The Things Network LoRaWAN Series: Part 3 of 4: Create an IoT solution
Details
Once again we are very kindly hosted by the Designhuis (http://www.designhuis.nl/) for a new series of hands-on Things Network LoRaWAN workshops - being run for the community by the community.
This four part series of workshops – under guidance of community expert Frank Beks – will repeat our earlier run workshops to take you through building a LoRaWAN (1) node from scratch using an Arduino Pro Mini 3.3v, then connecting it to The Things Network (2) backend and other cloud services for data storage and display, then creating an end-to-end IoT (3) solution with Wemos ESP8266 Wi-Fi for motor/light control and finally using your node on the move for (4) location tracking using GPS or WiFi mapping.
Workshop participation is free, you will just need to purchase and bring your own parts set for node, solution and location tracking which can be purchased from TinyTronics via this link (https://www.tinytronics.nl/shop/nl/communicatie/rf(id)-wifi-bt/things-network-workshop-series-complete-part-set). You will also need a laptop with latest Arduino IDE (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software)installed.
Part One:Build and connect your own TTN node
Thursday 7th December: 18.30 - 22.00
Part Two: Connect the back-end with NodeRed / IBM Cloud / IFTTT
Thursday 14th December: 18.30 - 22.00
Part Three: Create an IoT solution with Wemos ESP8266 Wi-Fi
Thursday 11th January: 18.30 - 22.00
Part Four: Location Tracking with GPS and Wi-Fi mapping
Thursday 18th January: 18.30 - 22.00
This workshop is part 3 of 4: Creating a working IoT solution with Wemos ESP8266 Wi-Fi
Working further with the Things Network node built during the first workshop we will follow a step-by-step guide that will cover The Things Network LoRaWAN, Node Red and ESP8266 Wi-Fi. Connecting the node and sensor to the back-end cloud service and then back through Wi-Fi to enable device control.

Important note: For this Meetup you will need to bring a compete parts (mentioned above) and a completed Things Network Node. No soldering is required for this workshop. (If you missed the first workshop please contact the organizers for information on how to build or purchase a pre-soldered TTN node). Plus a laptop with latest Arduino IDE installed (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software) and Node Red (https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/installation).
