESP32) has somehow taken the place I thought would be for panstamps... (sure, you can't run ESP8266 from a battery for a year, but somehow that did not stop the hype...)

I'm just plain honest curious - you've got a great product, you've given all your best for quite a few years - how do you see the future of panstamps today? I've seen you've started developing ESP boards (the relay module and the ESP-SWAP bridge - great idea BTW!), does that pay off? Maybe it doesn't have to pay anything, because it's 'just a hobby'? (a very professionally done hobby if you ask me...)

Once again, please respond via PM if you prefer or simply delete this message if it does not fit here. I just though people using panstamps might be interested about the status.

Best regards,
Kuba

p.s. absolutely fantastic work on the panstamps, seriously wow! Smile

NRG 2 ADC Voltage Reference

Hi,

I am currently using the A5 pin on my NRG 2 board to measure voltage.

Is it correct that by default the voltage reference of the ADC12 is set to 1.2V? So I can only measure 0 - 1.2V?

Is there a way to change the voltage reference to 1.45V or 2.5V?

Thanks for your help!

Problemas de alcance

Estoy teniendo unos resultados de alcance demasiado pobres para lo que esperaba en esta frecuencia (868 Mhz). Algo no esta funcionando como debe.Huh
Tengo placas minibat 2.0 con panStamp NRG alimentado con pilas. Recibe una Raspi con el shield equipado con antena SMA articulada. Resulta que a distancias cortas (10-20 metros) en las que los módulos NRF24L01 (2.4Ghz) que tenía funcionando llegaban sin problemas, panstamp pierde envíos. Los nodos estan emitiendo 3 registros (batería, temperaturas de 3 termistores y temperatura de un DS18B20) y en las emisiones no siempre se reciben los 3 y a veces ninguno.
¿Alguna explicación/sugerencia?

Repeater Mode some problems + dont repeats command packets

Hi Daniel,
the distance of one of my panstamps to my server are too big. So i have decided to establish an repeater at the half distance.
The repitation of packets from my device to server of registers up from 0C works perfectly. But 0B register i canot receive at server.

But the main problem is, that command packets from server to my panstamp client cannot be deliver. I other words the status packet after an possible receive of my command are missing.
So i think, my repeater dont repeat the command packets. But why?

here can you see that my server register the repeated message at 2016.11.20 13:41:45
Code:
2016.11.20 13:40:45 4: WW_DG -> broadcast (0,0-2A): status WW_DG 0C:F7
2016.11.20 13:40:45 4: WW_DG -> broadcast (0,0-2B): status WW_DG 0D:0102000000000000
2016.11.20 13:41:19 4: SWAP_1B -> broadcast (0,0-0E): status SWAP_1B 0C:FF
2016.11.20 13:41:19 4: SWAP_1B -> broadcast (0,0-0F): status SWAP_1B 0D:0202000000000000
2016.11.20 13:41:45 4: WW_DG -> broadcast (0,0-2C): status WW_DG 0C:F7
2016.11.20 13:41:45 4: SWAP_1B -> broadcast (1,0-2D): status WW_DG 0D:0102000000000000
2016.11.20 13:42:45 4: WW_DG -> broadcast (0,0-2E): status WW_DG 0C:F7
2016.11.20 13:42:45 4: WW_DG -> broadcast (0,0-2F): status WW_DG 0D:0102000000000000
2016.11.20 13:43:45 4: WW_DG -> broadcast (0,0-30): status WW_DG 0C:F7
2016.11.20 13:43:45 4: WW_DG -> broadcast (0,0-31): status WW_DG 0D:0102000000000000

Here can you see the log of my server after restarting 3 panstamps. The panstamps WW_EG_Kueche and WW_EG_EZ can directly receive by my server. WW_DG ist too far away. You see, that the repeater repeats only a few of the sended packets by WW_DG. Why?

Code:
2016.11.20 13:46:31 4: WW_EG_Kueche -> broadcast (0,0-02): status WW_EG_Kueche 03:01

Hi. I'm brand new to panstamps. I bought the NRG2 kit and some minbat2 boards. I'm a bit at a loss of what to do next. I presume I will:

1) Solder the panstamp board to the minibat board
2) Solder the output of a 18650 battery to the vin / ground on the battery board
3) Wire up an FTDI cable to the RX/TX pins
4) Have fun

Is that right? I'm not expected to populate something on the mini-bat board right? Voltage regulators or some such? I don't need any sensors.

Thanks!

Getting started, questions on topology, windowing, various IDs

Hi. For a first PanStamp/SWAP project, I thought I'd deploy 5 PanStamp NRG2's with 10 or so NeoPixels each and hang them off my tree outside for the holidays. Then, get them clocked together and animate to my heart's desire. There's much to learn between now and then.

I feel like I've been all over the forum and Wiki, but am ashamed to admit I still feel a little confused by SWAP. Here are the beginnings of my plan and a few inline questions.
  • One of my PanStamps will listen to a serial port tied to my desktop. All remote PanStamps will know the address of this device.
  • Presuming a magical world where I've synced everyone's clock, I want the in-tree nodes to run a predefined animation at a future time. I need to get the time in the future and the animation ID to the in-tree nodes. The brute force approach would be for each tree node to SWAP Query the basestation for it individually. Instead, is there some way for the basestation to broadcast a status message with the time/animation to all nodes at once?

    Which runs into the fewest collision headaches, and which could potentially be repeated down a larger network? (maybe it's not just my tree, but all the neighbors trees as well)
  • I'd like to make this all reasonably power efficient. I gather that these things don't wake-on-radio reception, but instead try to wake during specific windows. True? If so, how does everyone get on the same page about when the window is? Does SWAP do that internally?
  • How do you tell a node what its device address is? I don't see in any of the sample sketches (like binouts2, etc) where this is happening.
  • Do I need to register for some kind of SWAP ID to get started?


Thanks for your time!
