Restrictions apply to this RF Equipment for use in Australia:
- Only to be operated on 433Mhz / 915-930Mhz / 2.4Ghz (check the product description for compatible frequency ranges).
- If operating outside of shared frequencies or in such a way that is beyond low interference potential devices are intended to function, then you have obtained the appropriate authorisation to do so.
For use in other locations around the world:
- Follow region-specific frequency spectrum rules.
A declaration of use will need to be submitted during checkout.
Wireless communication is pretty amazing! You can unlock some very cool capabilities like collecting data from some distant sensor, or remote-controlling hardware. The PiicoDev Transceiver allows you to send and receive messages to other transceivers up to 100m away. Simply connect to a PiicoDev-compatible development board and follow the guide to begin sending and receiving data.
Daisy chain the Transceiver with other PiicoDev modules to create a more complex project. Use the provided Python / MicroPython library that simplifies setting up the transceiver and sending data. Transceivers will broadcast by default and can be configured with a group or address to allow for direct messaging to only intended recipients. That's especially useful for projects with multiple Transceivers where there may be a lot of messages going back and forth.
The PiicoDev Transceiver uses a HopeRF RFM69HCW radio operating at 915MHz to communicate. The on-board antenna is designed right into the PCB - for best performance, keep the antenna way from metal enclosures or other sources of interference.

PiicoDev Overview
PiicoDev is a
ecosystem designed for rapid prototyping and maker education. The range includes:
Here are some of the features we have baked into PiicoDev:
- Unified MicroPython libraries. The same MicroPython code examples will work on all supported platforms.
- Simple-and-expandable connections. Modules can be connected using a 4-pin connector and daisy-chained to expand projects.
- Breakout pins. Every module has a breakout section for optional advanced uses.
- Consistent size. We have taken care to ensure modules are consistent sizes so that they easy for 3D printing cases, stacking and experimenting with.
- Creative freedom. Simmer all of these features together and you end up with lots of creative freedom while still being a hands-on electronics experience.
PiicoDev electronics modules are designed and manufactured in Newcastle. They are priced for makers and education alike (affordable!). Get in touch with us if you have any questions.
