@asaph I've tried it out and it works fantastically 🎉 Thanks @Daniel!

@tholden PIC should also be able to wake up the Pycom board from deepsleep for example if movement is detected by the accelerometer.

Thanks for the input. However, i already did use P9 en P10 for buttons. I'm using the pytrack for a movable cache (geocaching) and need some more user interaction than - probably - normaly would be used with an iot-device.

Use pytrack.py from https://github.com/pycom/pycom-libraries/tree/master/pytrack/lib. Copy pytrack.py to /flash/lib. Test: import pytrack py = pytrack.Pytrack() print( '{}V'.format(py.read_battery_voltage())) Dispaly is 4.686702V hope it's help you.

@bucknall Thanks for following up on this. For trials, the pytrack would be mounted in a car. The pysense is indoors, wall mounted. I'm in the process of 3D printing a casing myself for this. But as a review I can add that an enclosure similar to Pycase Clear, which is able to house the Pysense and Pytrack boards, would be a best suited solution. I have seen in TI SensorTags that they have transparent casing pieces on top of the sensor side of the board with slits and grids to let both light and humidity in. Perhaps this is also something to consider in the design.

@jacquej1 You should create a new post as your problem is really different from the original I posted to avoid confusing people. That beeing said, I see a typo on address path "/dev/ttyUS0" should be /dev/ttyUSB0" If you want to continue the discussion please create a new topic.

@daniel you where right, I had all the libraries outside the lib folder and that's why it did not work. still: import sys sys.path.append('/flash/my_folder') helped me a lot! Thank you!

@jmarcelino s/n is "1713000002" @Pajarraco sorry I should have said that I already used those drivers... but strangely, I had to manually select the drivers as the device appeared as "unknown device" and windows 10 didn't ask me to choose what to do automatically

@aldrinleal your parser is really minimalistic and do not check crc and fix the best i have found was https://github.com/inmcm/micropyGPS/blob/master/micropyGPS.py it need some modifications to be more usefull and you extend error handling. Also at the end you need to add GLONASS commands to the list - but work like a charm :)

@BetterAuto You had to be within the first 100 to sign up when the beta was first announced many months ago. I signed up the first day it was announced but still have no confirmation that I am in the beta program.

@Fred UPDATE Dear All, The Pysense/Pytrack modules have arrived in the UK and we are busy making arrangements to ship the many backorders. Our goal is to have everything shipped by Tuesday next week. You will, no doubt, have started to receiving order acknowledgements confirming completion of orders. Best wishes Fred

@Jiemde This is correct! They use the same sleep method as the deep sleep shield to control the devices sleep. I.e. setup_sleep() + go_to_sleep().

@Fred @bucknall Do you have any expected shipping date for Kickstarter backers for FiPy (and Pysense, and Pytrack) ?

Hi @smssms You could try a 2000 mAh LiPo Battery - https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/lipo-battery-pack I'm sure you can find these cheaper/closer to where you are located but I know these work well as I've used them before from this specific supplier.
