tbtracker-esp32's Introduction

TBTracker-ESP32

A Plug and Play High Altitude Balloon tracker for ESP32. Supports LoRa, LoRa-APRS, RTTY, Horus V1 4FSK, Horus V2 4FSK.

TBTracker-ESP32 is an Arduino sketch for a tracker for high altitude weather or scientific balloons. It supports sending telemetry data in mulitple formats:

  • RTTY
  • LoRa
  • LoRa-APRS
  • Horus 4FSK V1
  • Horus 4FSK V2

You can select multiple modes or just a single mode.

It is designed to send telemetry data in the correct format for https://amateur.sondehub.org.

The code is written in the Arduino IDE for ESP32 with a GPS module and a LoRa module like the sx1278 or sx1276 or Hope RFM9x.

Library

You will need to install two extra Arduino library from the librairy manager:

  • Radiolib
  • TinyGPS++

Hardware

The minimal hardware configuration you need is:

  • ESP32 or ESP32S2 board
  • GPS module (recommended Ublox Neo or ATGM336H)
  • Lora module (sx1278 or sx1276 or Hope RFM9x module)

Horusbinary_radiolib

The radio related basecode for this sketch was taken from the horusbinary_radiolib project. See: https://github.com/projecthorus/horusbinary_radiolib

Installation

Connect your LoRa and GPS modules to your ESP board and change the values in the settings.h file.See the comments in the settings.h file. Compile in the Arduino IDE and upload to your board.

tbtracker-esp32's Issues

Frequency offset for radio module

Testing a board with HPD14A V1.2 lora module (SX1278 433 - 470 MHz) I notice offset between set frequency and transmitted frequency for both RTTY and V2 4fsk and not for LoRa and APRS LoRa

For LoRa my receivers report average - 0.6 kHz offset.
For APRS LoRa my receiver reports -0.1 kHz offsett.

TX frequencies for RTTY and 4FSK are 6 kHz below the frequency set in the config. By adding 6 kHz to them I can get them on the wanted frequency. Difficult to test if this offset changes with frequency.

Any idea why lora TX is on frequency but RTTY and 4fsk are not ? Not sure if any other users experience the same.

Thanks,
Ben

We could use some documentation / wiki on this

Hi, this morning I grabbed "some hardware" from my drawer to give this a test :-)

Lilygo-no-display
With a bit of Google I got passed the "init failure" by setting the lora config to:

************************************************************************************/
#define SCK 5
#define MISO 19
#define MOSI 27
#define CS 34

#define PIN_NSS 18
#define PIN_DIO0 26
#define PIN_BUSY -1 // Not used in this sketch for sx1278
#define PIN_RESET 23
#define PIN_DIO1 -1 // Not used in this sketch for sx1278


It's transmitting now, as set, RTTY, 4FSK V2, LoRa APRS and LoRa , and I am awaiting the inside GPS lock to see if I have the right configuration set for that too.

Working GPS pins for this model:

// GPS Serial device
static const int Rx = 12, Tx = 34; // This will probably be different for your board
static const uint32_t GPSBaud = 9600;

some info used:

ttgo t-beam v 1 1

Thanks !
