Simple IP based intercom device voice communication protocol

I like to know , which voice communication protocol helps me to setup and make voice communication between IP based intercom device. Things to be considered - zero configuration -automatically stream audio -con call option...
Solution:
The other thing to look at would be gstreamer - you could use that to encode the audio and then send it over the network to the receiver.

use MAX485 TTL to RS485 Converter Module with esp32 to get convert value of rs485 output to serial

need help related to using - use MAX485 TTL to RS485 Converter Module with esp32 to get convert value of rs485 output to serial and print it on serial port
Solution:
I guess you'll find the details about addressing scheme or the format of the data packets, including how to address specific devices (slaves) on the bus. So that you can write code for esp32 to read flow meter data.

how do I use the requests library to send data to an HTTP endpoint in MicroPython on an ESP8266?

Hello guys, how do I use the requests library to send data to an HTTP endpoint in MicroPython on an ESP8266? My code fails to connect. Here's the code: ```python import requests ...
Solution:
Shouldn't that be
response = request.post('http://example.com/data', data={'sensor': 'value'})
response = request.post('http://example.com/data', data={'sensor': 'value'})
i.e. data instead of json...

Is the Built-In TCP/IP Stack in GPRS Modules Redundant for Embedded Linux, or Are There Benefits?

Good day everyone, I'm exploring GPRS modules for embedded Linux. Many vendors offer modules with built-in TCP/IP stacks. Since embedded Linux usually has its own TCP/IP stack and uses PPP for cellular connections, is this embedded modem stack redundant, or are there use cases where it's beneficial? @Middleware & OS
Solution:
It's mainly redundant. It's done for MCUs

How can I reduce the energy consumption of WiFi and MQTT?

Hello guys , I'm working on developing an IoT temperature and humidity sensor for my cellar. I'm using NodeMCU ESP8266. I'm sending the information to an MQTT broker. The battery (18650 3.7V 19800mAh Li-ion rechargeable lithium batteries) Lasted only 1 day 😂. How can I reduce the energy consumption of WiFi and MQTT? Is there a way to achieve low power consumption? Thank you....
Solution:
WiFi is a massive power drain. You may want to investigate something like LoRa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoRa which has a long range and lower power consumption.

implementing secure authentication on edge impulse

Hey guys, @IoT Cloud so lately I have been working with Edge Impulse , but I'm having trouble implementing secure authentication with the Edge Impulse SDK in Python. I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 as the hardware and MQTT as the communication protocol, but l've tried various configurations and I'm still getting authentication errors. Can someone please share their expertise on how to resolve this issue and ensure secure communication with the Edge Impulse platform?
Solution:
Check your credentials, authentication method, MQTT topic, and payload format. Ensure everything matches the expected format. If issues persist, reach out to Edge Impulse's support.

Implementing real-time communication with MQTT

Hey guys am Implementing a real-time communication between IoT devices using the MQTT protocol. I'm working on the embedded software written in C++. The devices will act as both a publishers and subscribers, I'm using ESP32 platform, What are some key steps or considerations for implementing real-time communication with MQTT in this environment, are there any required C++ libraries for working with MQTT on embedded platforms? @Middleware & OS...
Solution:
1. Choose an MQTT library 2. Set up Wi-Fi connectivity 3. Configure an MQTT broker 4. Implement publisher and subscriber logic 5. Handle connections and disconnections...

Establish a secure MQTT connection to a broker using TLS on an ESP32

@Middleware & OS Hello everyone, I have a code that I'm trying to use to establish a secure MQTT connection to a broker using TLS on an ESP32. However, I keep getting an undefined error when calling espClient.setCACert(test_root_ca). In order to fix this error, I need to generate a CA certificate using
openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -key ca.key -out ca.crt
openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -key ca.key -out ca.crt
...
Solution:
@Boss lady your code looks correct to me and should run perfectly well without any issues once all required parameters are field, just in case this is what it looked like once I tried it out ```cpp #include <WiFi.h> #include <WiFiClientSecure.h> ...

interested in learning about constraint gauges

Hi @aymen ammari , I'd be interested in learning about constraint gauges and how they might be better suited for detecting millimeter-scale bends.

facing issues reading data from the SIM800 module

Good day devs, I tried integrating a SIM800 module with FreeRTOS for a small start up. I plan to use HAL_UART functions with a timeout mechanism for UART communication, but I'm concerned about later on interference with the FreeRTOS scheduler. Please and please I need guidance on implementing the timeout functionality without disrupting the scheduler. I'm facing issues reading data from the SIM800 module. But I've declared a buffer and attempted to print its contents using printf(ReadBuffer), nothing is displayed. How can I correctly read and process the received data? I don't know if I should use TCP/IP to connect the SIM800 module to a server. ```...

I'm building an IoT device with secure communication (TLS) but want to add extra security

I'm building an IoT device with secure communication (TLS) but want to add extra security with device authentication. I use tokens and TI's tm4c129encpdt, cc3100, and TI RTOS. Are there standard authentication methods to assure clients of secure communication and device identity?

What is the max date bit rate transmission using Lora Wan ?

What is the max date bit rate transmission using Lora Wan ?
Solution:
Yes, the low data rates enable the very long range. It's also important to note that, if you follow the specification, that the data rate isn't under your control, it adapts to the RF conditions. You can force certain data rates to fit your application, but then you will have range trade-offs and may give up full interoperability with other LoRaWAN devices (which may or may not be important to you).
