TinyGS is an open-source firmware for ESP32-based LoRa ground stations that form a distributed network to receive transmissions from LoRa satellites, weather probes, and other flying objects. Received packets are aggregated and displayed in real time on the TinyGS community website.
Use cases
- build a cheap LoRa satellite ground station with an ESP32 board
- receive weather balloon and probe telemetry over LoRa
- join a community network of distributed ground stations
- track and decode packets from LoRa satellites
- remotely configure and update a ground station over the web
When to choose
- you own a supported ESP32 + SX126x/SX127x LoRa board and want to receive satellite or probe signals
- you want your received packets shared on a public community data website
- you want easy flashing via a web installer and OTA updates
When to avoid
- you need general-purpose satellite tracking without LoRa modulation
- you require licensed-band or high-power professional ground station equipment
- your radio hardware is not ESP32-based or uses unsupported radio modules
