LoRa APRS Config Files
A couple of folks have asked for my configuration files for my LoRa APRS trackers and i-gates, so I thought I would just share them in a follow-up post. Be sure to read my first and second LoRa APRS posts.
Here is my tracker_config.json file:
{
"beacons": [
{
"callsign": "W0RMT-XX",
"symbol": "[",
"overlay": "/",
"micE": "",
"comment": "",

"slowSpeed": 3,
"fastRate": 60,
"fastSpeed": 15,
"minTxDist": 50,
"minDeltaBeacon": 20,
"turnMinDeg": 12,
"turnSlope": 60
}
},
{
"callsign": "W0RMT-XX",
"symbol": "k",
"overlay": "/",
"micE": "",

}
],
"display": {

And here is my igate_conf.json file:

}
]
},
"beacon": {
"latitude": XX.XXXXXX,
"longitude": XXX.XXXXXX,
"comment": "LoRa APRS IGATE",
"interval": 15,
"overlay": "L",
"symbol": "a",
"path": "WIDE1-1",
"sendViaAPRSIS": true,
"sendViaRF": true
},
"digi": {

},
"aprs_is": {

"passcode": "XXXX",
"server": "noam.aprs2.net",
"port": 14580,
"filter": "m/50",

},
"lora": {
"txFreq": 433775000,
"rxFreq": 433775000,
"spreadingFactor": 12,
"signalBandwidth": 125000,
"codingRate4": 5,
"power": 20,
"txActive": true,

},
"display": {

"timeout": 4,

},
"syslog": {
"active": true,
"server": "logservernamehere",
"port": XXXXX
},
"bme": {

},
"ota": {
"username": "",
"password": ""
},
"other": {
"rememberStationTime": 30,
"sendBatteryVoltage": false,
"externalVoltageMeasurement": false,
"externalVoltagePin": 34
}
}
In each case you will need to customize for your callsign and SSID, Winlink pwd, WiFi network, APRS-IS access, lat/lon, etc.
Please comment if you have any questions!
