Description
WiFi LoRa 32 is a classic IoT dev-board designed & produced by Heltec Automation(TM), it’s a highly integrated product based on ESP32 + SX127x, it has Wi-Fi, BLE, LoRa functions, also Li-Po battery management system, 0.96″ OLED are also included. It’s the best choice for smart cities, smart farms, smart homes, and IoT makers.
Overview
- CE Certificate;
- Microprocessor: ESP32 (dual-core 32-bit MCU + ULP core), with LoRa node chip SX1276/SX1278;
- Micro USB interface with a complete voltage regulator, ESD protection, short circuit protection, RF shielding, and other protection measures;
- Onboard SH1.25-2 battery interface, integrated lithium battery management system (charge and discharge management, overcharge protection, battery power detection, USB / battery power automatic switching);
- Integrated WiFi, LoRa, Bluetooth three network connections, onboard Wi-Fi, Bluetooth dedicated 2.4GHz metal 3D antenna, reserved IPEX (U.FL) interface for LoRa use;
- Onboard 0.96-inch 128*64 dot matrix OLED display, which can be used to display debugging information, battery power, and other information;
- Integrated CP2102 USB to serial port chip, convenient for program downloading, debugging information printing;
- Support the Arduino development environment;
- We provide ESP32 + LoRaWAN protocol Arduino® library, this is a standard LoRaWAN protocol that can communicate with any LoRa gateway running the LoRaWAN protocol. In order to make this code running, a unique license is needed. it can be found on this page;
- With good RF circuit design and basic low-power design (sleep current ≤800uA), it is convenient for IoT application vendors to quickly verify solutions and deploy applications.
