LoRa GPS Tracker

摘要

LoRaWAN offers an interesting platform to track the location of objects. With the solution presented here, the geographical location of an item can be determined, transmitted via LoRaWAN and displayed on a separate computer. Thanks to the open source nature of the hardware and software, anyone who wants to can take a look behind the scenes and adapt parts of the project to meet their own needs,The complete data for the LoRa GPS Tracker project is available as a KiCad project on GitHub [10] and can be used under the OSHL V1.2 license. The software code and the Node-Red project to display the location can also be found on GitHub. In addition to its use as a GPS tracker, there are other applications for the Elektor LoRa node which we are already working on, but progress on this front has inevitably been slowed by the measures introduced to contain the spread of COVID19.
