My GRE preparation started from 8.21, and the first test was 8.28 (scores not submitted). It is expected to be completed by the end of September. The goal is 155+170W3.5. The total process lasts one and a half months. This article explains the contradictions and methodologies that were extracted during my GRE preparation process.

Test preparation positioning

My main purpose of preparing for the GRE is to effectively improve my English vocabulary and paper reading level (speed) with the help of the GRE preparation process. At the same time, this test preparation process will also become an effective test of Tomato Proj, providing an experience reference for the realization of an orderly and harmonious life rhythm in the future. In addition, GRE scores are also required to apply to some American schools.

Test preparation contradiction analysis

deficiency of time

Since I invested a lot of time during the summer vacation, preparing application materials, learning and accumulating professional knowledge, and preparing for FYP, I only left about 1 month to prepare for GRE. Therefore, the problem of insufficient time needs to be compensated by methodological refinement.

Mathematical contradiction analysis

Skip mechanism

The key to GRE mathematics is relatively easy for our managers who have passed the science college entrance examination to adjust their expectations to about 170 through a certain amount of exercise review. But this does not mean that GRE math can be taken lightly. When preparing for the GRE math test, in addition to raising expectations, it is more important to reduce variance. Considering that GRE mathematics is relatively tight in design time, only 35 minutes, and there may be some difficult or unintelligible questions, then you must skip it decisively and stop the loss in time. Therefore, in the preparation process of mathematics, it is necessary to form a judging mechanism for judging whether to skip, and the less time-consuming judgment, the better.

Question type analysis mechanism

In the preparation process of mathematics, in addition to reducing variance, we must also effectively raise expectations. Unlike the college entrance examination, the language of GRE math is English, and there are a series of logical traps. Therefore, in order to increase the expectation of GRE mathematics, the following three points need to be “programmed” to refine the corresponding methodology.

• Common English for Mathematics
• Various problem solving methods
• Method of choosing method

Error checking mechanism

Although the time for the GRE math test is limited, it does not rule out the possibility that time will be left. Therefore, you can pay attention to exercise a set of mechanisms that are conducive to using the remaining time error. For example, rationally plan the use of cursive paper.

Reading contradiction analysis

Read it again

Through the training of the past few days, I have discovered a phenomenon, and if I did not understand the article at the beginning, then I basically rely on misunderstanding to do the questions later. Therefore, GRE reading must first understand the article. To achieve this, the s3 version of the sentence can be refined, and the content of the next sentence can be pre-judged through the intermediate relational connectives, so as to recurse.

Migrated blog from Typecho to Hexo.

After reading Chairman Mao’s theory of practice and contradiction, it was the first time to systematically come into contact with the methodology of dialectical materialism, and I deeply felt its power and nature. Combining my own previous experience and understanding, I refined the view of cognitive derivation.

Preface

From Pavlov’s dog bell experiment[1] to Festinger’s cognitive dissonance theory in the 1950s[2], to the Stanford prison experiment led by Professor Zimbardo in 1971[3], this A series of psychology students’ physical experiments that broke expectations reveals step by step that the role of people’s psychology does not seem to be what most people think. In fact, this seemingly important psychological discovery was actually put forward by Marx, Engels and others from a sociological point of view two centuries ago and perfected it into a theory. Later, Lenin, Stalin and others improved it through practice. After being introduced to China, it was collected by Mao Zedong, combined with the heritage of Chinese traditional culture, and developed into Mao Zedong’s thought of materialist dialectics. The formation of this theory stems from these people’s summary of the social phenomena they observe and the social movements they practice based on the theory. And this reasoning guided the founding of the Communist Party of China and solidly completed the miracle of domestic capital accumulation.

Dialectical materialism is a set of self-consistent methodology, which can effectively guide our life practice, conclude the theory from practice, and then apply the theory to the process of practice. The efficient operation of this cycle is precisely the ultimate meaning of human cognition.

in conclusion

Methodology is a very effective and important tool. It provides people with a set of paradigms (habits) to help people practice the model of “social practice -> knowledge -> theory -> social practice” more effectively.

Before I went to Europe for a tourist visa, I had to buy a traveler’s cheque as a proof of funds because I did not have a three-month bank flow. However, when I arrived in Europe, I found that traveler’s cheques were difficult to use. If I didn’t understand the market, I would be defrauded of 15%-20% handling fees. This blog records the pits and Tips we found in redeeming traveler’s checks!

[scode type=”info”]Experience One: Do not use traveler’s checks if possible[/scode]
[scode type=”info”]Experience Two: The minimum handling fee for travel exchange is around 4%[/scode]

If you don’t want to see the experience, you can directly transfer to the Tips where you can redeem traveler’s cheques at the end of the article!

My experience

During the Christmas holiday, I went to Europe with my roommates and a group of four on a DIY trip to 5 cities in Italy and Austria. Since the UK bank card has not been used for three months, it is not possible to apply for a visa by printing the record, so we chose another method-buying American Express’s Euro traveler’s cheque. As everyone knows, exchanging and using traveler’s checks is really a big pit.

According to the official website of traveler’s cheques, traveler’s cheques can be used directly in shops in many European cities. In this way, it’s definitely more cost-effective to spend it when traveling than to exchange it back in British pounds after returning to the UK. The British pound process requires a loss of 8%). Ran goose, we found through reading other people’s travel notes before departure that many stores in Europe cannot directly spend traveler’s checks (according to our actual travel situation later, we only saw the traveler’s check logo in several stores in Venice), so we When I decided to go, I changed all of them to Euros at the Red Marked Change at the airport.

But after I found the red Change at the first stop in Rome (pictured), I found that 700 euros could only give us more than 590 euros. This is really not the slightest loss. My subject checked the phone number of American Express on the spot. I called it and found that there is no location in Italy, but the other party suggested to change to the bank, saying that there is no loss (note that this is also a pit,,,). Since two people have already exchanged them, in order to stop the loss, we decided not to exchange the 700 Euro traveler’s cheques of the remaining two people, and kept them to the bank for exchange.

On the third day, we went to the Vatican to play. By the way, we went to the bank recommended by the staff of American Express nearby. We also called the Bank of China, but we were all told not to accept travel. How can this be neat?

At this time, I just found a bunch of changes around the Vatican, so I asked for a quote again. One of them originally only reported more than 590, but we heard that the other offered us a student discount of more than 610, and then it was a good deal and reported a 640. This is great, we are beginning to discover the doorway inside: there are actually no discounts, but I want to find an excuse to attract you. These changes are all profitable. You give them your travel, and they sell them to American Express elsewhere. There may be a little tax in the middle, but as long as they charge you at a lower price than the tax deducted If you buy it here, he will definitely make a profit (generally, he will make a lot of money), but it’s just the difference between earning more and less. And there are several changes in the local area. We mainly found the one with red change and the one with blue. If this family thinks that you are demanding and unacceptable, then the money will be made by others.

Therefore, at this time, if we want to get a higher offer, we have to pinpoint what is acceptable to others (it’s really too cruel to cut off people’s wealth, then it’s okay), and then let them have a sense of crisis. Increase the offer. You can ask a few companies first to see how much they generally give, and then tell him how much other companies give me a price. Next, this person may start to call the above to see what a higher price can be offered, and after a bunch of them, they will give you a slightly higher price. Haha, if you are not satisfied, you can ask another one. Ask (but be careful, if it is a different store in the same store, be careful, after all, there may be one person above them, maybe I will remember you). Generally speaking, if you say that the tax may be two or three percent, then you still have to earn a 20 or 30 pounds. (Of course, you can try to chop and chop again, but it may be more difficult. Big).

So our last two transactions were 640 Euros and 645 Euros respectively (645 Euros were replaced by a similar method).

Tips

• There are not too many places in Italy for travel and consumption. Among the Rome, Florence, and Venice we go to, there are only a few in Venice;
• If you want to exchange for Euro travel in Italy, you can only change it at the place marked with the change sign (Of course, some changes do not accept travel, but very few). There should be no direct exchange points for American Express, at least in Italy, so there is no way to exchange them without loss. But there are indeed many changes in Italy, especially near the Vatican;
• Don’t meet a family, if he quotes a very low price, you will accept it, and don’t believe him too much. You must know that this is probably because you don’t know the inside story;
• You can ask two families first to find out the situation. A rough estimate. If the tax may be two or three percent, then you still have to make people earn 20 or 30 pounds. First ask them for their quotation. You can say that the price is given to you by another family. Ask if they can give you a higher price. Of course, if you have a thin skin and are embarrassed to talk nonsense, you can just give them the price of this one when the price is lower than that of others.

to sum up

The above is all the personal experiences and small tips about the exchange of travel expenses. Of course, these are just some things summarized based on our personal experience, we still need to analyze the specific situation. If you want to go out and play, you still want to walk around more to see how you feel. Therefore, it is not recommended that you waste too much time on this matter when economic conditions permit, as long as you feel that it is almost acceptable. Finally, I still want to say that if you don’t need traveler’s checks to play in Italy, you should not use it. After all, it is really troublesome and there are pits everywhere!

I studied in the UK and shared with 4 roommates. In order to better control and monitor public expenditures and maintain the balance of public expenditures between each other, I designed and developed this ERP public expenditure planning system during the welcome Wednesday. I hope that this system will make life easier for the next year, reduce conflicts between everyone, and promote the sustainability of public expenditure projects full of happiness OωO

1. Function introduction

• Calculate the daily average weekly flow rate to visualize public expenditure
• The user declares a public expenditure and submits the invoice photo certificate
• Monitor the disequilibrium of expenditure among members, calculate the variance, and display it visually
• Compare spending this week and last week, and give the percentage increase or decrease
• When there is one person whose expenditure exceeds the average threshold, and there is at least one person whose expenditure is less than the average threshold, the two people will be emailed to generate an internal transaction
• When the recipient receives the money in the above example, he needs to go to the platform to confirm receipt
• All historical public expenditures and invoices on the platform can be checked

2. System Architecture

2.1 Frontend

The front end is based on a Bitcoin website platform template found on the Internet, and a deep transformation is realized. It is worth mentioning that the front end uses Ushio-js project as a security and logging plug-in, and got Ushio The system does behind the scenes.

2.2 Backend

The backend is written in php language. Provides 5 interfaces, which respectively provide the functions of obtaining account events, obtaining internal circulation information, obtaining public expenditure information, obtaining weekly statements, and operating.

The mail system is quickly constructed using Yimian Mail API.

2.3 Database

The database uses yimian-db/mysql. Three tables are constructed, which are used to store flow, public expenditure details, and internal circulation.

2.4 Image upload

Based on Home Assisstant, build a smart home with integrated home lighting system, multimedia system and water flow system. Technical points: Tmall Genie interaction, LoRa communication, MQTT protocol, FRP intranet penetration, NAS storage, and toggle switch circuit transformation.

Combining the knowledge I have learned and using cutting-edge technology to benefit life has been my unremitting pursuit for a long time. In order to let my family experience a more stable, comfortable and intelligent lifestyle, and to consolidate the technical foundation and architecture experience accumulated in the school smartfarm project and my own ushio system, I decided to use 20 to 23 before going abroad. All day long, reconstruct the old IoT system at home. Adopt a layered architecture and interface-oriented, test-oriented, and document-oriented development principles, with Available and Reliable as the highest priority indicators to build an operational target 3. A highly modular, easy-to-remote control, open source home software and hardware intelligent sensor control system for more than years.

0 Architecture overview

1 Hardware Design

1.1 Single Chip Microcomputer Material Selection

Use Arduino UNO as the calculation unit. On the one hand, Arduino Uno has high reliability. My previous smart curtain system used Arduino Uno as the main control board, and it ran smoothly for one and a half years without hardware problems. On the other hand, Arduino Uno has a larger RAM, so there is no need to bother to program the microcontroller in order to compete for RAM.

The main disadvantage of Arduino UNO is its high price, but this cost is necessary to ensure long-term stable operation.

1.2 WiFi communication module selection

Use ESP-01 as the WiFi communication module. The main reason is that the ESP-01 has been used to build a remote control car in the previous school courses, and I have a better understanding of its working methods and performance to reduce development costs.

1.3 LoRa communication module selection

Use Anxinke LORA RA-02 LORA as the communication module between LoRa node and LoRa gateway. The reason is that this module is used in the surf project, so I understand it better.

1.4 Smart speaker selection

As the most important interface for human-computer interaction in this Internet of Things system, smart speakers play a pivotal role. After research, I use Tmall Elf Sugar R as a home smart speaker. On the one hand, the price/performance ratio of Tmall Genie is very cheap. Second, unlike Xiaomi’s development of Xiao Ai, the purpose of Ali’s development of Tmall Genie is to provide a platform that allows developers to access its network in various forms, which is very important to me.

1.5 Light toggle switch

Initial idea: one-way control + reset device.
Actual realization: The original single-opening is transformed into double-opening, one is connected in series with the relay, and the other is connected with two pin ports.

2 Communication Design

Two communication modes of WiFi+LoRa are adopted. In scenarios that require high-speed and high-quality communication, such as Tmall Genie, mobile phones, and notebooks, use WiFi as a means of communication. In places where the WiFi signal is unstable, use LoRa for communication. Use MQTT as the application layer protocol.

3 Main control system design

Use the python3 open source project Home Assistant as the basis to build the main control system of this project.

4 Multimedia system design

Multimedia is mainly provided by Tmall Genie. In addition, through the Xiaomi box, the video, pictures, and music in the home network disk can be played on the TV and stereo.

5 Cloud support system design

dns.yimian.xyz provides dns resolution service.

6 NAS storage system design

By mounting the idle 500G mechanical hard disk removed from the old computer to the old IBM server, the storage system is built.
In the local area network, since the home is a win system, smb is used as a sharing protocol to realize file transfer and supports mounting in the local area network. The speed is stable, and the whole network reads and writes about 10MB/s. Access to the external network is realized through http and frp reverse generation, but the speed is slow.

2020.6 update

RNN realizes light control

Based on the previously accumulated human sensor data, the LSTM model is used to train the neural network using keras to realize the prediction of the light state.

This article introduces in detail the design ideas, implementation status and defect reflections of the SmartFarming Proj IoT architecture of XJTLU University’s 2019 summer scientific research.

1 Background

1.1 Requirements

In order to explore the feasibility of agricultural Internet of Things technology, instructor Alam Mohammed hopes that we can provide a Available and Reliable Internet of Things system to realize intelligent monitoring and management of farmland. This system will be able to timely detect the parameters related to plant health in the soil and the air, process and store these data (proposed by Alam). At the same time, the automatic control irrigation function (proposed by Caleb) and some data display methods (optional requirements proposed by Alam) are also expected to be provided by this system.

1.2 Positioning

As it is a small scientific research project designed for the agricultural Internet of Things, the goal of the project is to explore the feasibility of the agricultural Internet of Things, and the vision is to simulate the most common small-scale agricultural Internet of Things application scenarios. Therefore, the positioning of this architecture is applicable to most small agricultural IoT projects with sensing, control and display functions.

2 Glossary

• MQTT: MQTT Message Queuing Telemetry Transport is a message protocol based on the publish/subscribe paradigm under the ISO standard (ISO/IEC PRF 20922). It works on the TCP/IP protocol suite and is a publish/subscribe message protocol designed for remote devices with low hardware performance and poor network conditions [1].

• LoRa: LoRa is an emerging technology in the current market, which operates in the public frequency band below 1 GHz for long-distance low-power communication [2].

3 Design goals

3.1 Implementing functions

The functional requirements of this architecture mainly include land data collection, weather data collection, irrigation system control, interaction with the drone group system, web console (can view real-time and historical sensor data, index data; be able to control the system).

3.2 Performance indicators

• Communication range (test): the radius is not less than 1km
• Communication range (production): the radius is not less than 3km
• Delay: average less than 1s
• Timeout rate: no more than 5%
• Resource occupation: Node RAM does not exceed 2k
• Run cycle: 1 minute (test) | 15 minutes (production)

4 System Environment

4.1 Related software and hardware

4.2 Data size estimation

According to the production scenario, a data set is generated every 15 minutes, and a data set occupies about 253-291 bytes. According to 291 calculation, 27.93KB of data will be added every day.

5 Design Ideas

5.1 Idea

• Document-oriented
• Interface-oriented
• Test-oriented

5.2 Key Issues

• Land node RAM resources are scarce, only 2K
• LoRa communication adopts 433MHz, single-channel transceiving, much interference
• The server needs to collect and aggregate hash data from multiple nodes
• Reserve a method of interaction with the drone AI team
• Push real-time messages to the front-end browser

5.3 Scheme selection

In order to prioritize to ensure the stability and scalability of communication and services, we select layered model as the design mode of the architecture. The entire system is divided into multiple levels, with necessary interactions between levels. Each level runs independently, restarts quickly when it crashes, and has a high degree of reliability.

In terms of safety, the method of internal and external network isolation is adopted. Taking into account the scarcity of computing resources of some devices in the intranet, the interaction with the intranet server adopts an unencrypted communication mode. The intranet server interacts with the cloud server through SSL encryption. To ensure the security of the client’s data, the cloud server API only accepts HTTP and WebSocket requests with SSL encryption.

6 Architecture Design

6.1 Basic introduction

The main purpose of this architecture is to provide a stable (Available) and reliable Internet of Things system, which collects real-time data in farmland, combines pictures collected by drones and judged by CNN Plant health, realize intelligent management of irrigation system and plant health. This framework is theoretically suitable for most farm environments. The test environment is within a radius of 2~5km (depending on the antenna), and the wind is below level 3. This system acquires farmland data through sensors, controls the irrigation system through transistor circuits, relays, etc., and interacts with managers through web pages and APIs.

6.2 System hierarchy diagram

This figure shows the abstract hierarchy of this architecture. As pointed out, this layered architecture can be clearly defined as the perception layer, network layer, application layer, three horizontal operation layers, and a vertical error handling layer.

Among them, the perception layer can be further refined into environment layer and hardware layer. The environment layer contains plants, soil, air, water and other natural objects that we want to detect and control. The hardware layer provides the underlying technology for the system’s interactive behavior (detection, control) of natural elements through artificial electrical devices such as sensors and controllers. Sex. When the perception layer realizes the interaction of natural information, the corresponding digital information is transmitted to the network layer for communication. Correspondingly, the perception layer will also receive corresponding control information from the network layer, and make corresponding control actions according to these instructions.

Network layer is divided into three layers. The lowest layer is the preprocessing layer. Its main task is to package the data collected by the perception layer and transform it into a form suitable for network circulation, such as sockets. Therefore, the pre-processing layer requires a small amount of computing storage resources, such as a single-chip microcomputer, EEPROM, etc. After encapsulation by the preprocessing layer, the data is transmitted to the physical layer. Based on devices such as gateways and routers in the physical layer, these data packets can be distributed and transmitted in an orderly manner. The application of the MQTT protocol in the communication layer makes the management of these data packet distribution more efficient and convenient. In addition, the implementation of the QoS service quality detection system in the communication layer also makes the performance of the network layer more fault-tolerant and reliable.

Application layer is mainly responsible for some application-level services for business logic, such as data analysis, event processing, etc. At the bottom of the application layer, the service layer is running for a long time. The service layer is the closest part of the application layer to the network layer. Its main purpose is to process the incoming data from the network layer in real time and respond quickly to corresponding requests and error events. At the same time, the service layer is also responsible for sorting and analyzing the data collected by the sensors and passing it to the database layer for storage. In order to ensure the reliability of the service, the implementation program of the service layer is registered as a system service and guarded by a special daemon. Unlike the long-term operation of the service layer, the business layer is invoked on demand. When a new request comes in from the interface layer or a specific event occurs in the service layer, the business layer will be called and processed. In addition to some basic data analysis, the business layer also has the authority to make analysis requests to the AI ​​layer. AI layer After analyzing the image data returned from the drone, it will send back a judgment result to the business layer. According to the specific content of the request, the business layer will organize the image recognition results, historical sensor data, etc., and pass them to the interface layer. Interface layer is mainly used to provide different forms of interfaces, such as HTTP interface and WebSocket interface, to facilitate client calls.

6.3 System Topology Diagram

From the topological structure, as shown in the figure above, the entire system can be physically divided into land nodes, weather nodes, LoRa gateways, intranet servers, cloud servers, databases and user terminals.

From the perspective of functional mechanism, the entire system includes: sensor module, LoRa communication module, LoRa gateway module, MQTT-Proxy proxy module, water pump control module, MQTT+ data processing module, web interface module, daemon module and database module.

Land Node
Land nodes are deployed in farmland in different regions to detect soil temperature and humidity parameters, and can provide control of water flow solenoid valves at corresponding locations. The land node uses Arduino Nano as the computing unit, uses LoRa as the communication method to connect to the LoRa gateway (and other nodes), and uses battery power. Its large number, harsh working environment and unstable wireless communication are the biggest source of uncertainty in the system.

Weather Node
Meteorological nodes are deployed at specific locations in farmland to detect meteorological parameters such as air temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, rainfall, light, NH3 concentration, and CO concentration. The weather node uses Arduino Nano as the computing unit, uses LoRa as the communication method to connect to the LoRa gateway (and the land node), and uses battery or wired power. The working environment is harsh and the wireless communication quality is average.

LoRa Gateway
The LoRa gateway is deployed indoors. In order to expand the effective communication radius, its antenna can be extended outdoors. The LoRa gateway connects to various land nodes and weather nodes through LoRa, and connects to the intranet server through WiFi. The LoRa gateway can convert the socket packet incoming through LoRa into an mqtt message and pass it to the intranet server, and convert the mqtt message from the intranet server into a socket packet and send it to the designated node through LoRa.

Intranet server
The intranet server is a Raspberry Pi 3B, which contains three functional modules: MQTT-Proxy proxy module, water pump control module and daemon process module.

MQTT-Proxy proxy module can receive the mqtt message sent by the LoRa gateway via WiFi, encrypt it with SSL and forward it to the cloud server. At the same time, the MQTT-Proxy proxy module will also accept the specified mqtt message from the cloud server, decrypt it and forward it to the LoRa gateway.

Water pump control module The state of the water pump is controlled through a relay through the GPIO of the Raspberry Pi. The mqtt communication with the water pump control module directly communicates with the cloud server without passing through the MQTT-Proxy proxy.

Daemon module runs on Linux and is used to monitor the MQTT-Proxy proxy module and the water pump control module. When modules are detected to stop running, the daemon module will restart these modules in time to ensure the stability and continuity of services.

Cloud Server
The cloud server runs on Huawei Cloud located in Beijing and includes MQTT+ data processing module, web interface module and daemon module.

MQTT+data processing module includes the Service layer and the Business layer in the hierarchical structure. This module communicates with the intranet through mqtt, and interacts with the web interface module (and AI module) through mqtt and redis. After receiving various hashed data from the intranet, this module will automatically aggregate them, organize them into one piece of data, store it in the database, and push it to the web interface module through redis. In addition, this module will periodically send requests to each node to obtain their data, and these requests will be tracked to calculate the delay.

web interface module provides a series of HTTP and WebSocket interfaces. These interfaces can be used to get data, send instructions, refresh data, and get push messages.

Daemon module runs on Linux and is used to monitor MQTT+ data processing module and web interface module. When modules are detected to stop running, the daemon module will restart these modules in time to ensure the stability and continuity of services.

7 Module description

7.1 LoRa communication module

The LoRa communication module is used to realize stable and reliable socket communication in a single channel. This module includes LoRa-socket and LoRa-mqtt.

LoRa-socket encapsulates data packets on the basis of LoRa-Arduino, realizes simple udp and tcp communication, and makes traditional LoRa communication more reliable. By adding the sending and receiving ip address to the head of the data packet, and adding the hash check value at the end of the data packet, LoRa-socket supports point-to-point communication and broadcast communication, and has powerful noise processing capabilities and data tamper resistance.
Project address: iotcat/LoRa-socket

LoRa-mqtt is a simple reproduction of the mqtt protocol based on LoRa-socket. Based on udp and tcp, LoRa-mqtt supports mqtt communication with qos 0 and 1.

Recently, I have used Arduino to build LoRa gateways and nodes in the development of the Internet of Things, and I found that some strange phenomena are always encountered when calling String. After investigation, it was found that it was caused by overloading of the []= operator elsewhere.

For convenience, we used LoRa-Socket and ArduinoJSON as dependencies when developing nodes. We found that these two dependencies perform well when used separately, but if used in the same project file, it will cause some weird problems.

Situation One

When calling a function through a pointer, the String parameter passing is abnormal. code show as below:

1
2
3

inline static void _onReceived(const String& msg, const String& from, const String& to, const String& type){
    (*_f)(msg, from, to, type);
};

In this case, we found that the value of msg and other String in this function is all normal, but it was not successfully passed to _f. After a series of Sao operations, we come to the following conclusions:

• Found that if you change String to int or other types, the parameters passed to _f are all normal. Only the String and char types are problematic.
• We tried to convert String to other types, and then back, but to no avail.
• The declaration of global variables of type String or char will crash the microcontroller.
• When we delete the ArduinoJSON dependency, the passing of String parameters is normal.

We can conclude that this strange phenomenon is caused by the conflict with the ArduinoJSON package.

Situation Two

When using ArduinoVector to make a String type Vector, we also discovered the instability of the String type. The magic is that this phenomenon only occurs in the use of String, other types such as int work well.

These instabilities can be summarized as follows:

• Truncated during assignment
• String values ​​are locally out of order
• Part of the String value is garbled
• It will fail when passed as a parameter to the function, and it will be empty (similar to case 1)

Summary

Through the above two cases, we can preliminarily conclude that this is due to the conflict between the overload of the []= assignment operator and String. As long as you use []= to redefine String, string weird problems may occur.

The Internet of Things system based on NodeJS, combined with D1 MINI microcontroller, helps you quickly realize the Internet of Things~

Quick Start

Current Support devices

• D1 MINI

Node.js Install Node.js

Node.js is a widely used programming language for web developers. To make use of wIoT, you should first install Node.js to your computer.

For windows user, you can follow the instruction in this website

Install wIoT package

After install Node.js and configure npm successfully, you should then use npm to download wIoT package by enter following command in your command window.

1

npm install wiot

Windows user can use cmd or powershell.It should be notice that this may report error for some users. The solution is to open your cmd window as administrator. You can right click on cmd and choose run as an administrator. You can also press windows+R and input cmd then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to open it as administrator.

Burn firmware

Connect your device to D1 MINI

• After burning the firmware, you should try to connect your device to D1 MINI
  Follow the steps below, I’m sure it would not be a problem for such a smart person like you

1. Reset your D1 MINI

• Find pin D0 on your D1 MINI, it should be in the middle of A0 and D5.
• Use a wire to connect 3V3 to D0. If your MINI works normally, you would see its BUILT-IN LED blink.
• You don’t have to wait until it stops blink, just stay for 2s, then you can pull out the wire and your MINI would reset.

2.Find your D1 MINI on your device

• After you finish step 1, your MINI would work in AP mode, which means you can search it with your smart phone or personal computer by scanning the Wi-Fi around
• If your MINI was reset successfully, you would find a Wi-Fi with SSID in the form of wiot-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
  Example:
  
  “xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx” is the MAC address of this MINI, please try to remember the address for you may use it later

The default password for D1 MINI is 1234567890, enter the password and you should be able to connect to your MINI.

Connect D1 MINI to your Wi-Fi

Congratulations, you have successfully connect your device to D1 MINI
However, this is not the end, you should now try to connect D1 MINI to your Wi-Fi
Use the device which had just been connected to D1 MINI and follow the steps below

1. Visit the control page of D1 MINI

Visit http://192.168.0.1 with the browser on your device
Normally, you would see a webpage like this:

In this page, you can see the MAC Address and wIoT version of your MINI
Again, please remember the MAC Address

2.Submit SSID and password to your MINI

From the page, you can see two blanks that ask the SSID and password of your Wi-Fi
Input information of the Wi-FI which you would like to connect your MINI, click Submit
If you have input the right SSID and password, you will see a page showing the message: Set Successfully!! Rebooting!!
Then, after a minute, you will see the SSID of D1 MINI has vanished

If you submitted the wrong message, do not try to directly reconnect to D1 MINI. Restart the whole procedure from the reset part of the last section

Execute Example Code

If you have successfully connect D1 MINI to your Wi-Fi, you can execute the example code below to realize a simple function of wIoT
Before executing the code, you should first connect a LED to D1 MINI with positive pole connect to pin D4 and negative pole connect to GND

var wiot = require('wiot'); //Import wiot package from npm

// Create an object of single chip
// Here are two parameters, MAC is the MAC adress of single chip, the output port should be defined in pin
// The MAC address should be editted by user
var MyMCU = new wiot.client({MAC: "3C:71:BF:3A:F6:CF", pin: {D4 : 1}, hint : true});


// The following code can let the BUILTIN_LED turn on for one second and off for one second periodically

// Wait for all the chips to get ready
wiot.begin([MyMCU], ()=>{ 
    // First parameter is the name of chip, second parameter is the function that is going to be executed

    // Set timer, pin 3 of MyMCU will pull up every 2 seconds
    setInterval(()=>{
        MyMCU.write(wiot.D4, wiot.HIGH);
    }, 2000);

    // Set timer, executer the command in {} after a one-second delay
    setTimeout(()=>{

    // Set timer, pin 3 of MyMCU will pull down every 2 seconds
        setInterval(()=>{
            MyMCU.write(wiot.D4, wiot.LOW);
        }, 2000);
    }, 1000);
});

The LED is expected to blink after you execute the code
