Orthogone GPS LORA BLE tracker by igalloway

This is a custom box made for an Orthogone GPS tracker PCB. The device uses NXP Kinetis Processor (ARM Cortex M0+ M4). One one side is a GPS module and LORA long distance radio. On on the other side is another LORA receiving (RX) radio and a BLE radio. This RX side connects to your cellphone. The TX side sends its GPS coordinates Over LORA so you can track or find it within approx 2KM radius. This is completely independent of an network or cellullar connection. if the TX is farther away, as soon as you get within range it will then show up on the RX side. For example if you lost your Drone, or Bicycle, you could drive around until you were approx within 2km range, and then immediately find it.
This is a simple box for these radios. Designed for when they still have their debugging interfaces attached, and the LORA radio and GPS antenna cable just sticks out the slot. The little LiPo battery sits underneath the board.
