Description

Add a small radio module to your Feather with this FeatherWing map. This card add - one for all the Feather will allow you to interer packet radio with the RFM69 module or LoRa radio with the RFM9x circuit. These radio modules are perfect for link radio for several kilometers and option associated with a Feather Bluetooth, Wifi or GSM card, will allow you to bypass a radio 433 MHz on a mobile network or Internet connection.

These radio modules are sold under 4 variants (2 types of modulations and 2 type of spectrum). The module RFM69 is simple to use, and are very well known and widely used. LoRa modules are more powerful, potent on a longer distance, but are more expensive.

ICe module is the RFM69HCW version to the frequency of 433 MHz. The emissivity of the FSK packet is to + 20 dBm and has extra as the encryption and forwarding of data, up to 500 m range with a simple antenna, and up to 5 km with a directional antenna and some improvements.

• An Arduino library allows you to easily manage the packet Radio.
• Use fans or free ISM radio frequency
• Uses a simple antenna cable or uFL or SMA connector soldering
• Radion SX1231 with SPI interface module 
• 50mA (+ 13dBm) 150 my (+ 20dBm) necessary for a show and 30mA in listening
• Extent of 500 m around depending on the buildings, used frequencies, etc...
• Creation of multi-point network with with individual node address
• AES-128 encryption

For maps Feather ESP8266, Teensy 3 Feather, Feather 32u4 and Feather M0 a wired change is necessary.

All radio modules are sold independently and cannot discuss between modules in the same series. examples, RFM69 90 MHz modules only can dialogue with the RFM69 900 MHz, and LoRa 433 MHz modules with LoRa 433 MHz modules.

Cards are sold assembled and tested with a non welded connector. You will need to cut a piece of copper wire to make your own antenna. UFL or SMA connector can be also mounted on the circuit.
