Event Information
Description
THIS EVENT HAS NOW SOLD OUT
The Things Network is a crowdsourced public internet of things network that is being built by communities all round the world.
Utilising a technology called LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) devices can be created inexpensively with massive range and low power consumption. This makes it ideal for the creation of sensors and devices that can be left in remote locations
This workshop is a practical demonstration that will take people through the process of building simple devices that can be connected to the Things Network. During the day participants will build a battery powered sensor that can connect to the Things Network in Hebden Bridge or anywhere else where the Things Network exists.
Activity covered:
-
Introduction to sensors
-
Introduction to LoRaWAN components - radio, stack etc.
-
How TTN works
-

-
Provisioning and using the TTN console
-
