Development of my project - Elaboração do meu projeto.

Ola,

Initially excuse my very bad Portuguese and English, thanks for your patience to try to understand me.
Primeiro desculpam o meu muito mau português e ingleses, obrigado da vossa paciência para tentar compreender-me.

After much of hesitations, I ordered a RX+ with a TX.
For working out my project well, I have a VP2 which I keep in function
The function of WeatherDuino will be a comparative study with my VP2 and a function agriculture.
Após muitas hesitações, encomendei um RX+ com um TX.
Para efectivamente elaborar o meu projeto, tenho um VP2 que guardo em função
A função do WeatherDuino será um estudo comparativo com o meu VP2 e uma função agricultura.
To study my project, I will like to have some information.
Para estudar o meu projeto, gostarei de ter cerca de informações.

1/ Which is the range reality of transmission between the RX+ and the TX?
    Qual é o alcance real de transmissão entre o RX+ e o TX?

2/ How much module TX can manage a RX+?
    Quantos módulo TX podem gerir um RX+?
    1RX+ +1, 2, 3, 4 TX?

3/ Can a module RX+ manage several information (for example T°/HUM) coming from several TX?
    Um módulo RX+ sabe gerir vários informação (por exemplo T°/HUM) que vem de vários TX?

4/ Who has already to try successfully to feed a module TX into solar/battery? I would like that modules TX are 100% autonomous.
    Quem tem já tentar com sucesso alimentar um módulo TX solar/battery? Quereria que os módulos TX são 100% autónomos.


Thank you, obrigado

Hello,

So excuse to me for you my questions are… I am not certain.
Is the voltage of the TX and RX+ well 9v?
I did not find on the forum (I have perhaps badly to seek) a photograph of the PCB assembled like the photographs of the PCB not assembled.
That will help me to locate me.

Thank you.

There are several topics on the forum with the answers to all these questions, however here is a quick reply:

1- As with almost all RF signals, the range varies with several factors. Line of sight, number of concrete walls between transmitter and receiver, local conditions, etc. Usually ranges from 20 to 70 meters aren't a problem.

2) Each Receiver can receive data from up to four transmitter units (some restrictions may apply to the fourth unit)

3) Yes

4) Many of us, including me. There are some topics dedicated to this matter, try do a search by "solar power" or search for topics from the user hvalentim, he did interesting studies on this matter.

12V for the TX unit
7.5V to 9V (max) for the RX unit (Pro2 PLUS)

Hello,

Thank you for your answer, that helps me.
I control English very badly, with the use of a translator it is not always right.

Good Sunday

Hello everyone,

The project is on the way, I start with a RX+/TX/AQI.
Paulo (meteocaldas) joined me with the same starting configuration.

So of other Portuguese is interested… it is the moment!
(Sorry for the other people - > shipping costs doubles)
With the offer of WERK_AG RX+/TX/AQI for 72.60€ and we will make each order of components to reduce the costs together.

To test the assemblies before a complete configuration, I have a probe T°/HUM and a pluviometer DAVIS,
which I can make turn for the tests.

Good day

Hello,

I would like to have an opinion / advice.
I plan to mount the RTC / RX-TX / Barometric / I2C T ° modules with rails (2nd photo).
I find this solution easier to organize and troubleshoot in the future.
In this picture of the assembly, they are mounted directly on the PCB.
My question: the rails will disrupt the quality of the connection?
Good or bad solution?

Thank you

If using Molex or a reputable brand of connector then they should be fine. A lot of us are already using them.

As a side note in the 2 picture we call those "male header pins" and the part that connects to them "female header plugs". That said they could even be called something else in other English speaking countries, especially America where for some unknown reason they really messed with the English language

On this picture only the RX and TX modules are mounted directly on the PCB, the RTC and ATM modules are inserted in female headers.

In America we refer to them by the same names you used.
