# LightAPRS WSPR Tracker
LightAPRS-W is an affordable, smallest, lightest, powerful and open source APRS tracker with WSPR. It makes tracking pico balloons simple and easy.
LightAPRS-W 1.0 is an affordable, smallest, lightest, powerful and open source APRS tracker with WSPR. It makes tracking pico balloons simple and easy.
It is able to report location, altitude, temperature and pressure to the internet ([APRS-IS](http://status.aprs2.net)) or direct to an amateur radio once a minute with a solar panel/supercapacitors or just 4xAAA batteries.
Because LightAPRS-W is open source you can add your own custom sensors via I2C/SPI pins.
LightAPRS-W is available on http://shop.qrp-labs.com/aprs/lightaprs-w for order. If you don't need WSPR, than check out APRS only tracker [LightAPRS](https://github.com/lightaprs/LightAPRS-1.0) or LoRa/LoRaWAN only tracker [LightTracker](https://github.com/lightaprs/LightTracker-1.0).

### 6.Upload
- First attach an VHF antenna (at least 50cm monopole wire) to your tracker. Radio module may be damaged when not attaching an antenna, since power has nowhere to go.
- Connect LightAPRS-W Tracker to your computer with a micro USB cable.
- Connect LightAPRS-W 1.0 Tracker to your computer with a micro USB cable.
- If you have successfully installed the CH340G driver explained in the first step, you should see a COM port under **Tools->Port** menu item. Select that port.
