Demonstrates firmware for microcontrollers like the _ESP32_ to implement a LoRa APRS iGate and Digipeater. This project leverages LoRa for packet radio communication, allowing amateur radio operators to bridge the gap between LoRa-enabled APRS stations and the global APRS-IS network via WiFi. It details the setup for both iGate and Digipeater modes, including features like transmitting APRS-IS packets over LoRa to local stations and a 30-second buffer in digipeater mode to prevent packet storms. This firmware offers an Ultra Eco Mode, achieving current consumption between **7mA** and **13mA**, making it suitable for remote, battery-powered deployments. The integrated WebUI simplifies configuration and management, providing an accessible interface for hams to deploy and maintain their LoRa APRS infrastructure. It supports sending weather telemetry packets and adheres to APRS protocols, released under the GPL-3.0 license.
