LoRa APRS
LoRa APRS iGate
I recently ordered a Lilygo T3V1.6.1 to set up a LoRa APRS iGate using custom firmware from this GitHub repository. My goal is to receive APRS messages and forward them to APRS-IS.
Cloning the Repository
To get started, I opened the repository in VS Code and cloned it to my local computer. This allows me to modify the configuration and flash the firmware onto the device.
Configuring the iGate
After selecting the correct board, I edited the igate_conf.json file to match my settings. My iGate operates under the call sign DF8VX-10, and for the APRS symbol, I chose a white “L” over a black diamond.
