An extremely simple project based on few components, so it can be easily replicated by users with less technical skills.

We build on our previous LoRa IoT weather sensor to run for a year on 2x AAA batteries. We'll look at the AVR ATmega328p datasheet to determine which registers we need to use to put the microcontroller to sleep, and we'll calculate how long we need to sleep before sampling the sensor again.

The SparkFun Qwiic adapter board is the perfect board to use if you need to make any old I2C board into a Qwiic enabled board.

The Qwiic Shield (for Arduino or Particle Photon) is the first step in getting acquainted with SparkFun’s Qwiic connect ecosystem. It connects the I2C bus (GND, 3.3V, SDA, and SCL) on your Arduino or Photon board to a series of SparkFun Qwiic connectors.
