synopsis

Modify the famous Motorola Advisor (from the movie Hackers) so it listens to the LoRa band.


ingredients

  • Motorola Advisor I with single AAA battery
  • RFM95 SX1276 module with helix antenna
  • step-up (boost) converter to 3.3v
  • Arduino pro mini 3.3v
  • RSS.EXE (for resetting password) and ADVISOR.EXE
  • optional but advised: programming jig with pogo pins
  • AdvisorRadio.ino that translates LoRa messages into POGSAC

Basically, Pena Sarajärvi did all the heavy lifting back in 2021[1]

result

  • really jank jig

  • separate parts

  • LoRa module in place
