我正在尝试以低功耗模式从一个 ESP32 LoRa 节点传输到另一个节点并符合欧洲法规。

ESP32 开发板:TTGO LoRa32 OLED Board V1.0(此处此处)。


在我写的 LoRa 发件人草图下方:
/*
 * LoRa (low-power) sender for IoT projects
 *  
 * Tested on a TTGO LoRa32 OLED Board V1.0 
 * 
 * Based on the LoRa examples and the board 
 * documentation
 * 
 * More on the deep sleep with timer wake up: 
 *  
 *    Examples > ESP32 > Deep Sleep > TimerWakeUp sketch
 *    
 *    
 * ERC Recommendation
 * h1.4 frequency band requires <= 1% duty cycle and 25mW (14 db) maximum power
 * => 36 seconds every hour (so: 1 sec transmitting, 99 secs idle) 
 *

草图运行没有错误(商店页面上的代码包含一些错误,所以我鼓励你使用这个只是为了玩它)。我的问题:

  • 我忘了初始化 SPI 通信:

    SPI.begin (SCK, MISO, MOSI, SS);

    但无论如何,它还是奏效了。我没想到。我的第一个问题是:我错过了什么?

  • 我住在欧洲。ERC 建议文件说 h1.4 频段(我以 868 Mhz 传输)需要 <=1% 的占空比和 25mW (14db) 的最大功率。这意味着我可以每小时传输 36 秒(假设我传输 1 秒,然后 ESP32“睡眠”99 秒)。我可以实现这种写作(这不是更准确的方式,但它应该有效):

    #define TIME_TO_SLEEP 99

    erp呢?假设天线有 2db 增益,所以我可以将发射功率设置为 12db(12db + 2db -> 14db,太棒了。没关系!):

    LoRa.setTxPower(12);

  • 我的第二个问题:我是对的(关于两种设置)吗?我错过了什么吗?

  • 最后一个问题:请随时给我任何(如果你有)反馈/建议来改进这个草图!

看起来不错,你测试过深度睡眠时的功耗吗?我有同样的电路板(带 OLED 的 TTGO ESP32 LORA),清醒时获得约 38-50mA,睡眠时获得 10mA。您可以尝试在完成发送LoRa.end()LoRa.sleep()让芯片进入睡眠状态,但我不确定这样可以节省多少电量。

这里正在进行一些关于降低功率的进一步方法的讨论,但我无法将 TTGO 的电流降至 10mA 以下。

总的来说,我对 LilyGo 产品和低电流的体验不好。我测试了其中几个(不是 LoRa 的),通常它们至少消耗 1mA。我认为真正省电的传感器可以像这样由 Atmel LoRa 节点制成。

补充:仅供参考,我有测试设备(868MHz LoRa Radio Node V1.0),每小时发送一次 LoRa 消息,并且可以使用电池运行数月。现在3个多月后,电池电压下降约0.25V。

非常好,看起来和我的草图非常相似。我认为电池连接器使用的是低压降稳压器,但这仍会消耗毫安。我目前正在评估一种测试替代方案:您是否尝试过使用 GND/3V3 连接器直接为电路板供电?使用标准的 3.7V 锂聚合物电池和一些合适的肖特基二极管来产生约 0.2V 的电压降应该可以正常工作,即使在充满电池的情况下也能保持在 3.6V 以下。
