## Supported boards
|
|
|
|
You can use one of the Lora32 boards:
|
|
|
|
* TTGO T-Beam V0.7 (433MHz SX1278)
|
|
* TTGO T-Beam V1.0 and V1.1 (433MHz SX1278)
|
|
* TTGO T-Beam V1.2 AXP2101 (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 and configuration
|
|
|
|
**There is a german [quick start](https://www.lora-aprs.info/docs/LoRa_APRS_iGate/quick-start-guide/) page! Take a look ;)**

### How to compile
|
|
|
|
The best success is to use PlatformIO (and it is the only platform where I can support you).
|
|
|
|
* Go to [PlatformIO](https://platformio.org/) 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.
|
|
* 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 the Firmware.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
* You can find all nessesary settings to change for your configuration in **data/tracker.json**.
|
|
* The `button_tx` setting enables manual triggering of the beacon using the middle button on the T-Beam.
|
|
* To upload it to your board you have to do this via **Upload File System image** in PlatformIO!
|
|
* To find the 'Upload File System image' click the PlatformIO symbol (the little alien) on the left side, choos your configuration, click on 'Platform' and search for 'Upload File System image'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Step on console
|
|
|
|
You may not need to use PlatformIO because compilation and configuration can be done via console.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# switch to virtual env, for example using pipenv
|
|
pipenv shell
|
|
|
|
# install platformio
|
|
pipenv install platformio
|
|
|
|
# upload to board
|
|
pio run -t upload
|
|
```
