README.mdArduino Micro LoRA/FSK KISS modem and APRS AX.25 digirepeater
Introduction
This project is Arduino Micro LoRA/FSK USB KISS modem and standalone APRS AX.25 digirepeater with RA-01 LoRA module.
Probably, could be easily used with other Arduino boards.
Currently, default radio module is SX1278, such as RA-01/RA-02.
Can be build in two modes:
- As USB KISS LoRA/FSK modem, to be used with Linux AX.25 tools over USB or with APRSDroid or Codec2Talkie applications over USB OTG
- As a standalone LoRA/FSK AX.25 digirepeater optimized for low power consumption
Configure
Update include/config.h with your LoRA modulation settings and module pinouts.
Build
Use platformio to build required configuration for repeater or modem.

Questions
How big is the Lora digirepeater micro PCB?
It measures 58.9 × 19.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Lora digirepeater micro use?
9 parts. 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 Lora digirepeater micro KiCad files?
From the sh123/micro_loraprs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is extras/schematics/lora_digirepeater_micro.kicad_pcb and its schematic extras/schematics/lora_digirepeater_micro.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Lora digirepeater micro design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
