## The Things Network Tracker (TTN-Tracker)
For use with [kizniche/ttgo-tbeam-ttnmapper](https://github.com/kizniche/ttgo-tbeam-ttnmapper) for the T-Beam TTGO that transmits data to [The Things Network](https://thethingsnetwork.org) (TTN) for [TTN Mapper](https://ttnmapper.org/). This is the tracker node.

This Flask app hosts a wen-enabled front end using [gunicorn](https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn) and [nginx](http://nginx.org/). It pulls coordinate data acquired from the tracker node that's been stored on TTN. It stores these coordinates in an SQLite database and displays the coordinates on a map ([leaflet](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet)) in your web browser. This is useful for testing the signal range from gateways while driving, so you can see when and where your signal was able to reach a gateway.

This is very similar to the TTN Mapper frontend, however TTN Mapper takes a long time to update the data points on its map. This software runs locally on your own hardware and responds instantly to new data on TTN, making it a good companion in your vehicle if you want to get instant updates as to whether your tracker node successfully communicated its coordinates or not.
