LoRa(TM) Expansion Board for Raspberry Pi Zero (434Mhz)
Summary of LoRa(TM) Expansion Board for Raspberry Pi Zero (434Mhz)
This project describes the Uputronics LoRa Expansion Board designed for the Raspberry Pi Zero, featuring a 434MHz LoRa module. It enables long-range, low-power communication using RFM95/98W transceivers with selectable CE0 or CE1 SPI interfaces via a switch. The board includes LEDs for link and data activity and supports stacking two boards on one Pi Zero. It comes with a 2x20 pin header and standoffs for secure mounting. Intended for engineering and research, the modules are not CE compliant and require certification for production use.
Parts used in the Uputronics LoRa Expansion Board:
- Uputronics LoRa Expansion Board for Raspberry Pi Zero
- 434MHz LoRa module (RFM95/98W transceiver)
- 2x20 way 4.93mm header
- 2 standoffs for mounting
Description
Designed for the Raspberry PiZero the Uputronics LoRa(TM) Expansion Board brings the ability to use the popular LoRa(TM) modules on the PiZero. This version comes with a 434Mhz LoRa module fitted.
Supplied with suitable header and standoffs, the board allows you to select the module on either CE0 or CE1 depending on the location of the switch.
The RFM95/98W transceivers feature the LoRa(TM) long range modem that provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimising current consumption.
The board has LED’s for link and data. You can stack 2 of these boards (with different CE selections) on one PiZero.
Supplied with a 2×20 way 4.93mm header and 2 standoffs for secure attachment to your Pi.
