LoRAD


img LoRAD (LOw energy Radiation and data acquisition) is a Lorawan compatible environnemental sensing device i developped. It features:

  • A 6 months long battery life (in some modes)
  • A geiger tube and its supporting circuitry to detect ionising particles
  • A BME688 temperature / Humidity / Air pressure / TVOC sensor
  • A RA-08 (ASR6601 within) lora enabled SOC
  • A ch32V003 MCU that manages the rad boost converter (400V), it also reads the pulses from the tube and provides the data over I²C, all without CPU involvement since it’s all DMA based.
  • An integrated sound system for audio feedback
  • GPS capabilities
  • fast 10W charging over USB-C PD

An add-on card for it with a color LCD and LVGL based interface has also been made: img
