30th September: I'll be back!

A project log for WildDrone Locator

"Safety First!", we often hear. Mounted on a drone, this beacon says "I'm here!" in LoRa language.

...said Schwarzenegger once.

With the contest deadline on my trail, I must conclude that the RF physics won this battle. I did a bit more testing yesterday with the bicycle around my region, but I only repeated the 3 km "performance" achieved at the beginning. LOS is not as easy to get as I initially thought.

It sucks that I did not manage to put the thing aboard a drone and to create my own LOS.

But that's a job for another day.

It's almost 3 o'clock in the morning here and I'm glad that I managed to describe my work so far.

This project will not be scrapped or shelved abandoned or whatever. Testing will go on and on, so stay tuned.
