Cubecell_LoRa_APRS_Tracker

Cubecell GPS LoRa APRS Tracker

This Project is a fork of @peterus LoRa APRS ESP32 Tracker ported to the Heltec Cubecell GPS ASR650x CPU

The code has many parts of the CubeCell-GPS Helium Mapper

Supported boards

At this moment, only the Heltec CubeCell GPS is supported:

• Heltec CubeCell GPS-6502 (HTCC-AB02S)

This board cost around 25-30 Euros, a little bit cheaper and smaller than the widely used TTGO T-Beam.

Keep in mind: you need a 433MHz version!

Project State

First Goal was the Port to the ASR650x platform, keeping the great Tracking and SmartBeacon Functions from Peters Project.

This Firmware is still in a very early and not well-tested State. Expect Bugs and Functions not working.

Please feel free to open an issue if you found Bugs.

Compiling and configuration

How to compile

The best success is to use PlatformIO (and it is the only platform where I can support you).

• Go to PlatformIO download and install the IDE.
• If installed open the IDE, go to the left side and klick on 'extensions' then search for 'PatformIO' and install.
• Windows users may have to install GIT
• When installed click 'the ant head' on the left and choose import the project on the right.
• Just open the folder and you can compile and upload the Firmware.

Configuration

• You can find all necessary settings to change for your configuration in src/config.h.
