## 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!
## Compiling
### 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.
Here is a [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clIlTEFbWLk&feature=emb_logo) tutorial in german language how to install the software.
