Arctic Tracker is a project to develop an advanced APRS tracker. The Arctic Tracker is also a IoT device capable of using WIFI and the internet when this is available: For easy configuration, for pushing APRS data, etc. It can also function as an igate or digipeater. A software platform (firmware) is developed based on the ESP-32 (S3) microcontroller module.
Documentation for the Arctic Tracker
Source code and more info on Github. This website offers software updates and tools for maintaining the tracker.
Pre-built firmware can be downloaded here as Zip files containing all components. There are different versions for the different tracker-hardware supported.
Download it here.
It is also my intention to make the last release available for OTA installation. You need two files: (1) The firmware (ArcticTracker.bin) and the web-application (webapp.bin). Configure the tracker with URL paths for each of those. There are different versions for the different tracker-hardware supported. For example for the T-TWR-2.1 it is:
You can find all files here.
The webapp can be used to see and change the settings of trackers. It can handle multiple trackers. It assumes that a tracker is on the same LAN as your PC and browser (or smartphone). This webapp is also installed on the tracker itself.
