Story

1 / 2

We started this project with the following objective : design an autonomous device that follows the evolution of a green roof after the installation of solar panels.

With this we can study the evolution of biodiversity and the effect of heat island.

Detailed features

The monitoring consists in managing:

Air/soil moisture
Air/soil temperature
Brightness (and even RGB rays)

using the microcontroller and the sensors

Prerequisites

Have knowledge in

Microcontroller programming (C++)
How to read a datasheet and extract the most important data
I2C, SPI, UART, CRC Protocols

How to send data using Sigfox:

How many message can be sent per day?
How to build the message? (SQL Queries)

Steps to follow

1. Carry out a mapping of all the pins used for the project, depending on the technologies used to interpret the data

2. Programming the microcontroller STM32 NUCLEO-L432KC in terms of

Retrieving data from the sensors
Converting the data to send using Sigfox
Configuring the sleep mode of the microcontroller when the Sigfox module does not send message

3. Setup the IoT Azure Cloud platform following this tutorial : https://github.com/aureleq/sigfox-azure-iothub

4. Configure the dashboard where all the retrieved data will be displayed

Create charts
Save data in database

Functions used :

These functions allow to read the values from the sensors and to convert their value in order to make sure it can be stored in a 8 bit variable. The parametre type tells the function whether is an internal measurement or not.

uint8_t GetAirHumidityReduced(int type)
uint8_t GetAirTempReduced(int type)
uint8_t GetSoilTempReduced(int type)
uint8_t GetSoilHumidityReduced(int type)
uint8_t GetLuminosityReduced(int type)
void printSensorValue_int()
void printSensorValue_ext()

How to build and send the Sigfox message :

Once the measurement is done, the payload is built from all the values and sent to Sigfox network :

// Build Sigfox Payload Frame
       dataSigfox1_int = ((uint32_t)(air_temp_int_reduced) << 24)    |
                         ((uint32_t)(soil_temp_int_reduced) << 16)   |
                         ((uint32_t)(air_hum_int_reduced) << 8)      |
                         ((uint32_t)(soil_hum_int_reduced));
       dataSigfox2_int = ((uint32_t)(lum_int_reduced) << 24) |
                         ((uint32_t)(rgb_int_red) << 16)     |
                         ((uint32_t)(rgb_int_blue) << 8)     |
                         ((uint32_t)(INT_MEASURE));

       dataSigfox1_ext = ((uint32_t)(air_temp_ext_reduced) << 24)    |
                         ((uint32_t)(soil_temp_ext_reduced) << 16)   |

       dataSigfox2_ext = ((uint32_t)(lum_ext_reduced) << 24) |
                         ((uint32_t)(rgb_ext_red) << 16)     |
                         ((uint32_t)(rgb_ext_blue) << 8)     |
                         ((uint32_t)(EXT_MEASURE));
