Selecting the right Arduino board for battery powered operation
•
I had a fairly simple objective – to build a battery powered outdoor weather station using an Arduino. The very first step, choosing which Arduino board to use, proved to be more complex than I expected. In fact, the array of parameters in my selection matrix kept growing over time as my knowledge increased during the design and build process. High on my list of needs was that the weather station should be able to run…

Testing the NRF24L01 with Arduino Nano 33
•
Summary NRF24L01 modules, because of their low cost, are an appealing option for data transmission over modest distances. They are best suited to unobstructed “line-of-sight” transmission, but one might hope at least to reach an adjacent room indoors. Here, I describe my experience testing a pair of NRF24L01 modules, each linked to an Arduino Nano 33 BLE. My first attempt was a complete failure and I then had to figure out how to debug it. I…
