EndSim (end node simulator) POC under construction
Basically the idea is a programmable desktop LoRaWAN 1.0.3 class A / B / C node. Use case (in my case) is application (dashboard) development and testing. If you need for example, temperatures with a certain interval (or value), battery voltages, general I/O, lat/lon, in(de) creasing SF / power, anything you may need, OTAA or ABP, you can add 'templates on a SD card, insert card to device and clone info. These setting are then available through the touchscreen menu. For example : once every 3 hours and 52 minutes and 12 seconds a temperature in lpp format and a voltage, just set it. Also there’s onboard GPS So device can be used as a mapper (auto/manual) ect.
Though default OoTB seems to be demo with Loriot so I may have to fire up with my account and test there before migrating to TTN so I can get quick 1st impression…
A few days later this MultiTech MTCAP AEP courtecy of Neil C, Campbell and the MT team ready for another trial deployment… should be initially online to start soak test this weekend…
price went up … I will test current consumption today… curious
Banggood… aaaaargh I’m not happy at all about their service.
I am still having a discussion about a product I ordered in August, and never received.
Yesterday they offered me a half what I paid, but the package was insured !
Dutch post nl didn’t deliver to me and for some idiot reason they said they sended it back to China.
Bangood stated ’ we’ll wait for the package , but me, as a customer, have no part in this, I want a FULL refund because a] package was insured and b] product was never delivered.
In short… hope your lock will arrive soon
Lesson learned… NEVER buy expensive equipment through Banggood … I have better experiences with E bay and Ali, much better service when something goes wrong !
*update- * must be reading here too… this morning ‘a manager’ offered a full refund for products I never received … after 3 months… thank you Banggood
lesson learned from the past, before wiring up everything, test individual ‘china’ modules.
here the 3231 RTC… is it still working ? and what about the coin cell voltage ect.
Just realised Neil @ Multitech had kindly shipped the LTE enabled version - MTCAP-L4E1…excellent!
Have got a couple of spare Data SIM’s here…
… guess what I will be doing tomorrow!
Back to N.West later in the week and have the perfect site lined up to use it if I can arrange short notice access. Warrington Community should have a new GW online by the weekend…
guess what I will be doing tomorrow!
