£28.40 GBP Sale

The Adafruit Feather RP2040 RF95 LoRa Radio is a powerful development board featuring the RP2040 microcontroller paired with a 900MHz LoRa radio module. It’s designed for creating wireless networks with greater range and lower power consumption compared to Bluetooth LE and WiFi. This board is ideal for portable projects where flexibility and power efficiency are essential.

At the heart of the board is the RP2040 chip, a 32-bit dual-core processor running at 133 MHz with 264 KB of RAM and 8 MB of onboard QSPI flash storage, perfect for running LoRa and LoRaWAN stacks. The Feather design is compact, lightweight, and versatile, with support for LiPo batteries and built-in battery charging.

Key Features:

  • LoRa 900MHz Radio Module (868/915 MHz) for long-range wireless communication
  • RP2040 microcontroller with dual-core 133 MHz performance
  • 8 MB SPI Flash for code and file storage
  • 21 GPIO Pins with various peripherals (I2C, SPI, UART, PWM)
  • Integrated 200mA LiPo Charger for portable projects
  • STEMMA QT Connector for quick and easy integration with I2C devices
  • USB Type C Connector for easy programming and debugging
  • RFM9x Radio Module for packet radio, supporting transmission over long distances (up to 2 km line-of-sight)
