LoRaMesh: a LoRa mesh network deployed in the Olympic Park, London to sense weather parameters

A dissertation for an MSc degree in Connected Environments at University College London, 2022/2023.

This project uses OpenThread in LoRa to sense humidity, temperate and light in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (QEOP), London. Sensor data is visualised via web dashboards and projected on a physical Olympic Park table using projection mechanism.

Repository Content Summary

  1. Assets

    This folder includes the 3D printed parts, namely Fusion360 project files and STLs for the enclosures and the 3D objects for the Data Table.

  2. Code

    Includes micro-controllers' code, Artificial Intelligence code and various assets used during development.

    • Lopy4

      The main Micro Python code for the Lopy4, which uses Open Thread for LoRa mesh.

    • Current Analysis

      Contains the code, schematic and results for the real-time current analysis circuit.

    • Heatmap

      Web page that visualises CSV data for LoRa heatmap in the Olympic Park.

    • VR Headset

      A web page built using A-Frame to visualise 360 videos of the QEOP on VR Headsets.

    • Data Table The data files projected on the physical map including the final calibrated Base Map.

  3. Datasets

    The final datasets as an outcome of this project. There is a detailed description available for each dataset.

  4. Docs

    This folder holds different kinds of documentation and images produced during project life time.

  5. PCB

    The electronic side of the project. This section contains Eagle files and CAM outputs sent to PCB manufacturers. Also, a CNC manufacturing tutorial is available.

  6. Server

    Docker Composer file for InfluxDB, Grafana and MQTT broker. Basically, all data acquisition is being managed by this Docker image.

  7. Experiments This section includes the multiple experiments done throughout the project.
