From the project

a asset tracker demo project based on msom

This repository contains the full asset tracker project across firmware, hardware, and enclosure design.

It is organized as a small multi-discipline workspace:

- fw: Particle firmware - hw: KiCad hardware design and fabrication outputs - cad: enclosure and mechanical files

The project is intended for a battery-powered tracker that can:

- get GNSS location - publish location data to the Particle Cloud - detect motion using an accelerometer - enter low-power hibernate when inactive - wake by accelerometer interrupt or timed interval
