LoRa (Long Range) is the smart, long-range, wireless transmission technology that is enabling the future of IoT (Internet of Things).
The IoT micro:bit LoRa Node allows you to create an inexpensive LoRa node, compatible with The Things Network, in conjunction with a BBC micro:bit or other single board computers. This board allows quicker prototyping as it has the LoRa stack on the chip. Add sensors, buttons and more to complete your LoRa network!
The IoT micro:bit LoRa node uses the RAKWireless RAK811 LoRa node module which is based on Semtech SX1276 LoRa technology.
The board can be configured to use either 868MHz or 915MHz.
Features:
Uses RAK811 LoRa radio with full LoRaWAN stack embedded
Supports LoRaWAN connections and LoRaP2P modes
u.FL connector and antenna allowing different antennas to be used or integrated into boxes with external antennas
Low power - uses less than 50mA during transmission
Compatible with BBC micro:bit
Designed to be paired with a 868MHz or 915MHz LoRa Gateway HAT (not included)
