The SX1272 LoRa module main advantage is the reach increasing but also the cost saving respect other similar modules like XBee 868 or XBee 900. The SX1272 LoRa module uses the SPI bus. The SPI port allows more speed communication and frees up the UART for other purposes like debugging or to connect communication modules.
It comes with an 868 MHz antenna to be used in this frequency.
This kit includes:
- SX1272 LoRa module for Arduino, Raspberry Pi and Intel Galileo - 868 MHz
- Raspberry Pi to Arduino Shields Connection Bridge
Note: The LoRa module is fully compatible with the Raspberry Pi 2 model B with our latest software.
