Browan Object Locator (Tabs) compatibility?

[james-coder]

Inside a Browan Object Locator: https://fccid.io/2AMUGTBOL100/Internal-Photos/Internal-Photographs-3797119

Looks at the PCB photos above, it has the following chips:

• LoRa SX1276
• u-blox EVA M8Q GPS https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/eva-m8-series
• STM32L071RBH6 https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/stmicroelectronics/STM32L071RBH6/497-19191-ND/6621799

There is a 6-pin header under the board:

Here is the bootloader used: https://github.com/TrackNet/bootloader

Looking at the above Bootloader repo, this is literally just a B-L072Z-LRWAN1 compatible device.

So maybe the STM32-Lora-Disco-RS repo can have "Tabs" compatibility? It might be difficult to open a Tabs, unsure yet? Also, you'd probably need a POGO mount to flash it. (3D print one.)

This should allow a slower send interval for GPS positions, or better compliance with Helium / LoRaWAN / LongFi specifics.

Also, Hsiang and the Discord channel #node-dev get credit for helping find the above info.

Those locking jtag cables run about 100usd. Here is a printable parametric (customizable) project if you have the ability to accurately print fine detail: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:22688 You can use those parts in combination with the following jig: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:33106 I have used them with these pogos: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019FGHZBG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
