Each year on French National Day, beautiful fireworks are set off throughout the country. My dad is in charge of this responsability within his municipality. Setting up fireworks can be a big deal, very timeconsuming...meters of wires must be connected with each others.
One day, as we were preparing such an event, I told him : "What about creating a system (software AND hardware) to avoid unrolling all these cables...He answered me : I dare you !"
This is how this project is born...
Written in C#, kQuatre software aims at creating and firing fireworks automatically. No more cables, system is wireless (works thanks to LoRa technology).
Wanna realise your own firework receiver....
Here is a link to the datasheet : https://easyeda.com/fguiet/kquatre
- kQuatre software - Design your firework
- kQuatre software - Testing LoRa communication
- kQuatre software - real time fire work management console
- LoRa 868Mhz Arduino based transceiver and Arduino Mega based receiver
- Discovering what's inside...
- And deeper inside ...
As you can see, it quite simple...relays, LoRa draguino shield, 12v batteries ...
- In the field...
- kQuatre sofware ! ready to go !
