TTN Tracker

The TTN Tracker is a Things Network node with a gps, used to map out coverage on TTN Mapper. The device is aimed at end users, but can also be reprogrammed by more advanced users.

Thisrepository contains the schematics used to create the device as well as any additional files and the firmware that was loaded on the device.

Schematics

The schematics were created using KiCad 4.0.7

Datasheets

Questions

How big is the Gps node PCB?

It measures 48 × 75 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Gps node use?

69 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-AU, TLV71333PDBV and NFM21HC105R1C3D. 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 Gps node KiCad files?

From the ttnmapper/ttntrackernode repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is schematic/v2/gps_node.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Gps node design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ttnmapper before reusing the design.
