AMS5915 Dashboard - Historic

Node-RED Dashboard – AMS5915

Node-RED Dashboard Flow The examples in this series are for use with Node-RED and our NCD IoT line of products. If you haven’t already, check out this post, which will provide the resources required to get your environment set up. This example will set up a dashboard with 2 tabs, one containing current readings, the other showing historical data. All telemetry reported from the sensor is displayed in both tabs. Usage From the command line (Power Shell for Windows users), navigate to the Node-RED directory and type npm i ncd-red-ams5915, then start Node-RED. Click on the flow below to copy

NCDLib – Random Code for Controlling NCD Devices

Sometimes I like to write code to simplify my life, particularly when I need to call the same routines over and over.  Over the years, I have pieced a few code elements together to help make the NCD Component Library easier for me to use.  Some of this code is old, some is new, some is tested heavily, and some of it is random ideas I have had over the years.  A recent post on the forum prompted me to release the code, as I have been meaning to do this for a long time anyway.  This code represents a

IoT Arduino Wireless Temperature Humidity sensor

IoT Arduino Wireless Temperature Humidity Sensor Temperature Humidity sensors are one of the most common and widely used sensors with Arduino and other IoT platforms. There are so many use cases where a temperature humidity sensors can be used to detect potential problem like frozen pipes, broken freezers, malfunctioning air conditioning, water/humidity detection in crawl spaces and much more. In this IoT Arduino wireless temperature Humidity sensor project we will interface a long range wireless temperature humidity sensor with Arduino. These readings can be used to set an alarm or to send an alert. There are so many sensors which

Arduino barometric pressure sensor

Interfacing Barometer and Altimeter HP203B Pressure sensor with Arduino

In this article we are Interfacing a highly precise pressure sensor with Arduino. It is a package of Pressure, Altitude and Temperature sensor in a single chip. The pressure ranges from 300mbar to 1200mbar. The operating temperature varies from -40-degree Celsius to +85 degree Celsius. The data rate for pressure, altitude and temperature are 20 bits. Application – Sports watches – Data Logger – Project prototyping – Weather station – Navigation and map assistance Advantages The reading of pressure sensor is fast and precise. Using HP203B gives a combination of 2 sensors in a single chip with an I2C interface.

Isolated 4-20mA current loop transmitter

Interfacing Isolated 4-20mA Current Loop Transmitter Arduino

Interfacing Isolated 4-20mA Current Loop Transmitter Arduino In our last post we interfaced 4-20mA current loop receiver with the arduino, in this article we will learn how you can interface isolated 4-20mA current loop transmitter board with arduino. 4-20mA transmitter devices are used to provide 4-20mA signal which can be used to control pumps, valves, switches and transducers. For example lets say you want to want to control a sprinkler which works on 4-20mA current loop signal, in that case you will need a 4-20mA current loop transmitter board. To control such a sprinkler you will change the current output

Unable to Mount Virtual COM Port in Windows 10

Unable to Mount Virtual COM Port in Windows 10 If you are using Windows 10 (or any other operating system) and having problems getting a Virtual COM Port to be assigned to your system, follow these steps.  We recently discovered after a Windows 10 Update, that Virtual COM Port drivers may not load any-longer by default for some devices. If you are unable to use Base Station or AnyI2C software because the COM port is not showing up, here’s an easy fix: Prerequisite: VCP Driver Installation Recent operating system updates, hardware (VCP Chip) revisions, and VCP drivers may prevent a

Interfacing a Differential Pressure Sensor with Arduino AMS 5915-0100-D

Interfacing Differential Pressure Sensor with Arduino AMS 5915-0100-D AMS5915 is a highly precise differential pressure sensor with a digital I²C-interface. This high accuracy pressure sensor can be used for various applications and various pressure ranges, differential (relative) devices in the pressure range from 0 to 100 mbar. In this project, we are using AMS5915-0100-D an industrial grade differential pressure sensor. We can also calculate temperature from this single sensor which makes it more compatible, instead of connecting dual sensors for pressure and temperature this device serves all. What is a differential pressure sensor The Differential pressure sensors come with 2
