Build it yourself

It's really not hard. And some board supplier have already installed a firmware version of SoftRF that can be upgraded to ClubRF

The BOM

  1. TTGO T-Beam ESP32 board (must be appropriate for your region 433/868/915mhz)
  2. Larger/better Antenna
  3. An 18650 LiPo Battery source locally is best

The Build

  1. Simple Case least material
  2. Build/Install the firmware

You can order it fully built and delivered here...

Upgrade to "stand-alone"

Adds the ability to use the device without having to connect to software.

To the above add;

  1. 8-bit WS2812 LED rings
  2. 3x WS2812 LED array
  3. Wire/solder per these instructions

Community sourced

This is based on another populare DIY proximity awareness project. There's tons more great information on that reprository. This project is focussed on Soaring Club solutions and commited to staying community sourced.
