LTE Cat.1

Wio Tracker (Wireless Input Output) is an open source gateway which enable faster IoT GPS solutions. It is Arduino and Grove compatible development boards that helps you track nearly any moving thing on the planet and then upload that data wirelessly. The Wio LTE is the LTE version of Wio Tracker, so now we’ve got 2 versions of Wio Tracker and the LTE (4G) version will make some differences.

There are three main updates comparing the Wio LTE to the 2G version. Firstly, from its name we know that the Wio LTE supports LTE (4G) communication which is much faster and popular than 2G. Secondly, the Wio LTE supports in total 4 different GNSS – GPS, Beidou, GLONSS and Galileo, the QZSS is also supported as bonus. With more GNSS support, positioning will be more accurate. Thirdly, the Wio LTE‘s MCU is upgraded to STM32, which is based on Cortex-M4, makes the Wio LTE 5 times faster than the 2G version. What’s more, the flash and RAM have also been raised to 1Mbytes and 192+4k bytes.

Apart from the three main updates, the LTE version is almost the same as the 2G version. If your project is using the 2G version, it would be very easy to update to the LTE version because we have prepared transplantable and expansible AT command library. The Arduino and Grove compatibility allows for quicker development through numerous libraries and a supportive community. The GPS library which will be available with the board is not just limited to Arduino – it can function just as well if you chose to develop in C/C++. With the onboard 6 Grove connections, developers can create any combination of our 180+ sensors and actuators to build project and solve any problem. Simplifying the prototyping and development phase is our goal.

The Wio LTE is well suited for outdoor projects where the device can connect to the GPS satellites and provide a real-time location of the item it is attached to. The LTE provides a wide bandwidth which allows much faster interaction between the user and device. If you are going to build projects like a bicycle sharing service, tracking pets or livestock, locating a vehicle, or even keeping track of a child, the Wio LTE is the best solution.

Wio Tracker（无线输入输出）是一个开源网关，可实现更快的物联网GPS解决方案。它是Arduino和Grove兼容的开发板，可以帮助您跟踪地球上几乎任何移动的东西，然后无线上传该数据。 Wio LTE是Wio Tracker的LTE版本，所以现在我们有两个版本的Wio Tracker和LTE（4G）版本会产生一些差异。

将Wio LTE与2G版本进行比较有三个主要更新。首先，从它的名字我们知道Wio LTE支持LTE（4G）通信，它比2G更快更流行。其次，Wio LTE共支持4种不同的GNSS - GPS，北斗，GLONSS和Galileo，QZSS也作为奖励支持。随着更多GNSS的支持，定位将更加准确。第三，Wio LTE的MCU升级到STM32，它基于Cortex-M4，使Wio LTE比2G版本快5倍。更重要的是，闪存和RAM也已提升到1M字节和192 + 4k字节。

除了三个主要更新外，LTE版本与2G版本几乎相同。如果您的项目使用2G版本，那么更新到LTE版本将非常容易，因为我们已经准备好可移植且可扩展的AT命令库。 Arduino和Grove兼容性允许通过众多库和支持性社区更快地开发。板上可用的GPS库不仅限于Arduino - 如果您选择使用C / C ++进行开发，它也可以正常工作。通过板载6 Grove连接，开发人员可以创建180多个传感器和执行器的任意组合，以构建项目并解决任何问题。简化原型设计和开发阶段是我们的目标。

Wio LTE非常适合户外项目，在这些项目中，设备可以连接到GPS卫星，并提供所附物品的实时位置。 LTE提供宽带宽，允许用户和设备之间更快的交互。如果您打算建立自行车共享服务，跟踪宠物或牲畜，定位车辆，甚至跟踪孩子等项目，Wio LTE是最佳解决方案。

Hardware Overview

Getting Started¶

Install USB driver¶

• Windows Users: Most versions of Windows won't automatically load the built-in driver for USB com ports. You'll have to download ST's USB driver:

  • Non-Windows XP Users download version 1.4.0 drivers. Unzip the file, run the executable, and then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\Software\Virtual comport driver in Windows Explorer and double-click either dpinst_amd64.exe for 64 bit systems, or dpinst_x86.exe for 32 bit.

  • Windows XP Users download version 1.3.1 drivers. Unzip the file, run VCP_V1.3.1_Setup.exe, and then go to C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\Software\Virtual comport driver in Windows Explorer and double-click the executable.

• Linux users to ensure that you have the correct permissions to connect as a normal user you'll need to copy the file 45-espruino.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d, reload rules
