LoRa APRS Tracker (Part 8)

Can I commend this pull for low power? It’s pretty amazing. The quiescent current for my igate has fallen from 70mA plus to less than 20mA. Building a LoRa APRS 439Mhz iGate (Part 2) - #5 by M5RJC

It still has the “blank screen” problem but as the WiFi AP works, it not really a problem. There is now a suggested fix for the blank screen on Github.

I hope to have my Earl Sterndale digipeater back in the field today or tomorrow. It will have a Waveshare MPPT charger and the @M5RJC low power firmware. I have some MOSFETs arriving tomorrow to make a night switch but it’s possible that might not be needed now.
