the idea … rotating a reflector around a small antenna to gain a bit in a certain direction.
reflector wil be mounted on a little stepper motor driven platform, with the antenna sticking trough.
well… that’s the theory
use case : when receiving location data from mobile tracker the antenna follows the tracker
Sounds like a plan…will look myself as years since I last used any ‘free’ hosting services - just those associated with some (paid for) domain reg ‘free’ holding pages.
Mind you down for maintenance already? :-

BoRRoZ is down for maintenance… lol.
Please check back again soon.

…or you just haven’t had time to load up a some content/holding page yet given all the other toys and distractions above? (RAK831 win, directional/steerable ant. multiple SPI etc.)… where do you find the time! Need to sleep sometime so hence BoRRoz is down for maintenance? tee hee…
Based on @Charles’ very nice Mini-LoRa PCB (with minor custom modifications).
Arduino Pro Mini (stripped for low-power) + RFM95W module, standard 2x AAA 3V battery compartment and 5cm antenna.
Nice idea, I haven’t read the full article but I suspect that you will probably run into interrupt issues, because you will not be able to (instantly) respond to hardware interrupts when an interrupt occurs(?).
I will run in some issues, and for those I need extra (fast) ports, probably a dedicated lib
well it’s just an idea… but of course I bought the components
I think I’ll need rf switches on those ports to, so I won’t blow frontend from the rfm95 when one is transmitting and one is listening (the antenna’s are on the same enclosure and very close)
@bluejedi Yes I went to LowPowerLab, Felix don’t do it anymore. so the last solution is a DIY
It’s open source so you can get all here including gerber files and BOM file, should be easy to make
