No itā€™s not a Girlā€¦ But a technology that is becoming more popular.
the information about LoRa devices, LoRaWAN protocol can be found in several official resources:

  1. Semtechā€™s Official LoRa Documentation (Semtech is the creator of LoRa technology)
  1. RadioLib Documentation (Library weā€™re using)
  • RadioLib GitHub Repository
  • The README.md file and documentation provide an overview of supported devices and library functions.
  • There is a Wiki section with details on how to use the library, examples, and parameter descriptions.
  1. SX1262 Data Sheet (Specific to the module weā€™re using)
  • SX1261/SX1262 Datasheet
  • This datasheet provides technical specifications, including registers, modulation schemes, power settings, and more.
  1. LoRaWAN Specification by LoRa Alliance
  • LoRa Alliance Website
  • The official specifications, including ADR handling, join process, and other protocol details.
  1. Library Documentation for Arduino Users
  • RadioLib Documentation
  • This provides details on how to use the library functions, including radio.begin(), radio.transmit(), radio.receive(), and how it is applied.

I hope it gives the beginners (me too!) a foothold on the Scope of the technology and what Seeed and Others have to offer.

As much as the Tracker 1000-E has been bashedā€¦ i think it is one of the most successful plug and play seeed devices I have had the pleasure of working withā€¦ The software support is at the mercy of Meshtasticā€¦ but I am actually plesently surprisedā€¦ especially because i had bad ego interactions with them on the discordā€¦

this device ā€¦ unfortunatly is a low performerā€¦ only for prototyping, stronger for LoRa sensors in close rangeā€¦ maybe 100 yards max and direct line of siteā€¦ but it also is supported and performs on the meshtastic networkā€¦ just GPS and LoRa range is weak. works flawlessly with LoRaWAN gateway and Seeed Dashboard. Totally a proff of concept device. i hope it could be upgradedā€¦ because i love the 6 grove ports!

lets hope seeeed will continue to hear our cries!

There have been several new T1000-Es popping up on the local mesh monthly. Good reviews from local users.

I am thinking of mounting a Xiao-size Wio to back of my GIGA R1 bedside clock. Donā€™t know why just yet. Working on itā€¦
