I gave two of the TTGO units including a couple of Rnodes. I’m going to try a couple of the existing firmware options out there. Some are KISS based some are not. I like the possibility of using the wifi or Bluetooth with the TTGO with some of the APRS programs fir the phones.
Seems for a mobile device, not have a extra board such as a PI might be nice… we’ll see! The TTGO can also be used for this: https://tinygs.com The Rnode guy is also implementing a MESH system but is only in the alpha stage. Beyond my ability. I’ll have to get back to you on Freq, I only got my TTGO going last night and didn’t bother to look! There is a LORA APRS group on Facebook, grin, that is mostly from Europe who have a lot of experience with this .
