1. Solar panel: Select a solar panel that can provide a voltage that can charge your LIC.
2. Lithium Ion Capacitor (LIC): This will act as your energy storage device, smoothing out any fluctuations in power supply from the solar panel.
3. Charge Controller: Since the output from the solar panel can be varied depending on the sunlight conditions, a charge controller will help manage the energy from the solar panel to safely charge the LIC.
4. Boost/Buck Converter: You might need a boost or buck converter to adjust the output voltage from the LIC to the desired voltage level your circuit requires.

• Connect Solar Panel:Positive terminal to Charge Controller:Solar input
• Connect Solar Panel:Negative terminal to Charge Controller:Ground
• Connect Charge Controller:Battery output to LIC:Positive Terminal
• Connect Charge Controller:Ground to LIC:Negative Terminal
• Connect Boost/Buck Converter:Input to LIC:Terminals respectively
• Connect Boost/Buck Converter:Output to the power input point (VBAT:P1) in your circuit replacing the existing battery connection.

1. Remove the old component: In your case, you'll be replacing the existing Seeed LoRa module (U1: 317990687) in your design. To do this in the Flux editor, you can select the component and delete it.
2. Add the new component: You can search for the RYLR998 in the component library. Once you've found it, you can add it to your schematic.
3. Rewire the new component: This step involves connecting the RYLR998 module to the correct components and nets in your schematic. Since I don't have specific pinout information for the RYLR998, and it might have different pin configurations compared to the replaced module, it is important to refer to the datasheet of the device to know how to connect it in your circuit.
4. Check for missing components or extra needs: Some replacements may require additional components, such as more decoupling capacitors, resistors, or even a different power supply. Referring to the datasheet or use cases of the component will help in identifying these needs.
5. Simulation and validation: If you are simulating your schematics, remember to do so again after replacing the component to ensure everything is still functioning expectedly.

1. Choose an appropriate antenna: The choice of antenna depends on several factors such as the frequency of operation, gain required, and the physical size constraints of your project. Given that the RYLR998 operates in the 433/470/868/915 MHz ISM bands, you might want to choose a monopole/dipole antenna or a helical antenna suitable for these frequencies.
2. Add the antenna to your design: In most instances, antennas come in the form of SMT (Surface Mount Technology) components, which can be found in Flux's component library. Else, you may have to create a new component footprint according to your antenna's datasheet.
3. Connect the antenna to the LoRa module: Usually, the antenna is connected to the RF output pin of the LoRa module. So, it would look something like this: Connect RYLR998:RF_OUT to ANT1:P1 (assuming ANT1 is your antenna).
4. Check the circuit: After connecting, verify the antenna’s characteristics (impedance, return loss, etc.) to ensure it's suitable for your circuit.
5. Layout considerations: When you are ready to move your design from schematic to layout, make sure your traces between the LoRa module and the antenna are 50 Ohms impedance controlled. Keep these traces as short and direct as possible to reduce signal loss. Avoid placing other components or vias in this RF path.
