 Beehive monitoring project with LoRa / P-NUCLEO-LRWAN1 (STM32L073RZ)
 
+This is an experimental student project focused on learning how to use LoRa. It captures some environmental properites, samples audio and computes its frequency spectrum. Then the principal peaks of the spectrum are detected and reported together with the other information to a LoRa gateway. Those packets can be captured using a Node-RED MQTT flow to a file.
