2nd version of a LoRa tracker now using a +30dBm radio coupled with a MIA-M10 for proper tracking.
The system is split into two boards. The primary "logic" board contains the embedded and RF devices. The PowerPack contains all of the necessary circuitry to switch between USB and Battery power sources as well as produce +5V and +3.3V filtered supply rails.

Questions
How big is the Rudolph Tracker PCB?
It measures 45.6 × 25 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Rudolph Tracker use?
57 parts, built around the RP2040, W25Q128JVSIQ, 445I23D12M00000 and IRLML0060TRPBF. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Rudolph Tracker KiCad files?
From the UMDBPP/Rudolph repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/Rudolph_Tracker/Rudolph_Tracker.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/PowerPack/PowerPack.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Rudolph Tracker design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask UMDBPP before reusing the design.
