The exact frequency is software-configurable for 868 MHz or 915 MHz ISM bands. It includes a STEMMA QT connector and a uFL connector for attaching larger external antennas.\n\nThe RFM69HCW radio handles small data packets with up to 100 mW output power, AES-128 encryption, and multipoint networking. With the RP2040's dual cores and 264 KB RAM, you can process radio data on one core while running your main application on the other. Ready-to-go libraries are available for both Arduino and CircuitPython.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nRP2040 Processor – Dual ARM Cortex M0+ cores at ~133 MHz, 3.3V logic\n\n264 KB SRAM + 8 MB SPI Flash – For code and file storage\n\nRFM69HCW 868/915 MHz Radio – SX1231-based packet radio, software-tuneable frequency\n\n+13 to +20 dBm Output – Up to 100 mW transmit power, selectable in software\n\n~500 m Range – Line-of-sight with wire antenna; up to 5 km with directional antennas\n\nAES-128 Encryption – Hardware-accelerated encrypted packet engine\n\nMultipoint Networking – Individual node addresses for creating wireless networks\n\nuFL Antenna Connector – For attaching external SMA antennas (or solder a wire antenna)\n\nUSB Type C – Native USB with UF2 bootloader\n\nSTEMMA QT / Qwiic – On-board I2C connector for solderless sensor connections\n\nNeoPixel – On-board RGB LED for status feedback\n\n21 GPIO Pins – 4× 12-bit ADC, 16× PWM, 2× I2C, 2× SPI, 2× UART\n\nLiPo Battery Support – JST connector with built-in 200 mA+ charger\n\nCompact Design – 52.2 mm × 23 mm × 7.3 mm, weighing 6 g\n\n\nAlso Available\n\n\nFeather RP2040 RFM95 LoRa 915 MHz – Long-range LoRa radio (2+ km)\n\nFeather RP2040 – Base model\n\nFeather RP2040 Adalogger – With MicroSD card slot\n\nFeather RP2040 SCORPIO – 8-channel NeoPixel driver\n\nFeather RP2040 USB Type A Host – With USB host port\n\nFeather RP2040 DVI – With HDMI-compatible DVI output\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nWireless sensor networks and remote monitoring\nBattery-powered radio telemetry\nPoint-to-point and multipoint data links\nIoT projects requiring sub-GHz range\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Feather RP2040 RFM69 868/915 MHz\n1× Header pin set\n\n\n\nNote: A wire antenna must be soldered to the board, or use a uFL-to-SMA adapter with an external 900 MHz antenna (not included).
