README
README.md#OpenFence OpenFence is a digital livestock fencing system, which uses GPS and stereo audio alerts to contain animals within a specified boundary. The location of the fences can be updated using the web interface, and transferred to collar devices wirelessly using LoRa via the in field base station. The movements of the animals are logged and transferred to the web, to allow analysis of movements and land utilisation. #The Purpose OpenFence is designed to make it easier to implement productive and environmentally friendly grazing practises, such as cell grazing. This style of grazing has been shown to increase biodiversity, ground cover, soil carbon and water retention, however it is not commonly implemented due to the additional expenses of fencing and labour. #Build Details Go to the HackaDay.io Page
#Collar Code Download and open with Arduino. Additional libraries required are: TinyGPS++ and RTCZero.

Questions
How big is the MainCollar PCB?
It measures 57 × 97 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the MainCollar use?
78 parts, built around the MCP73871EV, PAM8403, SS24 and USBLC6-2P6. 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 MainCollar KiCad files?
From the plyalex/OpenFence repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/pcbs/MainCollar/MainCollar.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MainCollar design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
