Arduino MKR WiFi 1300 LoRa Dev Board with 923 MHz Antenna
- Brands Kit by Cytron Code: CK-ARD-MKR-1300
Arduino MKR WAN 1300 has been designed to offer a practical and cost-effective solution for makers seeking to add Lo-Ra connectivity to their projects with minimal previous experience in networking. It is based on the Atmel SAMD21 and a Murata CMWX1ZZABZ Lo-Ra module.
The design includes the ability to power the board using two 1.5V AA or AAA batteries or an external 5V. Switching from one source to the other is done automatically. A good 32-bit computational power similar to the MKR ZERO board, the usual rich set of I/O interfaces, low power Lo-Ra communication, and the ease of use of the Arduino Software (IDE) for code development and programming. These features make this board the preferred choice for emerging IoT battery-powered projects in a compact form. The USB port can supply power (5V) to the board. The Arduino MKR WAN 1300 can run with or without the batteries connected and has limited power consumption.
Note: Unlike most Arduino & Genuino boards, the MKR WAN 1300 runs at 3.3V. The maximum voltage that the I/O pins can tolerate is 3.3V. Applying voltages higher than 3.3V to any I/O pin could damage the board. While output to 5V digital devices is possible, bidirectional communication with 5V devices needs proper level shifting.
The MKR WAN 1300 has to be used with an antenna that can be attached to the board with the micro UFL connector. So, this Arduino board comes with a 923MHz LoRa antenna and a 20cm U.FL Antenna Pigtail. You can refer to the video below on how to safely disconnect U.FL Antenna Pigtail connectors from the board.
Note: Always remember to plug in the antenna first before powering up your board.
The next one is a tutorial video from Maker.io on how to setup and use the Arduino MKR WAN 1300 for LoRa Connectivity. You can directly send data to The Things Network and customize your IoT projects. Besides, this board also can be used with other LoRa networks such as Helium, which become a famous IoT network nowadays with worldwide coverage.
