LoRAD
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:
