What

This page is about investigation of Sigfox location trackers, e.g.:

  • how existing trackers work
  • coverage of the sigfox network
  • how to interact with the sigfox backend
  • ultimately, help develop a sigfox tracker for tracking small animals, like bats

Investigation

Interesting reading:

How to get the keys:

coverage

Sigfox coverage, bike trip Gouda-Leidschendam

Existing trackers

LWT-100

This is a tracker made by Invoxia, features:

Apparently this was originally a LoRa tracker, contains a LoRa transceiver, but now uses SigFox! The radio waveform is created by the SX1272, not by a specialized Sigfox chip.

Software

The ST package 'STM32Cube_FW_WL_V1.0.0' has examples for Sigfox: https://www.st.com/en/embedded-software/stm32cubewl.html

In directory XX you can find the following examples:

  • Sigfox_AT_Slave
  • Sigfox_AT_Slave_DualCore
  • Sigfox_PushButton
  • Sigfox_PushButton_DualCore

It appears that, typically, you should edit a file sigfox_data.h to enter the sigfox credentials (device id, pac and key)
