  I know this. But this is for Wio Tracker LTE. Does it also work with Wio Tracker mentioned above?

  Great, thank you. Another option might bei the Wio Tracker by Seed. It looks really interesting. But I am worrying if it would Work with the Wio Tracker LTE firmware? Could you check it or tell me if there is a way to run espruino? The Wio Tracker: https://m.seeedstudio.com/productDetail/­2831

  On the Aliexpress site I found a really good overview of iTracker products: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/RAK8212-­M-Low-Cost-version-iTracker-Pro-Sensor-n­ode-and-GPS-BG96-Module-BLE-GPS-Bluetoot­h5/32898211335.html

  Comparing the RAK8212-M with RAK8212 the only difference seem to be the sensors. But I guess it would be really cheaper to solder the required sensors on my own. It is about $40 cheaper than the RAK8212.

  Am I right that I could run RAK8212-M with espruino so that I do not need a Puck as well? I am wondering that there is no GPRS icon below the image. Can I send a message via internet or SMS using the RAK8212-M?

  Hi,
  I am currently developing an app which tries to receive the current position via GPS and transmits it via internet or SMS. For receiving the GPS position I am using the Ublox NEO6MV2 GPS module which works well. I obviously could use a GPRS/GSM module, connect it to the puck and use it for the data transmission. But I would prefer a single module (product).

  Is there a module which could be connected to the Puck.js which offers GPS and GSM? I found something on the Espruino site: iTracker RAK8212. This seems to work well but I only found it on Aliexpress for $88 which is too expensive for my purposes. Is there a cheaper module which you can recommend?

  After connecting the GPS module to a battery box the connection to the puck works.
  Unfortunately I only get this data (from inside a room):

  {
    "time": "::",
    "lat": NaN, "lon": NaN, "fix": 0, "satellites": 0, "altitude": NaN 
  }
  

  Any idea how to fix that?

  Do I have to solder a battery holder like this (https://shop.pimoroni.de/products/batter­y-holder-3xaa-with-cover-and-switch?utm_­medium=cpc&utm_source=googlepla&variant=­19618738116&gclid=Cj0KCQjwn4ncBRCaARIsAF­D5-gVPMPQg-Hr6TeOP63dCP3NIcx_pjwnf5qXUCg­WFh1-4kTcRJSXkzfEaArLhEALw_wcB) to the GPS module? Red cable to vcc and black cable to GND?

  You may get 2 (fresh) alkaline AA / AAA batteries and power with them the GPS. This way puck is the only one sitting on the button cell

  Thank you. I am quite new at working with electronic components. Do you have a tutorial how to power the GPS module by a battery? I guess that I have to solder something to the VCC pin? Is there something that I should notice?

  The power might be a problem. If the red LED on the GPS module is lighting constantly, the Puck.js delivers Battery level 0. If the GPS module is not connected it delivers a Battery level of 80. So does the puck not have enough power to use a gps module? What is the recommended battery for it? Maybe Varta?
