Manual LoRaWAN GPS Tracker V2
GPS / GLONASS LoRaWAN Tracker
New version available
This is the manual for a version of our GPS-Tracker, which is no longer manufactured. This
hardware revision uses has an addon strip screwed on the basis board, labeled GPS Addon
V2.x
(compare the photograph below). Our current hardware revision is labeled
LoRaWAN GPS 3
and does not have an addon strip (compare the photograph in the current
revision's manual). Please be sure you are using the manual for the correct hardware revision.
Do not install firmware of version 7 or higher on the old hardware revision, as it will not work!

RF range. Stone walls, wood or plastic standoffs are perfectly ok. In case of challenging installation locations (e.g. in basements) or unavoidable long distances to the next LoRaWAN gateway, Lobaro offers on request custom product variant equipped with a 'SMA' connector to support a external antenna connection. - Page 4 . Normally your default browser should be opened with this URL automatically after tool startup . Even remote configuration and logobservation over the Internet is possible, e.g. having a Raspberry PI via USB connected to the Lobaro device and accessing the maintenance tool from a remote machines browser over the Internet.

Page 5: System Parameters
Hardware revision 1 with GPS only is no longer available. System Parameters After being successfully connected to the hardware using the Lobaro Maintenance Tool you can press 'Reload Config' in the 'Configuration' tab to read the current configuration from the device. For every parameter a default value is stored non volatile inside the hardware to which you can revert using the 'Restore default' button in case anything got miss configured. - Page 6 Standard Lobaro devices typically do not need to know the real time for proper operation. All times are relative to the initial time when batteries are inserted. If needed by the target application Lobaro can deliver on request special hardware support for keeping data acquisition intervals based on a real time clock which stays in sync with the real time.
- Page 7 The Things Network myDevices Cayenne format As an alternative for the Lobaro data format the tracker can be configured to send Cayenne LPP compatible LoRaWAN uploads. myDevices Cayenne allows you to quickly visualize the via LoRaWAN transmitted data of the Lobaro GPS-tracker.
