TrackerD-LS is an Open Source LoRaWAN Asset Tracker based on ESP32 MCU and Semtech LoRa Wireless Chip. It can get the location data via GPS and set it to IoT server via LoRaWAN network.

TrackerD-LS supports Motion Detection, when there is motion, TrackerD-LS can send data more frequently and it will save power when no motion is detected.

The LoRa wireless technology used in TrackerD-LS allows the user to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data-rates. It provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimizing current consumption. It targets professional tracking services.

When there is no LoRaWAN network, TrackerD-LS can save the location data. It will send these data to IoT server when there is LoRaWAN network coverage.

TrackerD-LS is equipped with a 3000mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery + Solar Panel which let the device can be used for many years. Each TrackerD-LS has a worldwide unique OTAA keys to join the LoRaWAN network. 

TrackerD-LS is program friendly. Developers can use Arduino IDE to customize the software of TrackerD-LS to fit their IoT solution.

Note: LoRaWAN server can be a general LoRaWAN server other than TTN.

2.  Use TrackerD-LS

2.1  How it works?

TrackerD-LS is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A GPS tracker by default. It has OTAA keys to join LoRaWAN network. To connect a LoRaWAN network, user need to input the OTAA keys in the LoRaWAN IoT server and push reset button of TrackerD-LS (next to USB port). TrackerD-LS will wake up and auto join the network via OTAA.

2.2  Quick guide to connect to LoRaWAN server

Here is an example for how to join the TTNv3 LoRaWAN Network. Below is the network structure, we use LPS8N as LoRaWAN gateway in this example.  

The LPS8N is already set to connect to TTN V3 network . What the rest need to is register this device in TTN V3:

Step 1: Create a device in TTN V3 with the OTAA keys from TrackerD-LS.

Each TrackerD-LS is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as below:

Input these keys to their LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN V3 screen shot:

Add APP EUI in the application:

Add APP KEY and DEV EUI:

Step 2: Long press for 5 seconds to start. 

Step 3: TrackerD-LS will auto join to the LoRaWAN network. After join success, TrackerD-LS will start to upload message to IoT server.

2.3  Positioning Mode(SMOD)

Users can set TrackerD-LS to different Positioning Mode for different applications. Below mod are supported.

• GPS ONLY(Factory Settings):    Only get and uplink GPS location info.

Users can switch modes by changing SMOD.

2.4  Uplink Payload

2.4.1  Uplink FPORT=5, Device Status

Uplink the device configures with FPORT=5. Once TrackerD-LS Joined the network, it will uplink this message to the server. After the first uplink, TrackerD-LS will uplink Device Status every 12 hours.

Use can also get the Device Status uplink through the downlink command: Downlink:  0x2301

7.4  When positioning, it will restart or the PDOP setting is unsuccessful

Please download version 1.4.2 again

7.5  How to deal with unsuccessful GPS positioning?

1） Make Sure the device is in Open Area where can see the sky. 

2)   Set PDOP to a higher value. 

• AT+PDOP=2 (can be positioned precisely.）

• AT+PDOP=7 (Quickly locate in open spaces）

• AT+PDOP=14.7 (Positioning can be acquired in complex environments）

Please refer to this link on how to set up PDOP

7.6  When upgrading the firmware, the data is not completely erased, and the information does not return to normal after multiple resets

When upgrading, use the erase button to upgrade

The parameters are displayed abnormally and cannot be fixed using AT+FDR

Please upgrade these four files,link（The boot_app0 file is in the version folder you need)

Reboot information after upgrade

Use AT+FDR command to reset and then use AT+CFG to check whether the configuration is back to normal

After the parameters return to normal, upgrade to the version you need again

At this point, the parameters return to normal after running AT+FDR again

7.7  If you encounter the following problems, please upgrade to the latest version

1. Press and hold the red button (more than 5 seconds), and the device and server do not respond.

2. Send some commands through the serial port to prompt an error (Example：AT+SMOD=1,0,1)

7.8  Why when using some serial consoles, only inputting the first string port console will return "error"?

Need to enter the entire command at once, not a single character.
User can open a command window or copy the entire command to the serial console.
