### Example 1: Basic Power Supply for a GPS Module using Arduino
In this example, we will use the Witty Fox 3.7V 2000 mAh Li-ion GPS Cylindrical Battery to power a GPS module connected to an Arduino board.
Witty Fox 3.7V 2000 mAh Li-ion GPS Cylindrical Battery
GPS Module (e.g., U-Blox NEO-6M)
Arduino Board (e.g., Arduino Uno)
Breadboard and jumper wires
```c++
#include <TinyGPS++.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#define GPS_RX 2
#define GPS_TX 3
TinyGPSPlus gps;
SoftwareSerial gpsSerial(GPS_RX, GPS_TX);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
gpsSerial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
while (gpsSerial.available() > 0) {
if (gps.encode(gpsSerial.read())) {
if (gps.location.isValid()) {
Serial.print("Latitude: ");
Serial.println(gps.location.lat(), 6);
Serial.print("Longitude: ");
Serial.println(gps.location.lng(), 6);
}
}
}
}
```
Description: This code uses the SoftwareSerial library to communicate with the GPS module, which is powered by the Witty Fox battery. The GPS module sends location data to the Arduino board, which is then printed to the serial console.
### Example 2: Powering a LoRaWAN Device using Raspberry Pi
In this example, we will use the Witty Fox 3.7V 2000 mAh Li-ion GPS Cylindrical Battery to power a LoRaWAN device connected to a Raspberry Pi.
Witty Fox 3.7V 2000 mAh Li-ion GPS Cylindrical Battery
LoRaWAN Device (e.g., RAK LoRaWAN Module)
Raspberry Pi (e.g., Raspberry Pi 4)
Breadboard and jumper wires
```python
import os
import time
from lora_rak import RAK_MODULE
# Initialize the LoRaWAN module
rak_module = RAK_MODULE()
while True:
# Read sensor data (e.g., temperature, humidity)
sensor_data = rak_module.get_sensor_data()
# Send data to LoRaWAN network
rak_module.send_data(sensor_data)
# Wait for 10 minutes before sending the next packet
time.sleep(600)
```
Description: This code uses the RAK LoRaWAN module, powered by the Witty Fox battery, to read sensor data and send it to a LoRaWAN network using a Raspberry Pi. The device will sleep for 10 minutes between data transmissions to conserve power.
Always follow proper safety precautions when working with lithium-ion batteries, including proper charging and storage procedures.
Ensure that your device's power consumption is within the battery's capacity to prevent over-discharge or damage to the battery.
Consult the datasheets for your specific GPS module and LoRaWAN device for specific power requirements and pinouts.
