Description of the PCB

This board is a ESP32S3 with a LoRa Receiver. It is used as the ground segment transceiver to receive the telemetry from the CubeSat, and send telemecommands, over LoRa.

Flash the software

The software of the LoRa Receiver can be found in this repository.

The software is basically a pipe from LoRa to UART. Everything that is received over LoRa, is transmitted back to UART, and viceversa.

In order to flash this board it is not necessary to use an external programmer. It works directly by connecting the USB type C cable to the computer.

How to test it

After flashing the software into the LoRa Receiver board, you can follow the next guide 20240408 - COMMS - Workshop 1 - Sending data over LoRa. In which the COMMS is sending test data, and it is possible to receive it with the LoRa Receiver.
