DV164140-1: 868 MHz Transceiver; LoRaMote

Summary

* Only the LoRaMote transceiver is being documented in the 'Specifications'

The LoRa® Mote is a demonstration board that showcases the Microchip Low-Power Long Range LoRa® Technology Transceiver Module.

The LoRa® Mote provides access to the module through a convenient USB-to-UART bridge chip and supports connection points to all GPIO-controlled module pins.

The high-speed UART interface and the GPIO ports are available on the module to configure, control and transfer data. The Mote board has an on-board PIC18 supporting USB-to-UART serial bridge, enabling easy serial connection.

Demonstration of the module can be performed by plugging the Mote into a USB port of a PC. The USB port powers the Mote board and enables the user to communicate using the module's ASCII commands.

Development using the module with Microchip's PIC® MCU line is possible via the 24-pin card edge connectors on the Mote board.
