Product Description

The PTSolns LoRa Key allows for quick and efficient prototyping with the 915MHz LoRa Module. The LoRa Module has a non-standard pitch and does not interface with common breadboards. The Key acts as a pitch adapter and allows the LoRa Module to work with a standard breadboard. Furthermore, the LoRa Key is very skinny and frees up more space on the breadboard.
This LoRa Module prototyping kit allows the user to get started in the world of LoRa very quickly. The package includes enough parts to make to wireless LoRa nodes. Tutorials are provided for getting started quickly.
For datasheet and other supporting material please see our "PTSolns Documentation Repository".
More Details
This LoRa module 915MHz SX1276 transceiver is a popular communication module used for long range communication. Working with RF can be difficult, especially when first starting out in the field. The LoRa in particular can be cumbersome to get working. Hence we created this complete package to get users working/prototyping with the LoRa quickly and with ease. This package includes the hardware required to make two LoRa transceiver nodes. Note that microcontrollers are not included as the LoRa can be interfaced to work with a large range of microcontrollers.
This package includes the following highlights:
- LoRa transceiver. In North America the free band that hobbyists can use is in the 915MHz range. This LoRa package is intended for this use. Warning: Other LoRa distributors may sell a transceiver set to a frequency that is not allowed to be used in North America (such as the 169MHZ, 315MHz, 433MHz, 868MHz versions of the LoRa transceiver).
- PTSolns LoRa Key. The LoRa has a pinout pitch of 2.0mm, which is not common and will not interface with a standard breadboard. The LoRa Key is a breakout board and adapter that lets the user interface the LoRa with standard pitch of 2.54mm (0.1in) boards.
- 8-Channel bi-directional logic level shifter (LLS). The LoRa works on 3.3V logic. If connecting the LoRa to a 5V microcontroller such as the Nano or Uno a LLS must be used to convert the 5V logic signals to 3.3V logic signals.
- Voltage regulator and capacitor: The LoRa module can be powered externally with the use of the LM1117 3.3V voltage regulator and the 10μF smoothing capacitors.
NOTE: PACKAGE DOES NOT COME ASSEMBLED. SOLDERING IS REQUIRED.
