- Building a Lora Cat tracker.
One device on the cat and another at home connected to the network.
Showing where the cat is on google maps.
It will update about every second.
The range is about 500m.
The coordinates is transmitted from the cat unit to the base station by LoRa.

I am always amazed at your workmanship
Hey I seem like I'm on the last step I think it's all transmitting and receiving I just can't access the web server IP address subnet mask and everything matches
would you do some rover project in future? I am very impressed on your skills, never stop doing this please
Very cool! Can you have multiple "cats" transmitting to the same receiving unit?
oh hello cat lady...you got me interested at 'multiple cats'
this is my dream workmanship
that's so cool
Have you thought about building a repeater module you could place somewhere? Or mount to a drone?
Lora has a range of a few km in a city and dozens of km in the country so the cat prob isn't going that far. Buttt having a drone following the cat around like a heli in GTA sounds kinda sick
Did you miniaturize it since?
Is it possible to have more than 1 transmitter talk to a single receiver? For example 2 transmitters report back to a single receiver?
Are you still using the Adafruit Ethernet FeatherWing? If so how is it connected to your circuit for the receiver/web portion?
oh, and why I can't download steelsquid kiss os, i couldn't find the image in the files.
Who will bell the cat?
I'm really dumb. You'd need to make a way more simplified and more detailed video for me to build this.
What is your very tolerant cats name ?
Did you really need a 5 amp power switch ?
Miniaturization isn't your thing eh ? lol
It's lucky you've got a really big 🐈 cat !
LoRa is awesome, but I don't understand why you didn't just use a uSD card to log the coordinates rather than a live feed.
Your workshop is quite incredible !
Cats get lost sometimes, transmitting them can be a literal life saver
I wonder how far away the transmitter can be. If I had one transmitter on a body out in the ocean. And the receiver was 50 miles away. How high would half to raise the receiver before it got line on site.?
To give some kind of idea. On 440mhz a Ham Radio repeater up 300ft has a range of around 20-30miles to a mobile station. But that is with high gain antennas! Plus that is in East Texas where we have many trees and hills to deal with. Also the repeater is running 25-30 watts i believe.
So even on 433mhz it would probably need to be at Airplane height ( a few thousand feet ) to be able to receive it. But there are many factors to consider. Being at water level reduces the range! Saltwater is a plus but if it were to get submerged that would probably shield it completely. Plus the higher you go in freq the less range you have. I didnt see in the video what band he was using but if its 900mhz it will be considerable less range than 433mhz.
The best way to do that would be over HF. It has many factors too but in a 24hr period it should be received by someone. But that requires a Ham license and much larger equipment. The next option would be one of those Emergency Satellite Beacon devices.
There maybe other options in other countries as i am in the USA.
These Long Range LoRa tests and claims i find hard to believe! But if you take 2 stations up above ground level a considerable amount and with the right band conditions anything is possible! A Ham in California talked to a guy in Hawaii once using low power but it was a one time thing due to him catching band conditions PERFECT! Tropospheric ducting causes the signal to bounce between 2 cold air masses in the atmosphere. So its NOT reliable.
Keep pets at you,re property please
Going to tell the cat to please stay put
