Changelog​

app-lorawan-gps – LoRaWAN GPS Tracker.

The changelog format is based on Keep a Changelog, and the project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

8.0.7 – 2021-02-19​

Fixed

  • Avoid GPS reset to keep state during sleep mode. Speed up time to fix after sleep.

8.0.6 – 2021-02-11​

Fixed

  • Temperature sensor caused a reset on the latest hardware batch.

8.0.5 – 2020-08-10​

Fixed

  • LoRaWAN: NewChannelReq can remove channels by setting the frequency to 0 instead of just disabling them.
  • LoRaWAN: Fix bug where NBTrans > 1 leads to multiple responses from the LoRaWAN stack.

8.0.4 – 2020-08-06​

Fixed

  • Fix internal self-testing result format.

8.0.3 – 2020-08-06​

Fixed

  • Remove random payload in reboot request ACK upload.

8.0.1 – 2020-08-05​

Fixed

  • Fix config problem with low SF.

8.0.0 – 2020-08-05​

Changed

  • Change official product name to LOB-S-GPS-LW-3.
  • Verify LoRaWAN stack using the official testing tool by the LoRa Alliance.
  • Remove OpMode (Class C), ADR, and time sync over LoRaWAN.
  • Change internal logic of the LostReboot feature to use ACKs for checking for network.

Added

  • Low voltage protection.

Fixed

  • Fix voltage step-up logic for GPS and LoRa.
  • Send uplink before reboot when ACK required.

7.1.0 – 2020-06-17​

Added

  • Add timestamp for last movement event to port 2 payload.
  • Add config parameter movementDistance that configures how GPS-position changes are calculated as movement events.

Fixed

  • LoRaWAN 1.1 issue that sometimes led to invalid DevNonces used for OTAA join.
  • Make sure mode changes from active to passive are reported in the final uplink before change.
  • Fix an issue that could lead to all-zero position data sent as valid position.

7.0.1 – 2020-06-04​

Fixed

  • Upgrade to Lobaro LoRaWAN Stack 1.2.1 (RX window adjustment).

7.0.0 – 2020-04-28​

Changed

  • Completely rewrite firmware for new dedicated board with new LoRaWAN features and concepts.
  • Completely change payload format.
  • Listen to MEMS events while not asleep.
  • Check for movement by GPS to update activity mode.
  • New LED blinking patterns.

Added

  • Start this changelog.
  • Regular status messages independent of data messages.
  • New Lobaro LoRaWAN Stack (v1.1, remote configuration via downlink, Class C, etc.).
  • Time sync from GPS.
  • Change naming from "Alive Mode" to "Passive Mode" for easier distinguishing from "Active Mode".
