Decibel – LoRaWAN

dB ·        A decibel (dB) is a unit of measurement used to express the ratio of powers, sound pressures or other things on a logarithmic scale. ·        The decibel was invented by Bell Labs and named after Alexander Graham Bell. ·        In this tutorial the decibel is used to express the ratio of electrical powers (meaning Watts). A… Continue reading Decibel – LoRaWAN

Resizing an Image Using OpenCV

OpenCV (Open-Source Computer Vision Library) is a powerful tool for image processing and computer vision tasks. One common task is resizing images, which can be easily accomplished using OpenCV’s built-in functions. Here’s a step-by-step guide to resizing an image using OpenCV in Python. Installation Before you begin, ensure you have OpenCV installed. You can install… Continue reading Resizing an Image Using OpenCV

LoraWAN Classes

LoRaWAN Device Classes ·        The LoRaWAN specification defines three device classes. Class A ·        At any time an end node can broadcast a signal. After this uplink transmission (tx) the end node will listen for a response from the gateway. ·        The end node opens two receive slots at t1 and t2 seconds after an uplink transmission. The… Continue reading LoraWAN Classes

Comprehensive Guide to Using the Emboss Tool in Fusion 360

Introduction to the Emboss Tool The Emboss tool in Fusion 360 allowed users to raise or recess text, sketches, or patterns onto the surfaces of 3D models. This tool was particularly useful for adding labels, logos, or intricate designs to models. Step-by-Step Instructions Step 1: Preparing the Surface Opened Fusion 360: Launched Fusion 360 from… Continue reading Comprehensive Guide to Using the Emboss Tool in Fusion 360

Nullish Coalescing (??) Operator

WHAT? It is a new Logical operator meant for short-circuiting to handle default values. It returns it’s right-hand side operand when its left-hand side operand is null or undefined, otherwise returns its left-hand side operand. WHY? To assign some default values to the variable if it is null or undefined we use nullish coalescing. On the other hand, if we use logical OR(||)… Continue reading Nullish Coalescing (??) Operator
