Quantity | Component name | |
1 | × | Adafruit Feather LoRa M0 433Mhz Tracker - radio, microcontroller and charge/battery management |
1 | × | Adafruit Ultimate GPS Featherwing Tracker - GPS position source and timing source for pseudo-TDMA |
1 | × | 3.7v >1200mAh LiPo cell w/ JST connector. Tracker - power supply 1200mAh lasts around 24 hours with 20 second transmissions. Consider 1x18650@2200mAh |
1 | × | 433Mhz 1/4 wave antenna - u.Fl Tracker - rubber duck antenna for tracker. Consider SMA-u.Fl to increase buying options |
1 | × | u.Fl SMT Tracker - adds u.Fl connector to Feather LoRa M0 board |
1 | × | 433Mhz mag mount antenna Base Station - reception antenna - magmount makes it easy to take down and install but you might consider a tall pole with 5 element colinear for better range |
1 | × | Raspberry Pi 3 Base Station - map server, WiFi access point |
1 | × | Uputronics Hoperf RFM98 expansion board Base Station LoRa reception. Could use a bare RFM98 module for cost, but this is neat. https://store.uputronics.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=68 |
1 | × | UPSPico Raspberry Pi UPS (was MoPi power unit, but can't do desired UPS functions) |
1 | × | DS3231 RTC module Base Station Real-time clock source to set time on Pi at boot - otherwise position reports are wrong. Could use mobile device to set time but this works fine. https://thepihut.com/blogs/raspberry-pi-tutorials/17209332-adding-a-real-time-clock-to-your-raspberry-pi |
