We’re back with an exciting new Elektor webinar about IoT for Vehicles and Sensors, streaming live on Thursday, August 14 at 16:00 CEST! This session showcases how vehicle diagnostics and long-range wireless IoT converge using embedded systems, from smart dashboards to ultra-low-power sensor nodes.

Whether you're a hands-on automotive tinkerer or a professional IoT engineer, you’ll learn how modern embedded platforms like the ESP32 can power both real-time vehicle data dashboards and LoRaWAN-based sensor deployments. Our in-house expert Saad Imtiaz will walk you through practical examples, design considerations, and optimization techniques drawn directly from the lab about  IoT for Vehicles and Sensors.

    Have you worked with OBD2?

    Meet the Presenters:
    Saad Imtiaz (Senior Engineer at Elektor) brings years of experience in mechatronics and embedded system design. In this live session, he’ll demo a functional OBD2 dashboard, built using an ESP32-S3 touch display and real ECU data, while also sharing insights into low-power LoRaWAN sensor node development.

    IoT for vehicules and Sensors

    What You’ll Discover During This Session about IoT for Vehicles and Sensors:

    • Building a real-time OBD2 dashboard with ESP32
    • How to connect to the car’s ECU via UART, CAN, and K-Line
    • Embedded design strategies for smart sensors
    • LoRaWAN communication in low-power applications
    • Open Q&A with Saad, bring your questions!


    This session is a must-attend for anyone working with real-time telemetry, embedded dashboards, or remote sensing infrastructure. Saad will demonstrate how everyday vehicles can become intelligent data platforms with just a few affordable components. You’ll also learn how LoRaWAN's ultra-low-power profile and long-range communication make it ideal for deploying environmental monitoring and asset tracking in industrial and remote settings.

    Whether you're looking to decode OBD-II protocols, design a touch-enabled interface, or optimize battery life on edge devices, this webinar bridges theory and practice. With live demos, design walkthroughs, and open Q&A, you’ll come away with actionable insights and hardware inspiration, straight from the Elektor Lab.

    GIVEAWAY ALERT!

    One lucky attendee will win an OBD-II CAN Bus Development Kit (value: €37.92), perfect for car diagnostics, data logging, and embedded prototyping with Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

    Don’t miss this chance to dive into real-world IoT, explore embedded tech for vehicles and sensors, and engage with the Elektor community.
