DataLogger IoT - 9DoF - plus LoRa transmission

Components & Accessories Power
1

Hello,

I am trying to transmit the data available on the serial port of the DataLogger IoT - 9DoF via LoRa using the expLoRaBLE board.

However, it is not possible to change the datalogger’s firmware to transfer the data via I2C or SPI. Therefore, I have the following questions:

1- Is it possible to restore the DataLogger’s firmware by uploading another sketch?

2- Is there any way to use the expLoRaBLE to read the datalogger’s data directly from the serial port without changing the firmware?

Hi -

  1. If you overwrite the dataloggers firmware, you can restore it by following the instructions here:

After that, you’ll probably need to upgrade to the latest version.

  1. We do have customers reading data via the serial port, but I’m not sure how this would work in conjunction with the exLoRaBLE board.

It’s worth noting, we are working on a LoRaWAN IoT solution for release in the fall that would include DataLogger functionality - but it might not work for your needs.

Would a “output to a serial TX/RX pin” option for the DataLogger work? We could have the output write to UART connect to some of the expose GPIO pins - you could then read from these in the Firmware on the ExpLoRaBLE board for output - if so, you can submit a feature request here and we can look to get it in the next firmware update.
