Thanks for your message! I’m really glad to hear this inspires you. I also have some spare keyboards, but I haven’t gotten around to installing them yet-it’s still on my to-do list. :)
Thank you very much for the information, Sam! Now, for example, if I want to use it during my hikes in the páramos, and in addition to sending my coordinates via APRS, I want to use sensors to measure temperature, humidity, walking speed, and some other variables, or perhaps send an SMS with the coordinates at regular intervals using a GSM module, can I do the necessary programming to make it work? Since it is based on an ESP32, I think it could be done, but I'm not sure.
For the temperature sensors and GPS, there are presets for how frequently data should be broadcast. However, as far as I remember, this data is not sent via text message but can be retrieved through the app, likely to prevent nodes from spamming. As for performing this type of automation solely with the ESP32, I’m not sure it’s feasible. Connecting the ESP32 to a PC would probably make this doable with some basic scripts. That’s a really interesting use case, and I’d love to explore it further in future tests
This is cool thank you. I'm planning to add a keyboard and upgrade the display in mine. I didn't realize you could do this much.
