SparkFun Pro RF - LoRa, 915MHz (SAMD21, Black Board)

SparkFun Pro RF - LoRa, 915MHz (SAMD21, Black Board)

Discontinued

The SparkFun Pro RF combines a SAMD21 ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller with an RFM95W LoRa radio module operating in the 915 MHz ISM band. This compact board provides long-range wireless data communication with LoRa capabilities, making it well suited for IoT sensor networks and remote telemetry applications.

The board includes a wire antenna with stress-relief hole for physically demanding installations, plus a U.FL connector for external antennas when greater range is needed. A 2-pin JST connector and on-board charging circuit support LiPo battery power, and the integrated power switch allows the battery to charge via Micro-USB while the board is off.

Key Features

  • SAMD21 Microcontroller – 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ at 48 MHz, Arduino-compatible
  • RFM95W LoRa Radio – 915 MHz ISM band for long-range point-to-point communication
  • LoRaWAN Support – Jumper-selectable LoRaWAN mode for distributed sensor networks
  • Dual Antenna Options – Wire antenna included, plus U.FL connector for external antennas
  • Qwiic Connector – I²C interface for adding sensors and actuators without soldering
  • LiPo Battery Support – JST connector with on-board charge circuit
  • Power Switch – On/off control; charges battery when off and USB connected
  • Ground-Paired Pins – Every I/O pin accompanied by a ground connection

Ideal For

  • Long-range IoT sensor networks
  • Remote environmental monitoring
  • LoRaWAN node deployments
  • Wearable and embedded wireless projects
Tip: The included 76 mm (3″) wire antenna provides adequate range for short distances (up to approximately 1.6 km line-of-sight). Use the U.FL connector with an external antenna for longer range.

Package Contents

  • 1× SparkFun Pro RF (SAMD21 + RFM95W, 915 MHz, black PCB)
