Assembled - RF.Guru LoRA APRS Tracker Automotive 433Mhz 512mW Power

Kit - RF.Guru LoRA APRS Tracker Automotive 433Mhz 512mW Power

PCB - RF.Guru LoRA APRS Tracker Automotive 433Mhz 512mW Power

Connect the device to our computer using a UBC-C cable; a drive labeled 'RPI-RP2' will appear.

Download the code

Copy the 'adafruit-circuitpython-raspberry_pi_pico-en_US-9.?.uf2' file to the drive and patiently wait for it to reboot!

Once it restarts, you should see a new drive named 'CIRCUITPY'

Transfer the library folder (src/lib), followed by the src/boot.py file. Adjust the settings in the src/config.py (modify call/settings) and transfer it to the 'CIRCUITPY' drive.

Finally, transfer the src/code.py file!

First install tio https://github.com/tio/tio

tio --auto-connect new

tio --auto-connect latest

tio /dev/tty....

Via the console ... press control-c and past this

import microcontroller
microcontroller.on_next_reset(microcontroller.RunMode.UF2)
microcontroller.reset()

Follow the installation procedure on top of this page !

As a last restort ! Open the device ... press the tiny reset button on the pcb and connect usb-c cable whilst pressing the reset button.

Follow the installation procedure on top of this page !

lib/adafruit_rfm9x.mpy is heavily modified to work with loraAPRS you can find the modifications here: https://github.com/Guru-RF/RF_Guru_RFM9x

lib/APRS.mpy: you can find the uber minimalistic APRS lib over here https://github.com/Guru-RF/circuitpython-APRS
