I am trying to develop an Arduino sketch in order to send Temp-humi data from a dht11 sensor to KPN (Dutch) Network throughout a LoRa module (Dragino).
There are plenty of sketches around internet with similar function, but none of them has the right function I expect, since most of them ONLY send a simple 'Hello world' data throughout the ABP or OTAA Keys that the Network provides. In the other hand, I have also found sketches that ONLY makes the temp/humi functionality, withouth having the chance to write the Activation Keys.
So, I am actually trying to join these two codes with these functionalities (Request the Activation Keys to connect with KPN Network, as well as the sender sensor data), and it seems to compile properly, however, it is not sending any data, so probably the code is wrong.
May I get any link to the right one or any recommendation, please?
Many thanks in advance.

I have also had my problems with the Dragino shield and dht11 but i got it working.
My script: https://github.com/FelixKunz/LoraDraginoDHT
I would recommend you to use the RN2483. I've had rarely any troubles with this chip and it is not as expensive as the dragino shields.

I've an issue with my current micropython project on my ESP8266. I've a 10x10 LED matrix which i would like to control via 4 shift registers.
In general 3 pins are required for the controlling DATA, LATCH and CLOCK. After some hours of internet searching the most promising solution was the usage of SPI, where also found some useful instructions for the pyboard (thank you for the code btw):
https://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic.php?t=1219
I tried to replace the pyboard specific librarys with the general machine module for the ESP8266 to get access to the SPI class. It worked fine till a specific point but the main issue at the moment is that it was not capable provide a binary signal at the DATA pin.
To be honest I'm a little bit confused about the write methods in the machine.SPI class. The docu says the return value is None. So in general what is the purpose of a write method with a return value of None (sry for the maybe silly question)
Is there maybe another solution to get a binary signal out of the data pin? I'm not sure anymore if the usage of SPI is the best way to manage the controlling. Do you have some other examples or tutorials to get deeper into the topic?
Thank you for your kind response in advance,

I need to implement a software module that is able to retrieve the topology of an autonomous system.
Looking at the various protocol that are implemented in Cisco routers i concluded that the only two alternatives to obtain topology are smnp and ospf.
The first one is a workaround and i don't want to use it, this leads to ospf.
I haven't found library in c, java and python that are usable; this one ( http://www.ospf.org/ )is probably the most complete but comes without documentation and i don't have enough time to analyze all the code.
So i found quagga that can implement a software ospf router; seems the perfect alternative since it can work with both real network and simulated network in gns3.
But it's possible to obtain the ospf routing table from quagga since everything is from command line?
This are my conclusions and doubts if someone can suggest something better or help me with the next step it would be appreciated since i'm stuck at the moment.
Use quagga's ospfclient feature. There is already an example provided in the ospfclient directory (see ospfclient.c) which will show you how to retrieve the LSA database from a quagga/ospfd instance. For this solution to work you need to attach a PC to one of your OSPF backbone routers and configure quagga/ospfd on it to successfully learn the routes then you start your ospfclient to retrieve any information you need.
Basically I need information on how to pull data from a flash game webbased client and put that data into an app. The game is evony.com its a webbased flash game. I can probably figure out the coding such as parse the login and password and display the information in the app. What Im have major problems is following,
How can I find out what data in what format is being transmitted from
webbased client to their server.
What software, preferably free, is out there that will do this for me?
Is there any tutorials, explanations, pointers anything describing this
on the inet because I have searched high and low without success.
I think the problem is because I am a beginner, I do not know the correct wording to serch for to find this information. It's a little like a needle in a haystack :) If you know what you want but dont know what it is called, get a new hobby :(
VERY much appreciated for any help, pointers, explanations, descriptions, tutorials or anything that can help me with this, very very much appreciated all.

The tool of choice to get started is WireShark. Its a software to monitor in- and outgoing datatransfer. It's very powerfull and a bit complex to get filtering right. Try something different to get started (e.g. do a ftp-login and try to "steal" your own password).
In Step two, you need to reverse engineer the communication between your client and the server. Thats the fun part. If it is encrypted, bad luck.
If you want to read the data, you can use libraries like LibCap to get the data in a language of choice. The flash player interacts with the game and you read the data transmitted.
If you are going for a stand alone program without the running flash client, you need to write your own client based on the protocol you got from step two. Be prepared to be kicked and banned permanently on the slightest error. I haven't checked on this one but every MMO I know and I can imagine do prohobit such tools.
I'm nxj beginner.
I have some questions about bluetooth communication between PC and brick.
First, when bluetooth communication occurs, where is the birthplace processing this datas?
In other words, I want to know whether these datas will be processed on CPU or brick.
Second, what is exact roles CPU and brick in bluethooth communication?
That means what is processed on CPU and what is processed on brick.
I have searched almost web site but I can't find this anywhere.
Please help me. Thanks.
You can see it in the package structure.
lejos.nxt.*
This package contains classes running on the NXT-brick. All code in this package will be compiled for the brick and will run on the brick.
lejos.pc.*
Here the difference is not that clear. This is java-code you compile for personal computer. So most code runs on your computer. But some classes (e.g: RemoteMotorController) only send messages to the NXT-brick which gives commands to the motors.
lejos.pc.comm provides API's that allow you to communicate/control the nxt robot from the PC.
When importing the the libs to an Android project, it allows you to build an instance of the same environment used on a pc, but within android.
I agree it can be tough finding some things out. It would be great if there was as stronger lejos presence on SO
This question is months old and has remained un-answered I actually have a lot of questions about it myself, but I might be able to provide some insight for utter novices.
when using bluetooth with Android and NXJ robots, you use either lejos.pc.comm or lejos.NXJ.
Both provide APi's to do almost the same thing, but work a little differently. I don't know nearly enough about the NXJ api, but I do know that it is the one that lets you manipulate the robot much more effectively, such as outputting data to it's LCD screen, which you can't do with the pc.comm api
As far as I can tell, the pc.comm API uses both Android Bluetooth API's and it's own protocols to allow communication with Lego LCP commands.
(I want to come back to this, but I'm writing a dissert on the topic so I'll try to update it in a couple of days. Seems not many are interested though, shame)
Is it possible to get location data out of Google Gears, Google Gelocation API or any other web location API (such as Fire Eagle) in such a format that it appears to other software as a GPS device?
It occured to me reading these answers to my question regarding WiFi location finding, on Super User, that if I could emulate a GPS unit, many of these web services could act as a 'poor-mans' GPS to otherwise less useful software that requires it.
Is GPSD an option?
Preferably OSX & Python, but I would be interested in any implementation.
There is a very similar thread on a Python mailinglist that mentions Windows virtual COM ports and discusses Unix's pseudo-tty capabilities. If the app(s) you want to use let you type in a specific tty device file, this may be the easiest route. (Short of asking the authors to provide a plugin API for what you're trying to do, or buying yourself a $20 bluetooth GPS mouse.)
Are you using OS X?
There is a project macosxvirtualserialport on Google code that provides a graphical wrapper around some of the features of a utility called socat. I'd recommend taking a look at socat if you see potential in the pseudo-tty route. I believe you could use socat to link a pipe from a Python program to a pseudo-tty.
Most native Mac apps will be querying IOServiceMatching for a device with kIOSerialBSDRS232Type, and I doubt that a pseudo-tty will show up as an IOKit service.
In this case, unless you can find a project that has already implemented such a thing, you will need to implement a driver as described in this How to create virtual COM port thread. If you're going to the trouble of create a device driver, you would want to base it on IOKit because of that likely IOServiceMatching query. You can find the Apple16X50Serial project mentioned in that post at the top of Apple's open source code list (go to the main page and pick an older OS release if you want to target something pre-10.6).
If your app is most useful with realtime data (e.g. the RouteBuddy app mentioned in the Python mailinglist thread can log current positions) then you will want to fetch updates from your web sources (hopefully they support long-polling) and convert them to basic NMEA RMC sentences. You do not want to do this from inside your driver code. Instead, divide your work up into kernel-land and user-land pieces that can communicate, and put as little of the code as possible into the kernel part.
If you want to let apps both read and write to these web services, your best bet would probably be to simulate a Garmin device. Garmin has more-or-less documented their protocol in the IntfSpec.pdf file included with their Device Interface SDK. Again, you'd want to split as much as you could into user-space code.
I was unable to find a project or utility that implements the kernel side of an IOKit-based virtual serial interface, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't one hiding somewhere out there. Unfortunately, most of the answers I found to that question were like this, with the developer being told to get busy writing a kext.
I'm not exactly sure how to accomplish what you're asking, but I may be able to lend some insight as to how you might begin to get it done. So here goes:
A GPS device shows up to most systems as nothing more than a serial device -- a.k.a. a COM port if you're dealing with Windows, /dev/ttySx if you're in *nix. By definition, a serial port's specific duty is to stream data across a bus, one block at a time. So, it would then follow logically that if you want to emulate the presence of a GPS device, you should gather the data you're consuming and put it into a stream that somehow acts like an active serial port.
There are, however, some complications you might want to consider:
Most GPS devices don't just send out location data; there's also information on satellite locations, fix quality, bearing, and so on. Then again, nobody's made any rules saying you have to make all that data available. There's probably more to this, but I'll admit that I need to do more research in this area myself.
I'm not sure how fast you can receive data when dealing with Google Latitude, etc., but any delays in receiving would definitely result in visible pauses in your "serial port"'s data stream. Again, this may not be as big a complication as it seems, because GPS devices are known to "burst" data across the bus anyway, but I'd definitely keep an eye on that. You want to make sure there's always a surplus of data coming across, not a shortage.
Along the way you'll also have to transform the coordinates you receive into valid GPS sentences, as well. You can find specifications for those, but I would definitely make friends with the NMEA standard -- even though it is a flawed standard, it's the one everyone seems to agree on anyway.
Hope this helped you, at least a little bit. Are there anymore details specific to your problem that you think could be useful in answering this question?
Take a look to Franson GPS Gate which allows you to connect to Google Earth among other things (like simulating GPS and so on). Is windows only though but I think you could get some useful ideas from it.
I haven't looked into it very much, but have you considered using Skyhook's SDK? It might provide you with some of what you are looking for. It's available for every major desktop and mobile OS.
