Reducing the barrier between maker and industrial. Maker stuff tends to stay toy level. Thats a sensor and actor problem. There's the 3.3 or 5V prototype world if SPI and I2C and MQTT VS the 24V 4-20mA, IoLink and OPCUA. Grove connectors VS M12. With our Revoution Pi we at Kunbus opened the field. Arduino with its opta followed. I'd love to see the range of grove sensors and actors ready to be used at any scale. Indoors and outdoors. Seed studio can let us bring to production what we imagine. I want seed studio stuff I can use for micro farming, autonomous driving and all the big world problems.

NodeRed - Whats next?

Scratch opened a new way of programming. NodeRed shiwed that it is possible to build a maker tool / ecosystem that is today used by all industries. Even as part of siemens and ifm products. We need the next step inthis evilution. Re-think industrial automation. Lets think of the usability of m5stacks code editor, open like the nodered repository and industry ready like codesys. And with full integration for github, gitlab, bitbucket and all the IDEs out there. Who is in?

I can that there is a task #519 to "Connect reTerminal DM to AWS cloud platform". Would suggest to add similar tasks for other clouds, e.g. Azure, GCP, Alibaba Cloud, etc. I'm personally interested to contribute to Azure specific one, thanks.

[crismancich]

Use the Open Source Thin-edge.io connector. It already features Azure and Cumulocity.

[MatthewJeffson]

Hi! @LazaUK May I ask that have you had the reTerminal DM right now?

[MatthewJeffson]

Hello! @crismancich Thank you for the sharing!

[LazaUK]

Hi @MatthewJeffson, I have smaller reTerminal, not reTerminal DM.

[MatthewJeffson]

Hi @LazaUK Sorry for the late response. But I don't think reTerminal will do the job.
The reTerminal DM is currently what we need.
Regards,
Matthew

[LazaUK]

Hi @MatthewJeffson, yes understand that they are not the same. If there will be any opportunity to get temporary access to reTerminal DM, happy to assist with this suggested documentation section. If not, maybe somebody else with access to the hardware can help to develop it. Thank you.

[MatthewJeffson]

If there will be any opportunity to get temporary access to reTerminal DM, happy to assist with this suggested documentation section.

Hello @LazaUK Wow, thank you so much for your great interest. I will ask my colleagues how to make this happen.
Regards,
Matthew

[MatthewJeffson]

@LazaUK I have just checked, using KVM and Tailscale may actually do the job, to give you the access to the reTerminal DM.
That was a great idea, it is very helpful for our next phase of Contributor Program.
Thanks! And I will try to make the method of "using KVM and Tailscale" happen as soon as possible.

I have a Esp32 S3 Sense. How to create a voice command by leveraging the Espressif Speech Recognition framework, the system can recognize wake-up words and execute specific actions associated with those commands.

[RT-Coker]

Possible new example/project for Wio Terminal. I have a working ".ino".
Will try to setup a project.

Hello @RT-Coker! That sounds an interesting project. Are you available for writing a wiki and PR to us? I really appreciate it.
If so, here is a template that might be helpful.
Thank you for using our products to bring the idea in the real life:D

AHT20 and SGP41

Hello all,

Maybe this has already been done, so I better ask first, because I've already 'invented enough wheels'.

I combined these examples:

• Grove - AHT20 I2C Industrial Grade Temperature&Humidity Sensor
• Grove -Smart Air Quality Sensor (SGP41)

Together they should produce "Humidity compensated" raw data values using the formulas from Sensirion_Gas_Sensors_Datasheet_SGP41.pdf and a little extra programming.

My output in the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor:
17:17:16.840 -> humidity: 62.46% temperature: 21.37 RH ticks: 40932 T ticks: 24855 SRAW_VOC: 30941 SRAW_NOx: 17262

So instead of the constants it uses the calculated ticks from the ATH20 measurement.

Required components:

• Seeeduino Nano
• Grove - AHT20 I2C Industrial Grade Temperature & Humidity Sensor
• Grove - Smart Air Quality Sensor - SGP41
• Grove - Branch Cable (5PCs pack)
• USB-C cable to connect to my Linux pc.

Shall I add it as a new example (if it does not exist already) ?

My idea is pretty simple. Can we mark some Github Issues and the wiki repo so that they count towards Hacktober? :)

Summary of maintainer's instructions from the site https://hacktoberfest.com

YOUR PR/MRS MUST BE IN A REPO TAGGED WITH THE “HACKTOBERFEST” TOPIC, OR HAVE THE “HACKTOBERFEST-ACCEPTED” LABEL.

YOUR PR/MRS MUST BE MERGED, HAVE THE “HACKTOBERFEST-ACCEPTED” LABEL, OR HAVE AN OVERALL APPROVING REVIEW.

[MatthewJeffson]

@hbswn Hello Hans! I guesses we haven't had it yet and would you mind adding the example in our wiki and here is the template that you may find it helpful.
Thank you!
Best Regards
Matthew

[MatthewJeffson]

Hi @thompcd Corey! Yes sure! We can and are very happy to do that. :)
Best Regards,

@MatthewJeffson on AHT20 and SGP41

I checked the docusaurus-version HOW_TO and found an issue with 'yarn' on Debian/Linux 12, but fixed it by reading the script and executing "yarn.js" as:

nodejs /usr/share/yarn/bin/yarn.js start
yarn run v1.22.19
$ docusaurus start --host 0.0.0.0
[INFO] Starting the development server...
[SUCCESS] Docusaurus website is running at: http://localhost:3000/

✔ Client
  Compiled successfully in 10.97s

client (webpack 5.75.0) compiled successfully

btw, I had to run it as "root", probably because it tried to install packages.

More soon . . .

[MatthewJeffson]

Hello @hbswn Hans!
Thanks for saying it and I'm really thankful for you doing that!

@MatthewJeffson

My first attempt: git commit

Missing two images, i.e. my version of these:

1. https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Grove-VOC_and_eCO2_Gas_Sensor-SGP30/img/3.jpg
2. https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Grove-SGP41/2.png

How can we upload images ?
( btw, maybe this discussion should be moved somewhere else)

Answer found in the FAQ: 1. Where do I keep the images?

Here's my first merge request: #666

Dear @MatthewJeffson ,

My idea is to add documentation for the Seed RP2040 board using NuttX RTOS. As a NuttX contributor, it is a pleasure to help Seed Studio, thus giving users another option to use this board. The current NuttX version supports the board and also was documented (https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/platforms/arm/rp2040/boards/seeed-xiao-rp2040/index.html). I would like to share how we can program and use many different drives ( sensor, RNDIS, telnet ...).

Best Regards,

Halysson Carvalho

[MatthewJeffson]

Wow! @halyssonJr
Thank you for supporting our board on NuttX! We are really appreciated you are doing this!
I will then create one assignment here for the process.
And you can refer to the structure of previous Zephyr wiki as well. Do you have related Grove modules on your hand?
Thank you!
Best Regarrd,
Matthew

[MatthewJeffson]

And we would really appreciated if you can add more our XIAO boards on it:)

[halyssonJr]

@MatthewJeffson, I don't have the Grove module. But it's not a problem, I can assemble and test on a protoboard. Also, it will be a pleasure to add more boards on NuttX Mainline, please, give me a list of boards.

[MatthewJeffson]

Hi! @halyssonJr It would be really amazed you can add our rest XIAO boards to it! :) since we found that it has related supported chips:
XIAO SAMD21
XIAO nRF52840
XIAO ESP32C3
XIAO ESP32S3
XIAO ESP32C6

Best Regards,
Matthew

Home Alarm using Xiao ESP32 C3, Deep Sleep with Reed Switch Sensors and Home Assistant

I am interested in seeing what would be the best approach to use several XIAO ESP32 C3 with a reed switch sensor and rechargeable battery to replace the sensors I have that work via RF. I want to build an alarm system integrated with Home Assistant, using the Xiao ESP32C3 as door and window opening sensors, with rechargeable batteries, working in deep sleep and sending the status when the sensor contact is broken.
It would also be interesting to use some Xiao ESP32 S3 Sense, with Microwave Sensors for camera and microwave detection.

[MatthewJeffson]

Hello! @djairjr Djair! That sounds really fun. We can continue to discuss it through the Discord:D
Best Regards,

I usually develop puzzles for Escape Rooms and I believe that a version of the Expansion Board that had I2S audio instead of a Buzzer would be excellent. I have already suggested replacing the OLED display with a TFT (there are some very small ST7789s). Almost all games use MP3, an external Relay and some input sensors (I usually use an I2C port expander).
