Pi Supply IoT micro:bit LoRa Node (Multi Frequency)
Retired Product
Search for an alternativeLoRa (Long Range) is the smart, long-range, wireless transmission technology that is enabling the future of IoT (Internet of Things).
Pi Supply's 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 the different frequencies listed below:
- EU 863 - 870 MHz
- US 902 - 928 MHz
- AU 915 - 928 MHz
- AS 923 MHz
- IN 865 - 867MHz
- KR 920 MHz
