LoRa APRS Tracker

Forked from https://github.com/lora-aprs/LoRa_APRS_Tracker, Peter, OE5BPA

The LoRa APRS Tracker will work with very cheep hardware which you can buy from amazon, ebay or aliexpress. Try it out and be part of the APRS network.

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!

Intention

I forked this version because of my intention to build a specialized tracker for my mobile home. It should collect data from some sensors, weather condition etc. and send it to the APRS-System in two ways: If no wifi is present, it should just send the Packet to 433 MHz. If a known wifi is present, it should try to send the packet via wifi to the APRS-System direct.
