This kit lets you build a 30x40mm LoRa GPS tracker that sips power from a single CR2450 coin cell, sending location data over miles using the RA-02 LoRa module. You’ll design a compact PCB and program the Arduino Nano 33 IoT to wake up, get a GPS fix, transmit, and hibernate—all within strict energy constraints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will assemble a fully functional, waterproof asset tracker that fits inside a custom enclosure.
