## Supported boards
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can use one of the Lora32 boards:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* TTGO T-Beam V0.7 (433MHz SX1278)
|
|
|
|
|
* TTGO T-Beam V1 (433MHz SX1278)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This boards cost around 30 Euros, they are very cheap but perfect for an LoRa iGate.
|
|
|
|
|
Keep in minde: you need a 433MHz version!

### How to compile
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The best success is to use PlatformIO. Go to https://platformio.org/ and download the IDE. Just open the folder and you can compile the Firmware.
