Click Start Scanning to scan your Swarm M138 Modem QR Code:
The Swarm Modem registration code is the QR code on the M138 sticker.
If you are unable to use the browser-based scanner, you can also use your
camera app to scan the Swarm M138 Modem QR code, and enter the auth

Reinstall the tripod attachment (with Eval
Kit) to the Tripod, extend tripod legs
Install ¼ wave VHF antenna onto the solar
bracket bulkhead, hand-tight.
Screw the tripod mount into the threaded
hole on bottom of the Eval Kit solar bracket.
Remove the tripod mounting attachment by
loosening the latch at the top of the tripod.

The Eval Kit provides an LED indicator of the background noise RSSI.
An RSSI value of <-95dBm is ideal for successful transmission.
The OLED also displays the actual background noise RSSI value.
To lower your noise RSSI, isolate the Eval kit in an area with low RF
interference (outside, in a more remote location is ideal).
Noise RSSI [dBm] Background Noise Level
>-90 Bad (Unlikely to work)
-93 Marginal
-97 OK
-100 Good
<-105 Great
<-91dBm >-86dBm

There are multiple possible methods to send messages through the Eval Kit:
GPS Pinger
USB-C
Telnet
The GPS Pinger feature will automatically queue messages
containing the Eval Kit’s GPS location, speed, solar input, battery
charge level, and more.
By default, the pinger is set to queue a message every 60 minutes.
This can be configured between 15-720 minutes, or disabled by the
User (see user command page).
This method does not require WiFi to be enabled.
When connected to the Eval Kit access point in Access Point (AP)
mode, the Email Web App can be accessed at the web address
192.168.4.1
Users can queue messages on the Eval Kit of up to 192 bytes using
the web App. When transmitted by the Kit, the message will be
sent to the specified “To: (email)” address.
This method requires WiFi to be enabled.
In Access Point (AP) Mode, users connect to the Eval Kit AP (default
name swarm-xxxx with password 12345678), and communicate to
address 192.168.4.1 to queue messages and send other commands.
In Station (STA) Mode, users specify the network to connect the
Eval Kit to, connect to that network on another device, and
communicate with the Kit using the new displayed IP address.
This method requires WiFi to be enabled.
Users can connect a USB-C cable from their device to the Eval Kit
to communicate over a serial connection.
To enable USB-C Data, the J7 SERIAL CTRL jumper (#2) must be
moved from FEATHER to USB.
Once connected, Users can queue messages and send commands
directly to the Swarm M138 Modem in the Eval Kit.
The USB-C source will also charge the batteries in the Eval Kit.
This method does not require WiFi to be enabled.

GPS Pinger
The Eval Kit will automatically queue messages (default 60 min
interval) containing your GPS location, speed, solar input, battery
charge level, information while powered on.
You can now place your kit outdoors with a clear view of the sky
(with minimal obstructions), and observe the RSSI indicator LED
on the board. If leaving the Kit for an extended period of time,
orient the solar panel to face the Equator.
When the LED indicator shows GREEN, your kit has an optimal
background noise RSSI level for a successful transmission.
The Eval Kit will have best transmission results outdoors and ~
5 km away from cities (where RF noise is common).

GPS Pinger – Hive Map Feature
The Swarm Map Beta is an included service in the Swarm Hive to monitor device
health and track the location of your devices. The most recent recorded GPS point
(taken from your Eval Kit pinger messages) is displayed on the map.
Map functionality can be expanded to include any of Swarm’s modems (using
firmware version v1.1.0 or newer) by sending messages using APPID: 65535
through the Swarm Network in a JSON-structured message:
{"ln":-111.823,"si":0.128,"bi":0.216,"sv":20.032,"lt":40.4799,"bv":3.944,"d":1627498644,"n":261,"a":1835.0,"s":2.0,"c":290.0,"r":-103,å"ti":0.04}
